These are counts of the complaints owners filed with NHTSA about this model year. A complaint is an owner's report: it is not verified by NHTSA or by this site, and it is not a finding that anything is wrong with the vehicle. A count is not a rate: a model that sold more has more complaints. A complaint may name several components, so the components do not add up to the total.
