Owners reported a crash in 11 complaints and a fire in 1 complaint; 8 people injured and 1 death are recorded in these reports. These are the owners' accounts, not findings of cause.
Complaint counts grow with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road; compare years with that in mind. Complaints are unverified owner reports.
