Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

MY CAR ALARM KEEPS BEEPING FOR NO REASON WHEN PARKED. AS SOON AS I START THE CAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON. THE DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT SAYS THAT MY TIRE IS FLAT; SO, I CHANGED ALL FOUR TIRES, AND IT'S STILL GIVING DRASTICALLY INACCURATE READINGS OFTEN. SOMETIMES IT SAYS THAT MY TIRE IS FLAT-- 0 PRESSURE, AND SOMETIMES, IT SAYS THAT IT HAS LOW PRESSURE. MY PROGRAMMED RADIO STATIONS KEEP DELETING FROM MEMORY. I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON, AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.
