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.

I AM ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN DRIVE FOR SOME TIME THEN UNANNOUNCED IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND ONE THAT WHEN I RESEARCH THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND NO FIX OTHER THEN A SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT OF FUEL TANK AT $2000. THIS SEEMS TO BE PREVALENT WITH THIS CAR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. *TR
