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.

WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AT 20 MPH IT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE RAN THROUGH A STOP SIGN. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, WHICH STARTED AT 400 MILES, VEHICLE WOULD EITHER PULL TO THE RIGHT/LEFT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE CAUSE OF BOTH FAILURES WAS UNDETERMINED.*AK
