Against its own model years

Issues owners of the 2014 Corvette report

No phrase appears often enough in these complaints to describe them reliably.

When it breaks

84% of reported failures happened before 30,000 miles (median 8,000 miles, from 44 complaints that recorded one).

Failures cluster early, which is the signature of how the car was built rather than of wear. A low-mileage example has not yet passed the risk window.

Limits of this figure. It counts safety complaints filed with the federal government, which is a floor on failures and not a census: problems that only cost money are under-reported. Complaint rates also reflect how likely a brand’s owners are to file, which cannot be separated from how often the car fails. Sales are calendar-year and the denominator for this nameplate is taken year by year from published US sales figures, each one quoted from a named source.
