Of the 1 500L model years with a verified US sales figure (2014), only one drew enough complaints to be ranked against the others.
Median across these years: 2.70 per 1,000 sold in the first three years. A model year well above its own nameplate’s median is the signal worth acting on.
Each model year with a verified denominator. Follow a year for what owners reported about it.

Safety complaints owners filed with NHTSA in each model year’s first three years on the road, divided by how many were sold, so a year that sold twice as many cars is not penalised for it.
