Frequently asked questions
Which Chevrolet model has the most NHTSA complaints in this snapshot?
Chevrolet Malibu has the highest owner-report count among published Chevrolet nameplates (19,180 complaints). That is a count, not a ranking of reliability.
What is the difference between a complaint and a recall?
A complaint is an owner report filed with NHTSA. A recall is a manufacturer safety campaign. YearTell shows both and does not treat a complaint total as a defect finding.
Does YearTell score Chevrolet reliability?
No. Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold. Read the methodology for what these numbers cannot tell you.
