About
VehicleVerdict exists to answer one question well: what problems does a vehicle have, and is this model year worth buying? We do it by joining four separate government datasets — complaints, recalls, investigations, and crash-test ratings — into a single verdict for every make, model, and year.
Who runs this
VehicleVerdict is an independent project maintained by its founder. This section is a placeholder for the founder's name, background, and photo — to be filled in by the site owner.
Every figure on this site is traceable to a public NHTSA record; see our methodology for exactly how each metric is computed.
Disclaimers
VehicleVerdict is not affiliated with NHTSA, the U.S. Department of Transportation, or any vehicle manufacturer. The information here is provided for research and educational purposes and is not purchase, safety, or legal advice.
Complaint excerpts are unverified consumer statements, not confirmed defects. Always check a specific vehicle's open recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls and have any used vehicle independently inspected before purchase.
