I built VehicleVerdict to answer a question used-car shoppers rarely get a straight answer to: what actually goes wrong with a given model year, and is it a year to buy or a year to avoid?

Every figure on this site is a direct tally of public records from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration — consumer complaints, safety recalls, defect investigations, and crash-test ratings — with no invented reliability score layered on top. The methodology page documents exactly how each number is computed and where it falls short.
