US Vehicle Fire / Crash / Injury Complaint Index — NHTSA Owner Complaints, MY 2005–2025

Failure patterns where owners alleged a fire, crash, injury, or death in their NHTSA complaint, ranked by alleged deaths then fires. These are UNVERIFIED consumer reports filed with NHTSA, not confirmed incidents — they indicate where owners report the most severe outcomes, not adjudicated causation. Contents: 13,999 harm-flagged failure patterns. Method: Each row is a (vehicle, component-category) cluster carrying ≥1 complaint flagged by NHTSA for crash, fire, injury, or death. Counts are sums of those NHTSA flags across the cluster's complaints. NHTSA complaints are submitted by consumers and are not verified by NHTSA or ProblemsByVin; treat as allegations. NHTSA complaints are unverified consumer reports. Source: U.S. NHTSA owner complaints and recalls (public record), model years 2005–2025.
