Reading the numbers
Across the 33 model years of the Toyota Corolla in this data, 1992 draws comparatively few complaints; 2009 is the outlier year.
Filings have fallen off, 4 in the last three years against 27 in the three before. That is normal as a generation leaves the road.
The median odometer reading at the time of complaint was 98,000 miles.
