These figures represent real reports submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration by vehicle owners and official recall campaigns initiated by automakers to address safety defects. Whether you are shopping for a used 2023 model or currently drive one, this data can help you understand the safety profile of vehicles from this model year.

Most Problematic 2023 Vehicles

Among all 2023 vehicles, the models generating the most consumer complaints include the Honda Hr-V (673 complaints), the Nissan Rogue (563 complaints), the Honda Cr-V (484 complaints). High complaint volumes can indicate widespread manufacturing defects, design flaws, or recurring component failures. However, complaint counts alone should not be the sole factor in your decision — popular vehicles with high sales volumes naturally receive more reports simply because more units are on the road.
