Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).

2016 (110), 2021 (101), 2018 (95). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
