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).

Which Subaru Impreza year has the most complaints?
2019 (194), 2018 (151), 2017 (125). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
