Complaints on this exact build 3
NHTSA publishes the first 11 characters of the VIN with every complaint — that identifies the plant, model year, body and engine. So these are reports from cars built exactly like this one, not an average across the whole model.
That is about average for the 2015 Kia FORTE — 4 complaints per build across 67 builds.
