Which model years to check twice
Complaints per production run, so a year that simply sold more does not top the list. On the Dodge Dynasty the gap between build years is 2.6×: a 1992 car draws 2.6 complaints per run, a 1988 one 1.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1993 | 61 | 37 | 1 | |
| 1992 | 104 | 40 | 8 | |

| 1990 | 43 | 29 | 3 | |
| 1989 | 41 | 30 | 1 | |
| 1988 | 8 | 8 | — |
Heaviest year here is 1992 at 2.6 complaints per run; lightest is 1988 at 1.
