Which build runs owners report most

Each of the other 65 I-PACE runs has 5 complaints or fewer. ForCar has checked 26 I-PACE VINs so far, most often 2021, 2019, 2020 builds; 1 of them belong to one of the 12 runs above.
Which model years to check twice
Complaints per production run, so a year that simply sold more does not top the list. On the Jaguar I-PACE the gap between build years is 2.3×: a 2019 car draws 4.5 complaints per run, a 2020 one 2.
| Year | Per run | Complaints | Runs | Crashes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 22 | 9 | — | |
| 2022 | 3 | 3 | — | |
| 2020 | 61 | 31 | 1 | |
| 2019 | 140 | 31 | 2 |
Heaviest year here is 2019 at 4.5 complaints per run; lightest is 2022 at 1. The 2024 line is still collecting reports, so it reads low.
