Complaint-pattern analysis from publicly available NHTSA safety records.

System health index
Reliability telemetry
A cohort-relative signal that annualizes documented reports for vehicle age and weights NHTSA crash or fire flags.
Scores are relative to the indexed vehicle cohort, not failure rates. Crash and fire flags identify how a complaint was recorded by NHTSA; they do not establish that a reported component caused the event.
