2015 Chevrolet Camaro
This year drew an ordinary 206 complaints for a Chevrolet Camaro — the model's median is 139. What they were about is the unusual part: 44.2% of them mention key, against 6.4% across the other years of this generation.
Last year of its generation. This Chevrolet Camaro ran from 2010 to 2015, so it had the whole run for its faults to be found and fixed. Last years are usually the most sorted of a generation.
NHTSA opened a defect investigation into this model year.

What the complaints were about
- key — 44.2% of this year's complaints, against 6.4% across the other years of this generation (6.9×).

- stuck — 28.2% of this year's complaints, against 5.9% across the other years of this generation (4.8×). Owners wrote it as: stuck, stuck ignition, gets, gets stuck.
Words owners used for the same problem are counted together, so a fault written four different ways is measured once. Grouped by which complaints they appear in, not by a list anyone wrote in advance.

How this was worked out
Every year of the Chevrolet Camaro was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
