Used Car Statistics 2026, Car Complaints Rank First for the Tenth Year
Used car statistics for 2026: thefts by state, recalls, the states where car complaints rank first and what nobody counts. Every figure sourced and dated.
How common is odometer fraud, really? Which states brand the most titles? How many complaints does a given model year draw, and about what? This section compiles the numbers from NHTSA, NICB, NMVTIS, state agencies and industry sources, cleans them up, and puts them side by side so buyers, journalists and professionals can see the scale of each problem and where it concentrates. Every figure is sourced and dated, and we note where the data is thin or the methods differ, because a number without its limits is just a scarier way of guessing.
