Car IQ Report™ is powered by official data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Our platform is updated daily with the latest vehicle complaints, recalls, and emissions data — ensuring the insights you rely on are accurate, transparent, and up to date.

For just $150/year, you’ll get full access to every tool, insight, and update we offer.

Our platform pulls in real-time car complaints submitted by vehicle owners to the NHTSA —the official agency overseeing vehicle safety. These car complaints are formal reports that describe problems ranging from engine stalling and brake failures to sudden fires or airbag malfunctions. Often, they’re the first warning signs of serious issues that manufacturers have yet to acknowledge or recall—and in many cases, they go ignored for years.

And this is where Car IQ Report can help — by turning that massive pool of raw data into clear, easy-to-understand reliability insights that empower professionals to make smarter, faster decisions.
