Best and Worst Toyota Corolla Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 13 Toyota Corolla model years from 2010 to 2022 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 214 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2018 — 142 complaints, 3 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2022 — 150 complaints, 2 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2021 — 185 complaints, 1 recall campaign, 5★ NHTSA

Most owner complaints

  • 2010 — 1,264 complaints, 17 recall campaigns
  • 2011 — 590 complaints, 9 recall campaigns, 3★ NHTSA
  • 2012 — 446 complaints, 5 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
