Chevrolet Impala Limited

Where it stands out against its peers

• Vehicle speed control: more complaints than 99% of 2016 cars — 19% of its 786 complaints, where an ordinary 2016 car has 5%.
• Electronic stability control (esc): more complaints than 98% of 2016 cars — 9% of its 786 complaints, where an ordinary 2016 car has 2%.

Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
