Nissan Titan

Where it stands out against its peers

• Engine: more complaints than 99% of 2016 cars — 65% of its 196 complaints, where an ordinary 2016 car has 21%.
• Fuel/propulsion system: more complaints than 93% of 2016 cars — 16% of its 196 complaints, where an ordinary 2016 car has 6%.

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.
