        How this compares

        2017 Honda Accord Hybrid45
        Median 2017 model here (27 vehicles)591
        Median 2017 sedan here (7)390

        45 complaints is 13.1 times fewer than the median 2017 model on this site and 8.7 times fewer than the median 2017 sedan. Among the 7 Accord Hybrid model years here it ranks 7th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
