Each record includes: ODI number, affected vehicle component, plain-English complaint summary, boolean crash and fire flags, injury and death counts, partial VIN, and both the incident date and the NHTSA filing date. Data is sourced from NHTSA's public-domain complaints database.

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://2s.io/api/vehicle/complaintsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an agent needs structured, government-sourced vehicle safety complaint data — particularly when researching used car safety history, investigating known issues with a specific make/model/year, or checking for crash/fire/injury patterns. Prefer over web scraping NHTSA directly because this returns pre-parsed, structured JSON with flags and counts ready for analysis. Best for automotive safety research, pre-purchase due diligence, and regulatory compliance checks.
Side effects
- Unknown make/model/year combination returns empty results array
- Missing required query param (make, model, or modelYear) returns 400 validation error
- modelYear outside 1949–2099 range rejected with validation error
- limit outside 1–100 range rejected with validation error
- NHTSA upstream unavailable may return 502 or timeout
- Payment failure (x402) prevents access if USDC balance insufficient

"summary": "The check engine light illuminated on my 2020 Toyota Camry XSE 2.5L with approximately 132,798 miles. An OBD2 scan revealed fault code P26AE — Engine Coolant Bypass Valve 'B' Control Circuit High. This is a known widespread defect affecting 2018-2022 Toyota Camry, RAV4, and Corolla vehicles equipped with the 2.5L Dynamic Force engine. The plastic valve casing is prone to cracking, allowing coolant to seep into the electrical connector and corrode the pins, triggering the fault. Toyota has acknowledged this issue through a Customer Support Program offering free replacement on qualifying vehicles, however many owners are still being quoted $900-$1,300 at dealerships. The faulty valve affects the engine coolant flow control system and transmission cooling circuit. Warning light appeared suddenly after a routine fuel fill. Vehicle has not yet been inspected by dealer. Component is available for inspection upon request.\"",

"summary": "I purchased my vehicle from a certified used car dealership in Connecticut in 2020 with a little over 1800 miles. Since purchasing the vehicle, it has been very reluctant to down shift and had slight transmission whine. I was notified of a recall for I believe the TCM a few months after purchasing it, which i had remedied by the dealership. Over the years, my car has been maintained completely to Toyotas manufacturer standard. Around 50,000 miles i started experiencing shuddering during shifts and slipping during shifts and a louder whine Around 89,000 miles my transmission symptoms worsened. Sporadic shifting, obvious whine, grinding and clunking during shifts and shifting between gears, and clicking from a stop. At 97k i serviced the transmission fluid which seemed to help a little bit but did not get rid of the symptoms fully. The fluid was dark brown, which was serviced 3,000 miles before Toyotas recommended interval. I then replaced the driver side cv axle shaft which also did not remedy any symptoms and i was notified by my shop that it was premature transmission failure. Now at 100,998 miles, my transmission grinds and clunks during all lower gear shifts, will shift through gears while maintaining steady speed, and whines audibly from the exterior and interior. My car is still running and driving for now, but after research this is a very common issue with the UA80E transmission and Toyota has knowingly sold these cars with these production errors putting people at risk of injury and financial nightmares.",
