A searchable vehicle-reliability database that maps reported problems to the mileage at which they occurred across 318 vehicle generations.

Why it surfaced

MileageCurve turns 2,116,934 NHTSA complaints into a more useful question than simple failure counts: when did the problem happen? Its Toyota Prius example separates early electronic and hydraulic-brake complaints from ordinary later-life brake wear, while clearly noting that complaint counts are not failure rates.

Thirty Patents for the Grave

August 13’s newborn domains include 30 safety-coffin patents, lost notices for false teeth and a box of hair, short films playing in 100 Tokyo taxis, and a Queensland river view arranged gauge by gauge downstream.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-13 Domain Arrivals issue.
