What the AP reporter must have done with this story:

An AP review of unverified driver complaints found 105 such reports since Feb. 15. That’s a 75 percent increase from the 60 reported earlier this month by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. [Emphasis mine]

Comparing two fifteen day periods.  With Congressional hearings in between.  They aren’t even trying anymore.
