Rankings on CarItch shift every day as new complaints get clustered in and owners vote. This report surfaces the ten itches that moved the most in rank over the last seven days — the early-warning signal for emerging Indian car-ownership pain. Re-generated daily from our rank-snapshot history; each entry links to the underlying problem page.

How we ranked this

We rank by rank delta — the difference between each itch's rank in the latest snapshot and its rank seven days ago. Positive delta = climbed in the rankings (got worse for owners). If the 7-day window is still filling (new history data), we fall back to a shorter window so the list remains useful. Data: daily 00:15 UTC snapshot of every published itch, persisted to itches_history.
