The Shia believe that the Quran is complete and free from any Tahreef or distortion. As the Quran testifies itself
Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian (15:9)
No falsehood can approach it from before or behind it: It is sent down by One Full of Wisdom, Worthy of all Praise." Al-Quran 41:42
I could quote 100s of Statements and Fatawa given by our Ulema (because every single one of them believes in the completeness of the Quran) but I will suffice with 2. 1 early and 1 contemporary.
"Our belief is that the Quran which Allah revealed to His Prophet
Muhammad is (the same as) the one between the two covers (daffatayn).
And it is the one which is in the hands of the people, and is not
greater in extent than that. The number of surahs as generally
accepted is one hundred and fourteen ...And he who asserts that we say
that it is greater in extent than that, is a liar."

Saduq, English version, p77. (cited in al-islam.org)
"From the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) until today, not one word of the Qur'an has been
edited, altered, added, omitted, lost, distorted, or otherwise changed."
