Audi acceleration problems

Owners have filed 500 complaints with NHTSA about the throttle and cruise control on Audi vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 43 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Audi A4, worst in 2003.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
