Fiat acceleration problems

Owners have filed 65 complaints with NHTSA about the throttle and cruise control on Fiat vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 4 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Fiat 500, worst in 2012.

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.
