Harley-Davidson acceleration problems
Owners have filed 191 complaints with NHTSA about the throttle and cruise control on Harley-Davidson vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 68 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Harley-Davidson Flhtcu, worst in 2009.
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.
