Oldsmobile acceleration problems

Owners have filed 444 complaints with NHTSA about the throttle and cruise control on Oldsmobile vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 17 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Oldsmobile Cutlass, worst in 1994.

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.
