RAM acceleration problems

Owners have filed 1,269 complaints with NHTSA about the throttle and cruise control on RAM vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 8 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the RAM 1500, worst in 2016.

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.
