Scion acceleration problems

Owners have filed 154 complaints with NHTSA about the throttle and cruise control on Scion vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 7 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Scion XB, worst in 2006.

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.
