Toyota acceleration problems

Owners have filed 11,079 complaints with NHTSA about the throttle and cruise control on Toyota vehicles — 8% of everything reported about the brand, across 64 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Toyota Camry, worst in 2007.

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.
