Acura airbag problems

Owners have filed 1,916 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Acura vehicles — 11% of everything reported about the brand, across 19 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Acura TL, worst in 2004.

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.
