Dodge airbag problems

Owners have filed 12,331 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Dodge vehicles — 8% of everything reported about the brand, across 62 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Dodge RAM 1500, worst in 2003.

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.
