Honda airbag problems

Owners have filed 12,772 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Honda vehicles — 10% of everything reported about the brand, across 34 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Honda Accord, worst in 2000.

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.
