Mitsubishi airbag problems

Owners have filed 1,142 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Mitsubishi vehicles — 8% of everything reported about the brand, across 26 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mitsubishi Galant, worst in 1994.

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.
