Porsche airbag problems

Owners have filed 218 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Porsche vehicles — 8% of everything reported about the brand, across 26 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Porsche Cayenne, worst in 2019.

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.
