Saab airbag problems
Owners have filed 563 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Saab vehicles — 15% of everything reported about the brand, across 12 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Saab 9-3, worst in 2006.
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.
