Acura brake problems

Owners have filed 912 complaints with NHTSA about the braking system on Acura vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 20 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Acura MDX, worst in 2014.

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.
