Dodge brake problems

Owners have filed 13,091 complaints with NHTSA about the braking system on Dodge vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 85 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Dodge Caravan, worst in 1993.

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.
