Honda brake problems

Owners have filed 8,076 complaints with NHTSA about the braking system on Honda vehicles — 6% of everything reported about the brand, across 74 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Honda Accord, worst in 2008.

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.
