Mitsubishi brake problems

Owners have filed 1,717 complaints with NHTSA about the braking system on Mitsubishi vehicles — 12% of everything reported about the brand, across 27 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mitsubishi Eclipse, worst in 2007.

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.
