Saab brake problems

Owners have filed 213 complaints with NHTSA about the braking system on Saab vehicles — 6% of everything reported about the brand, across 8 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.
