Acura electrical problems

Owners have filed 1,448 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Acura vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 21 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Acura MDX, 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.
