Dodge electrical problems

Owners have filed 20,517 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Dodge vehicles — 13% of everything reported about the brand, across 82 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Dodge Grand Caravan, 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.
