Mitsubishi electrical problems

Owners have filed 1,035 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Mitsubishi vehicles — 7% of everything reported about the brand, across 29 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mitsubishi Galant, worst in 2002.

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.
