Lotus engine problems
Owners have filed 66 complaints with NHTSA about the engine on Lotus vehicles — 48% of everything reported about the brand, across 3 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Lotus Elise, worst in 2005.
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.
