Mitsubishi engine problems
Owners have filed 1,540 complaints with NHTSA about the engine on Mitsubishi vehicles — 11% of everything reported about the brand, across 39 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mitsubishi Eclipse, worst in 1995.
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.
