Mercury equipment problems

Owners have filed 457 complaints with NHTSA about the equipment on Mercury vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 15 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mercury Sable, worst in 1993.

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.
