Audi fuel system problems

Owners have filed 1,315 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on Audi vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 52 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Audi A6, worst in 1999.

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.
