BMW fuel system problems
Owners have filed 3,144 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on BMW vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 218 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the BMW X5, worst in 2015.
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.
