Honda fuel system problems

Owners have filed 6,869 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on Honda vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 95 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Honda Cr-V, worst in 2018.

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.
