Saab fuel system problems

Owners have filed 313 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on Saab vehicles — 9% of everything reported about the brand, across 10 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Saab 9-3, worst in 2003.

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.
