Mitsubishi headlight problems

Owners have filed 357 complaints with NHTSA about the lighting on Mitsubishi vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 23 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mitsubishi Outlander, 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.
