Ford other reported problems

Owners have filed 18,507 complaints with NHTSA about the other systems on Ford vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 107 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Ford Explorer, worst in 2016.

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.
