Mitsubishi seat belt problems

Owners have filed 685 complaints with NHTSA about the seat belts on Mitsubishi vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 30 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mitsubishi Mirage, worst in 1993.

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.
