Mercury seat problems

Owners have filed 395 complaints with NHTSA about the seats on Mercury vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 19 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mercury Mountaineer, worst in 2008.

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.
