Mercedes Benz stability control problems

Owners have filed 498 complaints with NHTSA about the stability control on Mercedes Benz vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 105 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mercedes Benz ML320, worst in 2001.

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.
