Saturn stability control problems

Owners have filed 313 complaints with NHTSA about the stability control on Saturn vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 13 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Saturn Aura, worst in 2009.

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.
