Audi steering problems

Owners have filed 701 complaints with NHTSA about the steering on Audi vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 44 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Audi A4, worst in 1998.

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.
