Freightliner steering problems

Owners have filed 96 complaints with NHTSA about the steering on Freightliner vehicles — 6% of everything reported about the brand, across 22 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Freightliner Cascadia, 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.
