RAM steering problems

Owners have filed 3,292 complaints with NHTSA about the steering on RAM vehicles — 11% of everything reported about the brand, across 9 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the RAM 1500, worst in 2013.

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.
