Acura suspension problems

Owners have filed 393 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on Acura vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 18 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Acura TL, worst in 2004.

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.
