Mercury tire problems

Owners have filed 802 complaints with NHTSA about the tires on Mercury vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 17 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mercury Mountaineer, worst in 1997.

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.
