Toyota tire problems

Owners have filed 2,972 complaints with NHTSA about the tires on Toyota vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 60 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Toyota Camry, worst in 2002.

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.
