Hyundai wheel problems

Owners have filed 774 complaints with NHTSA about the wheels on Hyundai vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 33 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Hyundai Elantra, 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.
