Edmonds recently did a survey of the most complained about vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).  The figures are adjusted for the number of vehicles sold, something not always taken into account.  For instance, Volkswagen has 4.1% of the complaints, but only sells 2.4% of the cars sold.   The list also seems to very closely agree with our in-shop experience.  Something to consider before buying a new car?
