Buick airbag problems

Owners have filed 2,100 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Buick vehicles — 7% of everything reported about the brand, across 20 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Buick Enclave, worst in 2014.

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.
