Oldsmobile airbag problems

Owners have filed 559 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Oldsmobile vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 15 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Oldsmobile Alero, worst in 2000.

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.
