Buick body problems

Owners have filed 1,224 complaints with NHTSA about the body and structure on Buick vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 26 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Buick Lesabre, worst in 2003.

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.
