Chevrolet body problems

Owners have filed 8,723 complaints with NHTSA about the body and structure on Chevrolet vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 150 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 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.
