Oldsmobile body problems

Owners have filed 573 complaints with NHTSA about the body and structure on Oldsmobile vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 19 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Oldsmobile Silhouette, 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.
