Pontiac body problems

Owners have filed 1,245 complaints with NHTSA about the body and structure on Pontiac vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 25 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Pontiac Grand Prix, worst in 2004.

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.
