Saturn body problems

Owners have filed 486 complaints with NHTSA about the body and structure on Saturn vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 18 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Saturn VUE, 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.
