Buick electrical problems
Owners have filed 3,990 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Buick vehicles — 14% of everything reported about the brand, across 26 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Buick Lacrosse, worst in 2008.
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.
