GEO engine problems

Owners have filed 257 complaints with NHTSA about the engine on GEO vehicles — 11% of everything reported about the brand, across 5 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the GEO Metro, worst in 1997.

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.
