Chevrolet equipment problems

Owners have filed 2,396 complaints with NHTSA about the equipment on Chevrolet vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 112 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Chevrolet Malibu, worst in 1998.

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.
