Pontiac equipment problems

Owners have filed 544 complaints with NHTSA about the equipment on Pontiac vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 19 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Pontiac Grand AM, worst in 1999.

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.
