Pontiac fuel system problems

Owners have filed 1,821 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on Pontiac vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 22 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Pontiac G6, worst in 2006.

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.
