Saturn headlight problems

Owners have filed 1,151 complaints with NHTSA about the lighting on Saturn vehicles — 6% of everything reported about the brand, across 19 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Saturn Outlook, 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.
