Buick seat belt problems

Owners have filed 726 complaints with NHTSA about the seat belts on Buick vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 24 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Buick Park Avenue, 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.
