Chevrolet seat belt problems

Owners have filed 4,261 complaints with NHTSA about the seat belts on Chevrolet vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 122 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Chevrolet Malibu, worst in 2011.

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.
