GMC seat belt problems

Owners have filed 904 complaints with NHTSA about the seat belts on GMC vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 67 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the GMC Acadia, 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.
