Owners have filed 947 complaints with NHTSA about the seats on GMC vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 63 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the GMC Sierra, worst in 1995.

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.
