Pontiac seat problems

Owners have filed 448 complaints with NHTSA about the seats on Pontiac vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 20 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Pontiac Grand AM, worst in 1999.

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.
