GMC steering problems

Owners have filed 3,443 complaints with NHTSA about the steering on GMC vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 82 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the GMC Acadia, worst in 2010.

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.
