Oldsmobile steering problems

Owners have filed 892 complaints with NHTSA about the steering on Oldsmobile vehicles — 6% of everything reported about the brand, across 17 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Oldsmobile Intrigue, worst in 1998.

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.
