Buick suspension problems

Owners have filed 872 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on Buick vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 21 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Buick Lesabre, worst in 2000.

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.
