Chevrolet suspension problems

Owners have filed 6,387 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on Chevrolet vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 127 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Chevrolet Blazer, worst in 1996.

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.
