GMC suspension problems

Owners have filed 1,574 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on GMC vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 71 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the GMC Jimmy, worst in 1997.

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.
