Buick tire problems

Owners have filed 491 complaints with NHTSA about the tires on Buick vehicles — 2% of everything reported about the brand, across 23 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.
