Pontiac tire problems

Owners have filed 539 complaints with NHTSA about the tires on Pontiac vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 22 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Pontiac GTO, worst in 2004.

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.
