Oldsmobile transmission problems

Owners have filed 757 complaints with NHTSA about the transmission on Oldsmobile vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 20 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Oldsmobile Bravada, worst in 2002.

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.
