Buick window and wiper problems

Owners have filed 1,419 complaints with NHTSA about the glass, mirrors and wipers on Buick vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 22 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.
