Chevrolet window and wiper problems

Owners have filed 11,086 complaints with NHTSA about the glass, mirrors and wipers on Chevrolet vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 156 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Chevrolet Equinox, worst in 2006.

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.
