Pontiac window and wiper problems

Owners have filed 1,697 complaints with NHTSA about the glass, mirrors and wipers on Pontiac vehicles — 4% of everything reported about the brand, across 24 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Pontiac Grand AM, worst in 1999.

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.
