Chevrolet wheel problems

Owners have filed 2,454 complaints with NHTSA about the wheels on Chevrolet vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 86 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Chevrolet Corvette, worst in 2017.

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.
