Frequently asked questions

Which Pontiac model has the most NHTSA complaints in this snapshot?

Pontiac G6 has the highest owner-report count among published Pontiac nameplates (5,838 complaints). That is a count, not a ranking of reliability.

What is the difference between a complaint and a recall?

A complaint is an owner report filed with NHTSA. A recall is a manufacturer safety campaign. YearTell shows both and does not treat a complaint total as a defect finding.

Does YearTell score Pontiac reliability?

No. Counts are not adjusted for how many vehicles were sold. Read the methodology for what these numbers cannot tell you.
