MYRModel Year Report

Pontiac

Every Pontiac model, and the year that drew the most complaints compared with that model’s other years.

Data updated 2026-10-09

Models

Sorted by total complaints, most first. More complaints does not mean a worse car: popular models collect more because more people drive them. The verdict compares each model’s worst year with that model’s own other years, never with another model. How we rate

Models too new or too rare to rate

We rate a model year by comparing it with the same model’s other years. These models don’t have enough years on file to compare, often because they are new. You can still see each one’s total complaints and its peak year.
