Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1976 LeMans.
The 1976 Pontiac LeMans is the focus of this overview, and the surviving model-line complaint record from 1990 to 1993 gives researchers a useful long-term reliability snapshot: reported complaints stayed within a narrow band, peaking at 34 in 1991 and dipping to 25 in 1992. That consistency places the LeMans in a stable, low-volume problem phase by the time these cars were well into their second decade, with no dramatic spike or decline across those four years. For the 1976 model year specifically, the data suggest it is best understood as part of that aging-but-settled period rather than as a standout reliability outlier.
