Mazda airbag problems

Owners have filed 2,585 complaints with NHTSA about the airbag system on Mazda vehicles — 9% of everything reported about the brand, across 33 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mazda MAZDA6, worst in 2006.

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.
