Mazda body problems

Owners have filed 1,511 complaints with NHTSA about the body and structure on Mazda vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 37 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mazda MAZDA6, worst in 2009.

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.
