Mazda equipment problems

Owners have filed 314 complaints with NHTSA about the equipment on Mazda vehicles — 1% of everything reported about the brand, across 25 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mazda 626, worst in 2000.

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.
