Mazda headlight problems

Owners have filed 876 complaints with NHTSA about the lighting on Mazda vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 33 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mazda CX-5, worst in 2016.

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.
