Mazda suspension problems

Owners have filed 1,409 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on Mazda vehicles — 5% of everything reported about the brand, across 33 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mazda Tribute, worst in 2005.

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.
