Mazda window and wiper problems

Owners have filed 972 complaints with NHTSA about the glass, mirrors and wipers on Mazda vehicles — 100% of everything reported about the brand, across 35 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Mazda CX-5, worst in 2014.

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.
