Is 148 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2017 and 2026, roughly 16 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
How does it compare with other years? The 2017 has 148 complaints on file, fewer than the 2016 (510) and more than the 2018 (117). Of the 14 model years of the Mazda CX-5 we cover, the 2016 has the most (510). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
