The funny thing about cars today is when they rate them,they are rated on a curve..Literally the difference between the 1st place rated car and any given time and the 30th place car is like one problem per 100k vehicles.
For instance,when Ford first came out with My Ford Touch,the system didn't have anything wrong with it per say, it's just that the average person that wasn't tech saavy just couldn't figure out how to use the system.They would go back to the dealer to reprogram and simplify it and that would count as a problem.
Finally, Ford put a new module in with new programming and all was well.
Almost every automaker foreign and domestic got blamed for Takata airbag failures.Luckily they all got together and made sure they didn't get the blame for what was beyond their control..
There are so many things that can wrong today with cars and most of the time service shops end up being parts changers when parts aren't even the problem many times.They will change modules and sensors and when they find out the problem is noting more than a return signal wire in the ECU or a bad ground,they end up leaving the new parts in even tho weren't bad.
This is why code scanners can't determine problems by just reading numerical codes.The diagnostic data is much more important.
