I think the Mazda line of vehicles should be looked into. I have a 2005 Mazda 6 I sedan that from the very begining had issues. At 5000 miles I complained to the NHTSA because the car shut off on me on the highway. I took it to the dealership and the dealership could not duplicate the problem. The problem with the car shutting off has happened a few other times over the years and I've always had it investigated however the dealership could never find an issue. Finally it is 2011 and the car has 96000 miles on it and is completely shut down. As it turns out despite getting every piece of maintenance done on time and in order by the manufacturer cylinder #2 and #3 misfire and ultimately need "retrhreading?" . I wonder if this was a problem on the car to begin with. I have talked to a few other Mazda 6 owners who have had a similar experience as I did.

Engine will shut off without warning at any speed. I researched the issue and found that there are a large number of complaints regarding the exact same symptoms with the 2003-2005 Mazda 6. Mazda even released a service bulletin: 01-016/06 in 2006 regarding a bad throttle body with aa, ab, or ba markings. Sure enough after removing the throttle body, mine had the aa markings. From the amount of online complaints and the fact that a service bulletin was released, this is not an isolated issue. This is a huge safety concern and should be a safety recall. To top it off, currently Mazda has an issue with replacement throttle body's that will cause the car to jerk and stall at anytime. They have admitted that the current new stock of throttle bodies will not work with my vehicle. This will cause people to keep driving with a bad throttle body since there is no replacement.
