"The problems most often reported by owners are Bluetooth pairing/connectivity and built-in voice recognition systems misinterpreting commands. Navigation system difficult to use and navigation system inaccurate are also among the 10 most frequently reported problems."

So "my phone doesn't pair" carries the same weight as "my engine blew up in a raging inferno." In other words this survey is meaningless. There's no weighting system, every problem no matter how big or small counts exactly the same. At the very least they need categories to give you some sort of context.
