There's also a difference between an electrical fault that means the light in the ashtray goes out, and an alternator that fries at 21,000 miles and leaves you in a shopping mall parking lot waiting for the tow truck. Both of those get filed under "electrical" without regard to severity. I'd really love to see them rate cars according to "show-stopper" problems: ones that result in the car needing a tow, or failing inspection, or lighting the "CHECK ENGINE" lamp on the dashboard. Those kind of problems are a lot more serious.
