2016 MAZDA CX-3 Complaints

IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD 4 EPISODES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. EACH TIME WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, AND SUDDENLY THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AS THE ENGINE REVVED, AND THE BRAKE WAS INEFFECTIVE AT STOPPING THE CAR. TWO OF THE EPISODES COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT QUICK EVASIVE ACTION ON MY PART. I HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL EPISODES OF THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVING ON START UP (WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL). *TR

THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE REGARDING THE REAR LIFT GATE. IT'S BEEN MORE THAN 2 1/2 MONTHS AND STILL NO REPAIR FOR THIS AND THE WINTER IS STARTING WITH THE ROAD SALTS WHICH MAY CORRODE THE IMPROPERLY COATED REAR LIFT GATE. MAZDA HAS NOT OFFERED A REMEDY AND IT'S BEEN TOO LONG. PLEASE FOLLOW UP AND PRESSURE THEM TO COME UP WITH A REMEDY.

I TURNED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND WAS SLOWING DOWN .EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR SPED UP INTO A WOODED AREA. THE CAR SHOT INTO THE TREES. WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I TRIED TO STOP IT BUT IT JUST KEPT GOING. THE CAR STOPPED WHEN IT HIT A TREE. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND REALIZED THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK.

WARM ENGINE, VERY HARD/LONG CRANKING TIME. VS. STARTS RIGHT UP WHEN ENGINE COLD

I BOUGHT A MAZDA CX-3 ON DECEMBER 31ST 2015. ON JANUARY 27TH I DROVE THE CAR FROM HOME TO WORK FOR 20 MINUTES AND I ENTERED PARKING LOT WITH MAY BE 15 MILES AN HOUR! I MADE MY 90 DEGREE TURN INTO PARKING STALL WITH MAY BE 5 MILES AN HOUR AND PUSHED THE BRAKE TO FULLY STOP! CAR ALMOST STOPPED BUT SUDDENLY SOMETHING WEIRD HAPPENED AND CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED! IT STOPPED BY HITTING THE SNOW BANK AND ANOTHER CAR! I AM SHOCKED AND VERY SCARED!

MULTIPLE WATER LINES LEFT ON WINDSHIELD AFTER EACH SWIPE OF THE WIPERS DURING A LIGHT OR HEAVY RAINFALL WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. THIS PROBLEM INITIALLY OCCURED IN OCTOBER, 2015, AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR EVERY TIME IT RAINS!! THIS PROBLEM DEFINITELY AFFECTS VISIBILITY! MY NEW CX-3 DID RECEIVE NEW WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED! APPARENTLY THE WIPER BLADES MAZDA IS PROVIDING ARE DEFECTIVE!!
