2011 MAZDA MAZDA2 Complaints

AT LOW SPEED DRIVING A CLUNKING NOISE COULD BE FELT IN THE STEERING. ON 11-20-2015 THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALER DIAGNOSIS SHOWED A FAILURE IN THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING UNIT AND IT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE. DEALER ADVISED THAT NO TSB WAS ISSUED AND SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A FAILURE IN THE ELECTRICAL POWER ASSIST UNIT IS A SERIOUS, IF NOT DANGEROUS ,CONDITION THAT SHOULD CAUSE THE NHTSA TO ORDER A RECALL OF THE 2011 MAZDA 2 TO MAKE SURE THE VEHICLES ARE ROAD WORTHY AND SAFE. REF: ROGER BEASLEY MAZDA, GEORGETOWN,TX INVOICE: 160299 DATED 11-20-2015.

AT LOW SPEEDS STEERING HAS A CLUNKING FEEL . MAKES DRIVER FEEL LIKE STEERING IS LOOSE.

TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSE A BUMPING SOUND IN STEERING, IT CAN BE FELT. THE STEERING RACK HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THE PROBLEM STARTED AT ABOUT 50000 MILES AND THE CAR HAS 115000 MILES. *TR

WHEN SPEEDS UNDER 20MPH THE STEERING RACK RATTLES. CURRENTLY THERE IS A TSB FOR THE REPAIR TO REPLACE THE RACK AND PINION. *TR

ACCELERATOR STUCK TO THE FLOOR. AFTER ARRIVING AT DESTINATION AND SHUTTING OFF CAR, WAS ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT PUSHING ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR RESULTS IN IT STICKING THERE. THIS IS A NEW CAR THAT I RENTED. *TR

****** PLEASE DO NOT ADD MY INFO. TO ANY SOLICITATION LISTS..****** PURCHASED NEW 2011 MAZDA 2, BLOW OUT OCCURRED WITH 3021 MILES ON VEHICLE/TIRES. 185/55/15 YOKOHAMA TIRES. LOW SPEED BLOW OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. NO WRECK OR INJURY OCCURRED BUT IT SCARED BOTH ME AND MY 85 YEAR OLD FATHER. THE SPACE SAVER SPARE TIRE IS REALLY AN ISSUE AS WELL. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT IS SO NARROW IN COMPARISON TO THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES. EVERY TIME I WAS ON GROOVED PAVEMENT, THE TIRE WOULD PULL ME INTO THE NEXT LANE OF TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS AS IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET THE TIRE REPLACED ON MONDAY THE 25TH OF JULY. NO ADJUSTMENT WAS MADE BY THE DEALER AND I SPOKE WITH THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND THEY WANT THE TIRE BUT IF I GIVE THEM THE TIRE THERE GOES MY CASE FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND OR CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT, IF ONE IS ALREADY PENDING. I AM AS MUCH CONCERNED ABOUT THE SPACE SAVER TIRE AS THE BLOW OUT OF THE NEW TIRE! PLEASE DO NOT ADD ANY OF MY INFO. TO ANY SOLICITATION LISTS OR SPAMMING LISTS. *TR
