2012 MAZDA MAZDA3 Complaints

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL-I BELIEVE THE 2012 MAZDA 3 SHOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS DRIVER SIDE OPEN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN A AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE COMPUTER SAYS MY AIRBAG HAD BEEN DEPLOYED WHEN IT HAS NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 MAZDA 3. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000.

I WENT TO THE MADZA PLACE ON AUGUST 22 I TAKED TO CLARK HE SAW MY DASH BOARD AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD A RECALL THAT HE WOULD NEED TO ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD TAKE A MONTH TO GET IT IN. I HAVE CALLED MANY TIMES TO GET MY CAR FIX THEY TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS NOT A RECALL AT THIS TIME. I AM NOT VERY HAPPY THAT CLARK TOLD ME HE WOULD CALLED AND LET ME KNOW THAT THE PART WAS IN. I AM VERY NOT HAPPY AT THIS TIME TO WHAT I NEED TO DO. NO ONE AT THE DEALER SHIP IS HELPING ME AT ALL BOB MOORE MADZA (405) 775-7000. I NEED MY DASHBOARD FIX ASAP. PLEASE HELP

TAKATA RECALL IS THERE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THERE IS NOT. DON'T KNOW HOW HE COULD KNOW THAT AS HE DID NOT ASK FOR THE VIN. SO FAR THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY AIRBAG PROBLEMS BUT I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT. IF YOU CALL, YOU MUST INCLUDE *82 BEFORE THE PHONE NUMBER. IF YOU DON'T, MY PHONE MAY SAY THE PHONE IS DISCONNECTED. TOO MANY SALES CALLS.

TAKATA RECALL - VEHICLE WAS PARKED/STATIONARY. THE DASHBOARD IS BREAKING APART WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS. SEE ATTACHED PICTURE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. I WILL BE CALLING THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS REPAIRED SINCE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE OCCUPANTS (MY FAMILY) OF THE VEHICLE.

WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN APRIL 2017 HIT FROM THE BACK AND PUSH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BUT THE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS FLASHING EVERY SINCE THEN. WE WERE SITTING STILL AT A STOP WHEN WE GOT REAR ENDED AND PUSH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.

THE HEADLIGHT HAVE BEEN FLICKERING SINCE A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, & IT CAUSES INADEQUATE ALTERNATOR OUTPUT, IT HAS ALSO CAUSED ISSUES WITH LOSING MY POWER STEERING. THE HEADLIGHT NOT ONLY FLICKER WHEN BREAKING, BUT HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT THEY WILL COMPLETELY GO OUT, & WILL ALSO FLICKER ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS WHEN BRAKING & TURNING THE WHEEL. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER DUE TO POLICE THINKING I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS WHEN BREAKING, BUT WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THE POLICE OFFICER THE SERVICE BULLETIN 01-019/13 & HE LET ME GO WITH A WARNING & STRONGLY ADVISED ME TO GET IT FIXED. IT IS NOW TIME FOR MY CAR TO GO THROUGH INSPECTION, & IT WILL NOT PASS WITH THE LIGHTS FLICKERING & GOING COMPLETELY OUT. THE PROBLEM HAS ONLY CONTINUED GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT THE HEADLIGHT ARE GOING COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING DURING HOURS WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE NEEDED. I HAVE LOST MY POWER STEERING MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER STARTING MY CAR AND BEGAN DRIVING, WITH A BRAND NEW BATTERY INSTALLED BY A MECHANIC, & WHEN I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF MY WORK OFFICE & HAVE HAD TO TRY PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE TO LOSING POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. IT IS TIME FOR ACTION TO BE TAKEN & THIS BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED, GMC CAN RECALL FOR THE SAME COMPUTER SYSTEM UPGRADE THAT IS NEEDED FOR MY MAZDA 3, BUT HAVE ONLY BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, WHICH I HAVE GOTTEN QUOTES FROM SEVERAL MAZDA DEALERS OVER THE SEVERAL YEARS I HAVE OWNED & CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE AND IT WILL COST ME OVER $500 TO HAVE REPAIRED!! DUE TO NOT HAVING THE MONEY TO AFFORD TO COMPUTER UPGRADE WHICH I CONSIDER A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE MAZDA'S PROBLEM TO FIX BEFORE THEY HAVE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST THEM, BECAUSE SOMEONE DRIVING A MAZDA 3 GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR SERIOUS INJURE SOMEONE ELSE!

TAKATA RECALL I AM TRYING TO SEE IF MY 2012 MAZDA 3 HATCHBACK IS PART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. SO FAR ALL I HAVE RECEIVED IS A NOTICE THAT I MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO TAKE PART IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN FLORIDA.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN NO ONE IS IN SEAT,MANY PICTURE AND GAVE TO DEALER AND NOW THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE SEAT,THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ,MANY PICTURES AND VIDEOS SENT TO DEALER.THIS HAS BE GOING ON SINCE JAN 2017 TO PRESENT.ALL THIS HAPPENS JUST AFTER THE CAR IS STARTED AND AIRBAG SYSTEM DOES SELF TEST.

MY HEADLIGHT HOUSING HAS CONDENSATION AND THAT IN TURN HAS CAUSED MY HID LIGHTS TO FAIL. I HAVE READ OVER AN OVER THAT MAZDA'S FROM 2010-2011 HAVE THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. WHY DO THEY NOT TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY. I WAS TOLD BY A MAZDA IN LEXINGTON, KY THAT THIS WOULD COST ME IN EXCESS OF $600.00 TO REPLACE. WHY DOES THIS STILL CONTINUE TO BE A PROBLEM. ANYTIME IT RAINS THERE IS MORE CONDENSATION BUILD UP. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS AFFECTED FIRST NOW IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE DRIVER SIDE IS STARTING TO HAVE BUILD UP OF CONDENSATION, WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY CAUSE A FAILURE WITH THE HID. SO INSTEAD DRIVING WITH ONE HEADLIGHT AND FOG LIGHTS (WHICH THE FOG LIGHTS HELP) I WILL HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS.
