I CRASH MY CAR MAZDA 3 MODEL, I FLIP THE CAR FIVE TIMES AND NON OF THE AIRBAGS OPEN, THE CAR HAS CRASHED IN ALL SITES VERY BADLY. I INJURED MY HEAD AND SPINE AND I HAD INTERNAL BLEEDING ON MY LEFT EYE. I WANT FROM YOUR COMPANY TO GIVE ME ADVISE YOU MIGHT NEED PICTURES OF THE CAR. THE ACCIDENT WAS IN EUROPE LAST JULY 2007. THANK YOU. *TR

THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACIDENT, AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. THE CAR, A MAZDA 3 HATCHBACK GRAND TOURING HAS AN ONGOING BRAKE DEFECT. THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS BECAME WARPED AROUND 17,000 MILES. I "PAID" $300.00 TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED AND PURCHASED NEW BRAKE PADS AND HAD THEM INSTALLED. ACCORDING TO MAZDA IT WAS MY FAULT DUE TO "HEAVY BRAKING" AND THERE IS NO WAY MAZDA BRAKE ROTORS ARE FAULTY, AND IT IS NOT A WARRANTIED ITEM. THREE MONTHS AND 7,000 MILES LATER THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS ARE WARPED AGAIN AND HAVE BECOME A BLUEISH-BLACK DUE TO EXTREMLEY HIGH TEMPERATURES, THE REAR DISCS HAVE THE SAME DISCORLOATION DUE TO EXTREME HIGH TEMPS AND ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF HEAVY BREAKING EXCEPT THE DISCOLORATION. THE NEW PADS I HAD INSTALLED AT 17,000 MILES STILL LOOKED NEW, THIS ILLUSTRATES I AM" NOT" A "HEAVY BREAKER" AND THERE IS A DEFECT. THIS TIME MAZDA DID NOT PUT THE BLAME ON ME FOR "HEAVY BREAKING" NOR DID THEY TAKE RESPONSBILITY. MAZDA SAID IF I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE BRAKES WOULD JUST "LOCK UP" DURING BRAKING THEY'D CONSIDER IT A FAULTY PART AND REPLACE IT. APPARENTLY I MUST BE PUT IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, LIFE THREATENING SITUATION BEFORE MAZDA WILL REPLACE ANY PARTS. AFTER MAZDA TOLD ME THIS I'VE BECOME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE IDEA OF DRIVING THIS CAR AND I'M AFRAID THE BRAKES COULD LOCK UP ON ME AT ANYTIME OR JUST QUIT WORKING. MAZDA ALSO TOLD ME "THIS IS NOT A WARRANTIED ITEM" AND IF I HAVE ANY PROBLEMS I NEED TO TAKE IT UP WITH THE "CORPORATE OFFICE" AND GAVE ME THE NUMBER. I HAVENT CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE YET I'M PRETTY SURE THEY'LL BLAME ME AND TELL ME ALOT CRAP I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU THE NHTSA DEAL WITH THEESE PROBLEMS, PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED OF ANY PROGRESS MADE. *TR

GAS TANK PUNCTURE WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. PUNCTURE IS PINHOLE SIZE. THE ONLY EVENT LEADING TO THIS WAS BRAKING HARD TO AVOID A DEER. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT, NO OTHER DAMAGE TO UNDERCARRIAGE, BASICALLY NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING EXCEPT A SMALL HOLE IN THE TANK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA 3. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE XENON HEADLIGHTS PROVIDED POOR VISIBILITY. THE 12 VOLT,35 WATT LIGHTS DO NOT REFLECT THE EYES OF ANIMALS AND, AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE A DEER RUNNING ACROSS TWO LANES BEFORE IT STRUCK HER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED $800 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE LOW BEAMS WERE ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 13,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000. UPDATED 12/12/2007 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND DEALER ADJUSTED LIGHTS BUT STILL POOR VISIBILITY. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS. UPDATED 12/12/07 *TR

I WAS REAR ENDED BY A CITY TRANSIT BUS GOING APPROX. 30MPH. AT THE POINT OF IMPACT MY SEAT DISLODGED FROM IT'S POSITION AND FLEW BACK TO THE FURTHEST POSITION, THEN LOCKING IN PLACE. I WAS UNABLE TO HIT THE BRAKES - THEREFORE, PUSHING ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OF WHICH I REAR ENDED. MY BRAND NEW CAR WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. I DID SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE CAR I REAR ENDED. THE AIRBAGS ALSO FAILED TO DEPLOY. *TR
