2010 MAZDA MAZDA3 Complaints

GAS PEDALS IS STICKY WHEN FLOORING IT. IT WILL STAY AT THE MAXIMUM ACCELERATION POSITION FOREVER OR THE GAS PEDALS IS STICK WITH THE FLOOR FOREVER. THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF IT IS TO MANUALLY PULL IT BACK. THE STICKY GAS PEDALS WILL LEAD TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION INCIDENTS. I BELIEVED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH YEAR 2010 MAZDA3 5 DOOR.

THE DASH HAS BEEN MELTING FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS. IN THE SUMMER IT GETS SQUISHY AND HAS STARTED TO FALL APART. USING SUN SHIELD IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE THEY STICK TO THE DASH AND THE DASH MELTS TO THE COVER.

FRONT DASH HAS MELTED CAUSING A DANGEROUS GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. CONCERNED ABOUT TOXICITY INSIDE CAR DUE TO MELTING.

AS WITH MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE REGARDING THE 2010 MAZDA3, MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING CAUSING IT TO BE HIGHLY REFLECTIVE AND EMIT A NOXIOUS ODOR. THIS PROBLEM REDUCES VISIBILITY AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT. FURTHER, THE NOXIOUS ODOR COULD BE HARMFUL AND COULD VERY WELL BE A SAFETY ISSUE OUTSIDE OF THE VISIBILITY ISSUE. MAZDA NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ISSUE A RECALL LIKE TOYOTA HAS ALREADY DONE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA STANDS BY THEIR PRODUCT AND MAZDA DOES NOT.

THE WELD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT, WHICH ATTACHES THE SEAT TO THE SLIDING RAILS, HAS BROKEN. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING AS THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN. THE SEAT IS NOW VERY LOOSE AND IS ROCKING BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE TO HOLD ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE ACCELERATING OR BRAKING TO KEEP FROM TIPPING OVER. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 MAZDA3. YET MAZDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I WENT TO THE MAZDA DEALER AND WAS QUOTED $582 DOLLARS JUST FOR THE PARTS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE LABOR COST. I ALSO WENT TO THE MAZDA WEBSITE AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THREE WEEKS HAVE PASSED AND NO ONE FROM MAZDA HAS CONTACTED ME. ALL I RECEIVED WAS AN AUTOMATED EMAIL SAYING "DUE TO THE UNUSUALLY LARGE NUMBER OF EMAILS RECEIVED OUR RESPONSE TIME MAY BE DELAYED". I DON'T THINK MAZDA WILL EVER RESPOND.

VEHICLE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE RUNNING ON HIGHWAY,INMOVILIZING ALL SYSTEMS. TAKEN TO SHOP SCANNED FOR TROUBLE ,CODE U0100 WAS DETECTED.RECALL FOR WIRING WAS CHECKED WIRING IS OK. REPLACED BURN OUT PARTS TAKEN TO TEST SAME PROBLEM ARISE.

DASHBOARD MELTED COMPLETELY, I AM NOT ABLE TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE FROM THE HOURS OF 10AM - 4:30PM BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE ROAD, THE WINDSHIELD LOOKS COMPLETELY WHITE FROM THE GLARE IN THE DASHBOARD, CONTACTED DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND MAZDA DOESN'T DO ANYTHING!!!!! IMPOSSIBLE TO OPERATE VEHICLE AT REGULAR HOURS!!

WHEN I BOUGHT MY MAZDA 3,, IT SEEMED LIKE A GREAT BUY MONTHS LATER THE DASH STARTED MELTING AWAY, I HAVE CALLED MAZDA AND THEY HAVE NEVER RETURNED MY CALLS OR FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS AS ITS MELTING AND IS WELL OVER 100 DEGREES IN THE CAR, IF ONE OF MY NEPHEWS OR DAUGHTER WAS TO TOUCH IT, THEY COULD VERY WELL BE BURNED SERIOUSLY AS IT IS VERY STICKY AND GOOPY.

DASH COVER MELTING IN HOT SUN. TURNS INTO A STICKY FILM AND REFLECT THE SUN AS YOU ARE DRIVING.

MY DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN TO MELT ALL THE WAY ACROSS. IT IS AWFUL. I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO TILT MY HEAD WHEN DRIVING AS IT CREATES A GLARE THAT IS DIFFICULT AND COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS REALLY HARD ON THE EYES AS WELL. I HAVE TRIED TO USE A SHIELD BUT THE SHIELD STICKS TO THE MELTING DASH AND THEN MAKES FOR AN ADDITIONAL MESS ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN TRYING TO REMOVE BEFORE DRIVING. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. THANK YOU. THIS SHOULD BE PAID AT THE EXPENSE OF MAZDA. CARS HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITHOUT THIS ISSUE IN TEMPERATURES ALL OVER THE WORLD. THIS IS WRONG.
