2010 MAZDA MAZDA3 Complaints

WHEN THE TRUNK OR DOOR IS INADVERTENTLY LEFT OPEN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME THE BATTERY IS TOTALLY DRAINED. THIS COULD LEAVE THE DRIVER STRANDED. IF JUMP STARTED AND BATTERY IS NOT FULLY CHARGED THIS COULD CAUSE INCREASED STRESS ON THE ALTERNATOR WHICH COULD LEAD TO COSTLY REPLACEMENT. *TR

MY DAUGHTER'S 2010 MAZDA3 HAS A DASHBOARD THAT IS MELTING. SHE SAYS THE GLARE FROM IT WHEN DRIVING IS VERY BAD. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND FROM WHAT I AM SEEING REGARDING COMPLAINTS, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AS A RECALL? IT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT? *TR

MY DASHBOARD BEGAN TO MELT, AND HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO SINCE. THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND COLLECTIONS DUST AND GRIM. THE MELTED MATERIAL HAS A GLOSSY SHINE WHICH REFLECTS A BRIGHT GLARE INTO THE DRIVERS EYES AND ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS COSMETICALLY UNATTRACTIVE AND CAUSES A DRIVING HAZARD WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES FILL UP WITH WATER AND CONDENSATION AFTER RAIN SHOWERS OR CAR WASHES. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE TO THESE ASSEMBLIES. *TR

I NOTICED THAT MY DASH BOARD HAS STARTED TO MELT CREATING A VISIBILITY PROBLEMS. IT IS VERY STICKY. *TR

MY MAZDA3 DASHBOARD IS MELTING. I HAVE NEVER USED ANY CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND I'VE RECENTLY BEEN USING A SUNSHADE PROTECTOR BUT THAT DOESN'T NOT SEEM TO BE HELPING. THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD AFFECTS MY VISION OF THE ROAD. I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO CLEAN MY WINDSHIELD WITH MILD DISH SOAP BECAUSE THE RESIDUE TRANSFER FROM MY SUNSHADE ONTO MY WINDSHIELD. THE COST OF REPLACING MY DASHBOARD IS NOT INCLUDED IN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PACKAGE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO MY MAZDA DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1,200.00 TO REPLACE THIS PROBLEM. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE? *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING ON THE MOUND ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, IN DIRECT LINE OF VIEW OF ROAD AND CONTINUES TO SPREAD. STICKY GLUE TYPE TEXTURE THAT NEVER DRIES. UNABLE TO PUT A SUN BLOCKER IN THE VEHICLE TO CONTAIN THE SPREADING ISSUE AND WHILE DRIVING IT CREATES GLARE. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST YEAR. THE GLARE THIS CAUSES ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKES IT HARD TO SEE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AWAY, VERY STICKY AND VERY SHINY CAUSING THE SUN TO IMPAIR VISION AS I'M DRIVING. *TR

THE DASHBOARD OF MY MAZDA3 SEEMS TO BE MELTING. THE BRIGHT SHINY PLASTIC IS CREATING A GLARE THAT HINDERS MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. THE PLASTIC IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH. ALSO, WHEN MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR AWHILE DURING THE DAY IT SMELLS OF MELTED PLASTIC WHEN YOU GET BACK INTO IT. *TR
