2010 MAZDA MAZDA3 Complaints

DASHBOARD GETTING VERY SOFT IN THE SUN. ALWAYS REMAINS STICKY AND CONTINUES TO LEAVE RESIDUE ON THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING GLARE. *TR

THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS BECAME CORRODED. ONE BROKE OFF DURING GETTING NEW TIRES INSTALLED, THE SECOND HAPPENED WHILE I WAS FILLING THE TIRE WITH AIR. IT JUST FELL APART IN MY HAND. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. IT IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND SHINY. THE SHINY AREAS REFLECT SUNLIGHT AND CAUSE DIFFICULTY SEEING OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS IT IS AN OBVIOUS MATERIAL DEFECT! *TR

ALL FOUR WHEELS ARE RUSTING. RUST IS SO BAD THAT A FLAT TIRE CANNOT BE CHANGED, THE WHEELS ARE RUSTED COMPLETELY TO THE AXLES. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN EXPOSED TO SALT WATER AND WAS PURCHASED NEW. *TR

DASHBOARD MELTED DUE TO SUN EXPOSURE - DASHBOARD HAD TO REPLACED DUE TO GLARE ON WINDSHIELD. *TR

2010 MAZDA 3 DASH PANEL/DASHBOARD (P/N: BBM460400H02) IS MELTING. THE DASH PANEL SOFT-TOUCH COATING MATERIAL FIRST TURNED STICKY AND EVENTUALLY DISINTEGRATED INTO A VISCOUS SUBSTANCE. SURFACE FINISH TURNED FROM MATTE TO HIGH GLOSS. THE NOW REFLECTIVE DASH SURFACE CAUSES A LARGE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND OBSTRUCTS DRIVER'S VISIBILITY. *TR

THIS CAR MAZDA 3 I PURCHASED IN 2011 AS A 2010 LEFTOVER NEW, AND THE DASH BOARD IS MELTING CREATING EVERYTHING TO STICK TO IT, AND ALSO OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD ON SUNNY DAYS DUE TO THE NATURE OF HOW SHINY IT IS. IT LOOKS LIKE A WET DOWN DASH BUT THE REFLECTION IS CREATING VERY DIFFICULT VIEWING PROBLEMS ON SUNNY DAYS, DUE TO THE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD FROM IT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS BEING LOOKED INTO. *TR

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2010 MAZDA3 HATCHBACK IS MELTING AND STICKY. WHILE DRIVING TOWARDS THE SUN, THE GLARE FROM THE SHINY STICKY AREA REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT. IN FACT, I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE STICKY MELTING DASH AT FIRST, WHAT I NOTICED FIRST WAS THE FACT THAT I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY SEEING OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. I HAVE NOT USED A BUNCH OF CLEANERS ON THE DASH IN THE PAST. I DO USE A SUN SHADE IN THE WINDSHIELD WHEN PARKED. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY MAZDA 3 IS "MELTING". THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY, TACKY TO THE TOUCH AND DEFORMING. THE CAR IS 4.5 YEARS OLD AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER THE ISSUE UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, MY FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED LAST YEAR. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME SHINY IN THE AFFECTED AREA DUE TO THE "MELTING" AND IS REFLECTING THE SUNLIGHT INTO MY EYES DURING DRIVING IN SUNNY WEATHER AND IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. *JS

TOP FRONT DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE MATERIAL IS NOW STICKY AND CAN'T BE CLEANED BECAUSE THE RAG/TOWEL STICKS. WHEN TOUCHED BLACK RESIDUE STICKS TO YOUR HANDS AND WHEN DRIVING THE SUN REFLECTS OFF THE SHINY STICKINESS AND CAUSES A DRIVING HAZARD ON THE WINDSHIELD. *JS
