2015 MAZDA MAZDA3 Complaints

SAFETY RECALL 1217F RECEIVED 8/2017. TO DATE "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." THIS TIME (NOW 6 MONTHS) SEEMS TO BE AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF WAIT TIME FOR THE PARTS TO BE RECEIVED BY MY MAZDA DEALER. WHAT IN YOUR VIEW IS "A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME"?

NOTIFIED OF RECALL 8/19/17 WENT TO DEALER 10/24/17 DEALER STILL STATES THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS. WISH TO SELL CAR BUT MUST HAVE REPAIR DONE FIRST. STILL CONTINUING TO DRIVE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA 3. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR CUTS, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER (SPORT MAZDA, 9786 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32837), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND APPROVED THE REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 100000 BECAUSE OF BEARING IN THE TRANSMISSION. NOW TRANSMISSION MAKING THE SAME NOISE OF 111,000 MILES AFTER BEING REPLACED. MAZDA WAS PURCHASED AT PAUL MILLER MAZDA LEXINGTON KENTUCKY. TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BECAME NOTICEABLE WHILE IN MOTION IT STARTS WITH A LOW NOISE AND THE AIR IS THE BEARING GETS USED MORE AND MORE FROM DAY TO DAY USES HE GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER SPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS FROM 10 TO 60 MILES AN HOUR IT'S QUITE NOTICEABLE STOPS WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS. WAS INFORMED BY PAUL MILLER MAZDA THIS WAS THE ONLY SECOND ISSUE THEY'VE HAD WITH TRANSMISSIONS AND IT WAS NOT A ROUTE FIX WITHOUT REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY AT PURCHASE OF THE MAZDA AND IT'S A GOOD THING I DID BECAUSE NOW I'M ON MY SECOND TRANSMISSION WITH A 2015 MAZDA WITH 111,000 MILES AND IT'S ALREADY BEEN THROUGH TWO TRANSMISSIONS ONE AT 101,000 AND NOW AGAIN AT 111000 LESS THAN 9000 MILES AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. TRANSMISSION WASN'T A NEW TTHAT WAS PUT IN THE 2015 MAZDA, IT WAS A TRANSMISSION WHICH I WAS TOLD HAD ONLY 8000 MILES BY PAUL MILLER MAZDA AND MILLENNIUM INSURANCE.

WHEN PUSHING START BUTTON ALL LIGHTS GO ON BUT CAR WON'T START. STATIONARY IN DRIVE WAY

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY LEAVING WORK WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG, THEN NOTICED MY SUNROOF HAD A LARGE HOLE IN IT. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE AND TO SEE WHAT COULD HAVE HIT ME, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY IMPACT- WITH BARELY ANY GLASS INSIDE THE CAR. THE BREAK LOOKS LIKE IT EXPLODED OUTWARDS.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:17V-393 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER:1217F RECALL ISSUED JUNE 22, 2017 NO MANUFACTURER FIX AVAILABLE, YET AS OF OCTOBER 27, 2017 SUMMARY ON THE MECHANICAL (CABLE) TYPE PARKING BRAKE, WATER MAY ENTER THE BRAKE CALIPER DUE TO INAPPROPRIATE SEALING PERFORMANCE OF THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER PROTECTIVE BOOT, PARTICULARLY UNDER LOW TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS, AND THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR SHAFT, WHICH IS THE COMPONENT OF REAR BRAKE CALIPER, MAY BE RUSTED. SAFETY RISK DESCRPITION IF THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE USED WITH SUCH CONDITION, THE RUST MAY PROGRESS, INCREASING THE SLIDING RESISTANCE OF THE ACTUATOR SHAFT. IN EXTREME CASES, THE RUSTED ACTUATOR SHAFT MAY GET STUCK IN THE BRAKE CALIPER BODY, CAUSING BRAKE DRAGGING WHILE DRIVING AND DECREASING THE PARKING BRAKE HOLDING FORCE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT OF VEHICLE IF PARKED ON A SLOPE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A COLLISION. REMEDY YOUR MAZDA DEALER WILL CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR SHAFTS INSIDE THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR BRAKE CALIPERS. IF THE ACTUATOR SHAFT IS FOUND TO BE RUSTED, THE BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH A MODIFIED ONE.
