2006 MAZDA MAZDA5 Complaints

AT 62,000 MILES HAD A NOISE IN THE REAR. TOOK IT TO DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS THE SHOCKS. THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF SHOCKS THAT HAVE BROKEN. MAZDA WAS GOOD ABOUT IT AND WILL COVER MOST OF THE COST. DEALER STATED THAT THEY SEE THIS A LOT AND THAT MAZDA HAS RESIGNED THE SHOCKS SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE GOING FORWARD. THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE OF THIS REDESIGN SO IT WILL BE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THEY COME IN. *TR

1. PURCHASE VEHICLE USED IN 2009 WITH 170,000 KMS 2. SINCE DAY ONE, HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH DOOR LATCHES / LOCK AND UNLOCK - HAPPENS ON RANDOM OCCASSIONS AND ESPECIALLY IN COLD/ WET OR HUMID CONDITIONS. ON SEVERAL OCCASSIONS I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCK / UNLOCK THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS USING THE KEYFOB OR THE INTERIOR VEHICLE SWITCHES, (I HAVE TO UNLOCK/LOCK THE REAR VEHICLE DOORS MANUALLY). 2. TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN (WHILE DRIVING) AS IT DID NOT LATCHED CLOSED. THE RIGHT SIDE REAR SLIDING DOOR STILL WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED......THOUGHT IT WAS FROZEN, BUT DEALER SAYS NO - NOT FROZEN - IT'S A FAULTY PART / SWITCH CAUSING ISSUE. 3. ASKED DEALER ABOUT RECALL INFO - THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL SERVICE FOR THAT DOOR LATCH PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER.....THEREFORE, THIS ISSUE WILL BE MY PROBLEM TO PAY FOR (OUT OF WARRANTY). 3. INTERMITENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKER AT TIMES. GAS DOOR POPS OPEN FOR NO REASON, AND AT TIME WILL NOT STAY CLOSED OR WILL NOT OPEN. 4. UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 9 MONTHS AND THE TIRES ARE ALREADY BALD ON THE INSIDES ONLY. VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT HAS A VIBRATION OR SUSPENSION PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE, BUT THE DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING IS WRONG, NO PROBLEM AND ALIGNMENT IS FINE? THEY BLAIM IT ON MY TIRES OR MY DRIVING. BUT, I HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTINGS ABOUT THESE SAME ISSUES. *TR
