2006 MAZDA MAZDA5 Complaints

I AM THE OWNER OF A MAZDA5- MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I PARKED MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND ENGAGED THE BRAKE. MY DAUGHTER RE-ENTERED THE CAR ABOUT 1 HOUR LATER, AS SHE GOT IN THE CAR AND SAT DOWN SHE FELT IT MOVE AND HOPPED OUT. THE CAR ROLLED DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY HIT A TREE WITH THE DOOR STILL OPEN AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR. I AM NOT SURE IF THE BRAKE WAS COMPLETELY ENGAGED OR IT JUST FAILED. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE ACCIDENT. THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED IN THE PHOTO. THE ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE RIGHT SIDE AND DOOR WERE MANGLED BY THE TREE. THE BACK BUMPER WAS DAMAGED BY INPACT TO A PARKED CAR IN MY NEIGHBORS YARD. *NM

WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGINE DIES. VEHICLE IS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WILL NOT START. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER, BUT TECHS HAVE ALREADY LEFT FOR THE DAY. VEHICLE IS LEFT AT THE DEALER OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT DAY, I AM INFORMED THAT PROBLEM IS BAD PCM. MODULE NEEDS TO BE SHIPPED OVERNIGHT. INCIDENT HAPPENED THURSDAY. PART WON'T ARRIVE UNTIL SATURDAY, SO VEHICLE WON'T BE READY UNTIL MONDAY. IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *NM

PURCHASED VEHICLE ON 02/10/2006-VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 3K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION CASING DID NOT SEAL CORRECTLY AND THAT IS THE REASON VEHICLE WAS LEAKING AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION ON VEHICLE. *NM

VEHICLE -2006 MAZDA 3- WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR ENDER TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER'S SEAT FAILED TO MAINTAIN ITS HEIGHT POSITION CAUSING THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO DROP ABRUPTLY.*JB

PURCHASED A NEW MAZDA5 CAR FROM BROWNING MAZDA IN CERRITOS, CALIFORNIA. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WE RECEIVED A VOLUNTARY RECALL NOTICE FROM MAZDA, REQUESTING THAT WE BRING OUR CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PARK IT "FOR UP TO 30 DAYS" WHILE MAZDA FIGURED OUT HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. CARS WERE CATCHING ON FIRE WHEN DRIVEN AT 60 MPH IN 2ND GEAR FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME, WITH THE PROBLEM BEING WITH THE REAR MUFFLER OVERHEATING AND CATCHING FIRE. WE TOOK OUR CAR IN, AND GOT A FREE LOANER FROM ENTERPRISE RENTAL CARS. BUT AS NO MORE INFO WAS RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER REGARDING HOW MUCH LONGER WE WOULD BE WITHOUT OUR CAR, AFTER A MONTH AND SOME WEEKS WE RETRIEVED OUR CAR AND DROVE IT HOME. THIS WAS TWO WEEKS AGO, AND WE HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATION FROM MAZDA, AS WE WERE PROMISED, TO BRING IT IN FOR THE RECALL KIT TO BE INSTALLED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT, THEY SAID SOME CARS HAD BEEN FIXED, AND THAT HE WOULD CALL ME IF THE SPECIFIC KIT FOR MY CAR CAME IN, SO THAT I COULD BRING IT IN AGAIN. IT STILL HAS NOT HAPPENED. *NM

MAZDA DEALER SOLD ME A MAZDA 5 THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SOLD. DEALER HAS PUT ME AT RISK AND MISINFORMED THE NHTSA ABOUT SUSPENDING SALES!!! *NM
