THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

SINCE I HAVE OWNED CAR, GRADUAL DETERIORATION OF INTERIOR COMPONENTS TO INCLUDE SAFETY ITEM; CRACKED REAR-VIEW MIRROR, CEILING SUNGLASSES HOLDER (BLOCKS REAR-VIEW MIRROR, CHANGE HOLDER (HIT EVERY TIME GET INTO CAR), SEAT TRACK COVER (DANGER OF PUTTING FINGER INSIDE), AND STEERING WHEEL PLASTIC LOOSE. I HAVE IMAGES OF THE REMAINING ITEMS, ALTHOUGH FILE SIZE PREVENTED UPLOAD AND CAN SEND UNDER SEPARATE COVER.

2010 MAZDA 6 ISPORT PASSENGER DASHBOARD CRASH PAD HAS BEEN MELTING PROGRESSIVELY FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS. ONLY BEGAN NOTICING THE DASH MELTING UPON MY MOVE TO HAWAII, SO I ASSUME IT IS A RESULT OF SUBPAR PARTS AND THE HOT/HUMID CLIMATE. THIS APPEARS TO BE COMMON WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL, BASED ON RESEARCH INTO THE ISSUE.

THE AIRBAG COVER STARTED OUT JUST BEING STICKY TO THE TOUCH. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS IT HAD BEEN PROGRESSIVELY WORST TO THE POINT THAT IT IS EXTREMELY STICKY, SHINY, AND IF YOU TRY TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE INSIDE THE PAPER STICKS TO THE DASH. I TRIED TO GET THE PAPER OFF, BUT PLUGS OF THE DASH COME OFF WHEN I DO. I JUST WANT MAZDA TO STOP DRAGGING THEIR FEET AND MANUFACTURER THE PARTS SO THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS IS SAFE IF THE AIRBAGS WHERE TO BE DEPLOYED. MAZDA HAS SAID IF I WERE INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT IT WOULD BE REPLACED. HOWEVER IT WOULD NOT BE THEM REPLACING IT, IT WOULD BE THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAYING THE COST.

TAKATA RECALL, MY ALARM KEEPS GOING OFF RANDOMLY ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY EACH DAY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS DISCONNECTING MY BATTERY WHILE I'M NOT DRIVING IT WHICH IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG PROTECTOR IS ALSO MELTING. FURTHERMORE, I HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE ROTORS BEFORE 100,000 MILES WAS REACHED BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AT ANY SORT OF BRAKING SPEED

"TAKAO A RECALL". I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THIS RECALL IN JULY OF 2016. IT TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE LOCAL DEALER HAD PARTS TO FIX THE DEFECT. IN JULY OF 2017 I HAD MY CAR AT THE DEALER FOR OTHER REPAIRS AND I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

TAKATA RECALL THERE HAVE BEEN 3 RECALLS WITH THIS VEHICLE I BOUGHT NEW; TAKATA IS 1 OF THE 3: 1. TAKATA AIRBAGS: METAL SHRAPNEL IN AIRBAGS WHEN DEPLOYED, REPORTEDLY 2. DOOR LOCK SCREWS ARE UNSAFE; NEED TO BE CHECKED/REPLACED; 3. DASHBOARD HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO TURNING INTO A STICKY NASTY LOOKING MESS. THE WHOLE RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER SIDE) HAS BECOME SO STICKY THAT DUST, CLOTH, EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT, AND IT CANNOT BE CLEANED. WHAT'S REALLY AWFUL IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR NOW NO LONGER SELLS MAZDAS. THE FIRST 2 SITUATIONS ARE DANGEROUS; & THE 3RD IS HORRIBLY UNSIGHTLY. MAZDA HAS SENT OUT RECALLS FOR ALL 3. WHERE DO I TAKE THIS CAR?
