2010 MAZDA MAZDA6 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL REGARDING: MAZDA RECALL #: 9516E NHTSA RECALL #: 16V-356 RECALL DATE MAY 27, 2016 THE STATUS AS OF MARCH 7, 2017, IS THAT A REMEDY TO REPAIR IS NOT AVAILABLE. MAZDA'S RECALL INFORMATION ON ITS WEBSITE STATES, AND I'M PARAPHRASING, THAT WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT' BEEN ALMOST TEN MONTHS, WHEN IS THIS REMEDY FORTHCOMING? AM I REALLY NOT SUPPOSED TO CARRY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY PASSENGER CAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW? ARE THERE ANY OTHER FINANCIAL OR MECHANICAL REMEDIES AVAILABLE? THE CONSTRAINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CARRY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT RESULTS IN THIS PERSONAL PASSENGER VEHICLE BEING USELESS IN MANY SITUATIONS IT WAS PURCHASED FOR. CAN YOU DIRECT ME WITH ANY ALTERNATIVES THAT I CAN PURSUE?

TAKATA RECALL-WE BOUGHT A MAZDA 6 GRAN TOURING CAR IN 2010, VIN# [XXX]. IT CURRENTLY HAS ONLY 65,060 MILES. ON JULY 2016 WE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MAZDA CORP. DECIDED THAT A PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR DEFECT EXISTS IN OUR CAR AND THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ESPECIALLY FOR CARS IN CENTRAL FLORIDA BECAUSE OF CONSISTENT HIGH HUMIDITY. IN AUGUST WE TOOK THE CAR TO JENKINS MAZDA IN OCALA WHERE WE BOUGHT IT. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD TRY TO EXPEDITE THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.IN SEPTEMBER THE REPLACEMENT STILL HAD NOT COME SO THEY ASKED US TO STORE THE CAR WITH THEM. OUR CAR WAS THERE AT THE JENKINS MAZDA CAR LOT FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS. WE DID NOT USE THE CAR BECAUSE WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. AAA CAME TO THE HOUSE AND TESTED THE BATTERY AND THEY CONCLUDED THAT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT USED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, WE NOTICED THAT THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WAS GIVING A MESSAGE ?A PROGRAM CANNOT BE READ. PLEASE CONSULT DEALER.? WE CALLED [XXX] AND THEY SAID COMEBACK AND WHILE REPLACING THE AIR BAG PART THEY WOULD FIX THE NAVIGATION SCREEN.ON JANUARY 17 2017 THE PART WAS REPLACED, BUT THEY COULDN?T FIX THE NAVIGATION SCREEN. THEY THEN SAID THAT THEY WOULD TALK TO THEIR SERVICE REP IN JACKSONVILLE ABOUT IT.ON FEBRUARY 10 AFTER TRADING MANY PHONE CALLS WITH THE [XXX] SERVICE MGR. IN OCALA, HE SAID THAT AFTER TALKING TO HIS SERVICE REP IN JACKSONVILLE THE REP FELT THE SCREEN IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY WOULDN?T REPAIR IT BUT INSTEAD PUT A NEW ONE IN FOR $5500. I FEEL THAT THE WHOLE SITUATION STARTED WITH MAZDA?S DEFECTIVE AIR BAG AND THE CAR BEING UNUSED AND INACTIVE FOR ALMOST 4 MONTHS SITTING ON THE [XXX] MAZDA LOT IN OCALA. A NEW BATTERY HAD TO BE INSTALLED BECAUSE THE CAR SAT ON THEIR LOT A LONG TIME [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA INFLATORS. WE ARE A ONE CAR FAMILY AND OUR MAZDA AIRBAG WAS SLATED TO BE REPAIRED IN NOVEMBER BUT WE STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY INFO WHEN THE PARTS ARE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE. WE COULDN'T EVEN TAKE OUR CAR ON OUR HONEYMOON IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR. I KNOW OF OTHER COMPANIES SUCH AS HONDA WHO ARE RENTING CARS FOR THERE CUSTOMERS AND MAZDA ISN'T EVEN REACHING OUT TO OUR FAMILY BUT THEY ARE STILL TAKING OUR MONTHLY PAYMENT. I KNOW WE AREN'T THE ONLY FAMILY AFFECTED BY THIS BUT THIS IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG AND INCONVENIENCING US IN A BAD WAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. WE ARE CONCERNED AND FRUSTRATED BY THE LACK OF ANSWERS.

PASSENGER DASHBOARD MELTING, EXTREMELY STICKY, LACK OF PARTS FROM MAZDA TO REPLACE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT LAMPS WORK INCONSISTENTLY. THEY STOPPED WORKING WHEN VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND TURNED OFF. THEY WORKED WHEN I LAST USED CAR, BUT STOPPED WORKING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER 3.5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, AND MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO COLD WEATHER. SEVERAL FIRM RAPS ON THE LENS SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, BUT MANY PEOPLE WONT KNOW ABOUT THIS AND WILL TAKE CAR IN FOR SERVICING BY MAZDA BECAUSE REPLACING LAMP REQUIRES YOU TO REMOVE WHEEL AND WHEEL WELL IN ORDER TO GET ACCESS TO THE LAMP. A DISHONEST MAZDA DEALERSHIP WOULD MAKE LOTS OF MONEY ON THIS! MANY PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUE AS DOCUMENTED IN THE COMMENTS IN THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO - HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UQQPERRESA8

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG COVER HAS A CRACK GOING OVER THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. IT WAS NOT THERE ONE DAY, AND THE NEXT DAY IT HAD A HUGE CRACK IN IT,AFTER A VERY GOOD WINTER NIGHT. THE CRACK,IS GETTING WIDER. I'M AFRAID THE AIR BAG IS GOING TO,DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. *TR
