2010 MAZDA MAZDA6 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: CALLED MAZDA TO HAVE THE ARIBAG RECALL I RCVD REMEDIED BOOK THE APPOINTMENT THEN RECEIVED A CALL MOMENTS LATER THAT NO MAZDA HAS THE PARTS YET TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V356000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN WITH SLIGHT VIBRATION, OR KNOCK THAT CAN BE CAUSED BY EITHER A POTHOLE, BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR SPEED BUMP. I DISCOVERED ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS, IS A SUPER COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL MAZDA 6 (SECOND GENERATION) OWNERS, AND THEY HAVE TO BANG THEIR FISTS ON THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE TO TURN THEM ON. I TRIED THIS METHOD AS WELL, AND IT WORKED FOR ME DESPITE BEING DANGEROUS.

I GOT RECALL NOTICE FROM MAZDA (SAFETY RECALL 9516E) IN THE MONTH OF JULY 2016. MAZDA DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAG YET. CALLED MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY PUSHED ME TO DEALER AND DEALER IS SAYING PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I NEED YOUR HELP TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG ASAP. MAZDA IS NOT BEHAVING RESPONSIBLY.

THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS MADE OF A MATERIAL THAT MELTS DURING HOT SUNNY PERIODS AND TAKES ON A REFLECTIVE SURFACE WHICH ACTS LIKE A MIRROR. WHEN SUNLIGHT HITS THE SURFACE NOT ONLY IS THE SUN REFLECTED OFF THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD BUT IT'S ALSO PROJECTED ONTO THE WINDSHIELD INSTANTLY BLINDING THE DRIVER OF THE RIGHT HALF OF THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD, TURNING THE WHOLE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD INTO YET ANOTHER MIRROR BOUNCING DIRECT SUNLIGHT INTO THE EYES OF THE DRIVER INSTANTLY BLINDING THEM. VISIBILITY IS SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED AND IT BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. ALSO THIS MELTED DASHBOARD IS THE SURFACE OF THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. BEING THAT IT'S DEFECTIVE AND MELTED ONE WOULD BE LED TO BELIEVE THAT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG WOULD ALSO BE EFFECTED OR DEFECTIVE. THE GLARE OFF OF THE AIRBAG / DASHBOARD AND THE PROJECTED LIGHT REFLECTED OFF THE WINDSHIELD IS CONSTANT ALL TIMES WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING. THIS IS NOT JUST DANGEROUS IT'S DEADLY AND A GENUINE HAZZARD TO THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGERS, AND EVERY SINGLE MOTORIST AND THEIR OCCUPANTS THAT PASS BY THE DEFECTED CAR AND EVERY MOTORIST WHO INTERACTS WITH THIS DEFECTIVE MAZDA AND THE BLIND DRIVER. THIS CAN KILL PEOPLE. RECALL THIS DEADLY CAR, FROM THIS POINT FORWARD IF THE RECALL IS NOT MANDATED AND SOMEONE DIES JUST REMEMBER THIS DEPARTMENT COULD HAVE PREVENTED IT.
