2010 MAZDA MAZDA6 Complaints

DOOR LATCH MOUNTING SCREWS GONE AND NOT ALLOWING TO ENGAGE WITH THE LATCH MECHANISM. DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE SHUT. DOOR OPENED WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. KNOWN RECALL NO. 7013I

DASH ON PASSENGER SIDE IS MELTING. STICKY FILM ALL OVER DASH. I HAVE READ THAT OTHER MAZDA 6 CARS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE PICTURES I CAN SEND

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER STARTED TO LOOK SHINY. WE TOOK A CLOTHE TO WIPE IT OFF AND THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND ACTUALLY PEELED AND RIPPED WHEN WE TRIED TO WIPE IT. THE CONDITIONING IS SPREADING AND IS VERY STICKY. AT CERTAIN TIMES OF DAY THE GLARE FROM THE SHINEY DASHBOARD REFLECTS OFF THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD.

THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS MELTING AND STICKY TO TOUCH. THE REFLECTION FROM THE MELTING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD PICTURES TAKEN OF THE PROBLEM. ALL THEY SAID TO WAIT FOR A LETTER AND THE PART IS NOT IN. IT HAS BEEN 7 MONTHS SINCE I FIRST REPORTED IT.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2010 MAZDA 6 KEEPS GOING OUT. I'VE REPLACED EACH LIGHT AT LEAST TWICE IN THE PAST 4 YEARS. WHILE I WAS DRIVING LAST NIGHT, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. I THINK MAZDA KNOW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE BUT INSTEAD OF FIXING THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM, THEY KEEP CHARGING ME $60 FOR EACH HEADLIGHT BULB.

DASH CRASH PAD IS MELTING, CAUSING A GLARE AND POOR VISIBILITY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE DASH IS TURNING INTO A LIQUID AND RUNNING DOWN THE DASH. ALSO SMELLS LIKE IT IS "OFF GASSING."

THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2010 MAZDA 6 IS MELTING INTO A STICKY, SHINY SUBSTANCE WITH A TAR-LIKE APPEARANCE. IN SUNNY WEATHER THE REFLECTIONS CREATED BY THE METED DASHBOARD SEVERELY AFFECT MY VISIBILITY OUT OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD. WHEN TAKING RIGHT-HAND TURNS I OFTEN NEED TO CRANE MY NECK TO SEE AROUND THE BRIGHT REFLECTIONS CREATED ON MY WINDSHIELD FROM THE AFFECTED DASHBOARD MATERIAL, WHICH IS ABOUT 1 SQUARE FOOT IN SIZE. I HAVE TROUBLE SEEING PEDESTRIANS COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR DUE TO THE REFLECTIONS. I HAVE TRIED TO CLEAN OFF THE STICKY MATERIAL TO NO AVAIL. THIS SAFETY ISSUE IS MAKING ME FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, BOTH ON THE ROAD, HIGHWAY, OR EVEN IN A PARKING LOT.

FOR MANY YEARS AND I'VE RUN INTO A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH MY CURRENT 2010 MAZDA 6. OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER MULTIPLE TIMES, WHICH I'M TO UNDERSTAND FROM THE MECHANICS IS "EXTREMELY UNLUCKY", HOWEVER I FEEL THERE IS ANOTHER UNDERLYING ISSUES. ATTACHED IS THE BRIEF TIMELINE OF THE INCIDENTS BASED ON THE PAPERWORK. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR POWERED DOWN THE CAR HAS 'MUSHY BRAKES' WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL "COLLAPSING" TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE APPLIED PRESSURE. AS YOU CAN SEE I HAVE HAD THREE PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED, WHICH WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE WAS NOT EVEN CONSIDERED UNTIL A MECHANIC FRIEND OF MINE SUGGESTED THEY LOOK AT THE MASTER CYLINDER AS THE ROOT CAUSE, WHICH WAS LOOKED AT ON INSPECTION #3 THROUGH CHECKING OF CODES AND NOT FINALLY ADDRESSED UNTIL INSPECTION #4. I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL PARTS PROBLEM THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY MAZDA, WHICH COULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SERIOUS LIABILITY CONCERNS FOR THE COMPANY SHOULD THERE BE ANY FURTHER DEFECTIVE PARTS MANUFACTURED AND INSTALLED. I AM COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT AS I HAVE NOT HEARD ONE COMMENT OR STATEMENT FROM GALLO MAZDA ABOUT CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER OR MAZDA CORPORATE ABOUT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. AS OF THIS DATE, THE CAR IS STILL HAVING THE "MUSHY BRAKE" FEEL, WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL "COLLAPSING" TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE PRESSURE AND I BELIEVE THE RECENTLY REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER HAS BEGUN TO FAIL. THE CAR WILL BE RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I CONSIDER IT UNFAIR AND UNETHICAL TO PAY FOR SAFETY/MANUFACTURING ISSUES THAT MAZDA SHOULD ADDRESS, NOT ME AS THE CUSTOMER.

I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY HEAD LIGHTS ON MY 2010 MAZDA 6. MY HEAD LIGHTS WENT OUT IN NOVEMBER 2013 AND I'VE CHANGED THE HEAD LIGHTS OUT THREE TIMES SINCE WITHIN A 2 YEAR TIME FRAME. I'M USING THE EXPENSIVE SYLVANIA H7 SILVER STAR ZXE HEAD LIGHT BULBS AND THEY'RE BURNING OUT. ALSO THE SEAL AROUND THE HEAD LIGHTS AREN'T SECURE BECAUSE WATER AND CONDENSATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THE CAR TAKE TURNS GOING OUT FOR SOME REASON. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR FIVE YEARS, BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT BULBS AT LEAST 8 TIMES. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER REVIEW ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IF WE TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT THAT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. SECOND ISSUE: EVERY WINTER WHEN IT GETS COLDER THE CARS ELECTRONIC SYSTEM SEEMS TO RUN MUCH SLOWER AND THE BLUE TOOTH, CD PLAYER, ETC. WILL NOT CONNECT AND THERE HAS BEE THREE INSTANCES WHERE THE CAR WILL MAKE A LOUD POPPING NOISE WHILE IT IS IN MOTION AND THE WHOLE STEREO SYSTEM, BLUE TOOTH, DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL POWER OFF AND I'LL HAVE TO RESET UP THE BLUE TOOTH.
