2010 MAZDA MAZDA6 Complaints

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE AND THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN A MINUTE THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. AFTER INSPECTED BY A TIRE DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TPMS CORRODED AND THE NUT CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THE TPMS FELL INTO THE TIRE CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE FLAT TIRE. WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE DEFECTIVE TPMS AND MAZDA DOES NOT HAVE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PART. THE PART WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW RUBBER TPMS.[ORIGINAL MADE OF METAL] THIS IS AN OBVIOUS CONCERN IF MAZDA IS NOW REPLACING THE PART WITH A NEW MATERIAL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS A MAJOR ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. LUCKILY, THE INCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR INJURIES. NOW THERE IS A CONCERN FOR THE OTHER THREE TPMS WHICH ARE ALSO CORRODED AND THE SAME ISSUE CAN HAPPEN. MAZDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL SINCE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY INFANT AND TODDLER UNTIL ALL TPMS ARE REPLACED WITH THE NEW TPMS DESIGN. *TR

THE BRAKE ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE NEED MACHINING EACH YEAR DUE TO GRABBING. MY MAZDA DEALERSHIP HAS MACHINED THEM AFTER THE FIRST YEAR AND REPLACED THEM UNDER WARRANTY AT 30K. THE REPLACEMENT ROTORS ARE TO BE MACHINED AGAIN ON 4/26/14. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL DURING BRAKING. *TR

MY SON TOOK MY CAR TO SCHOOL. HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE AFTER SCHOOL LET OUT, HE WAS GOING TO GIVE HIS FRIEND A RIDE HOME. THIS IS A 6 SPEED CAR. HIS FRIEND GOT IN THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, MY SON WAS TALKING TO HIS BROTHER, HE WAS NOT IN THE CAR. MY SON HAD PUT THE KEYS ON THE DRIVER SEAT, HIS FRIEND PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURNED THE KEY TO ACCESSORIES TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO, THE CAR HAD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, AND IT WAS IN FIRST GEAR. WHEN HE TURNED THE KEY TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO THE CAR TOOK OFF!!!! I AM NOT SURE HOW FAST IT WAS GOING BUT IT CRASHED INTO A TREE AND STOPPED. THERE WAS NO DRIVER!! THERE IS A POLICE REPORT ON THIS, AND THERE WERE SEVERAL WITNESSES. MY SON'S FRIEND HIT HIS HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IT CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD. I CONTACTED MAZDA HEADQUARTERS TO MAKE THEM AWARE, AND THEY SEEMED BOTHERED THAT I EVEN CALLED!!!!! IT IS A MIRACLE A KID WAS NOT WALKING BY AND WAS STRUCK BY THIS OUT OF CONTROL CAR. *TR

WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO RAISE IN TEMPERATURE AND A/C WOULD SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY SAW THE VEHICLE HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

JUST PURCHASED AN USED 2010 MAZDA 6 AND THE PASSENGER LOW-BEAM HEADLAMP IS "OUT" UNTIL YOU GIVE IT A NICE FRIENDLY TAP. THIS AT ONLY 29,300 MILES. WENT OUT AGAIN 9 DAYS LATER AND THE TAP IS NOT WORKING. WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS LINK WITH OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UQQPERRESA8. *TR

MY CAR WAS PARKED, WENT INSIDE STORE FOR A MINUTE, CAME OUT AND IT WOULDN'T START. NO LIGHTS PRIOR, AND I TAKE METICULOUS CARE OF MY CAR. AFTER A FAILED JUMP, TOW WAS ISSUED. THE MECHANIC SAYS IT'S A STARTER FAILURE- AT 42,000 MILES ON A BRAND NEW FACTORY LINE CAR. NOW MAZDA WILL NOT RESPOND TO COMPLAINTS, AND ATTEMPTS AT REACHING ANY SUPERVISORS HAVE BEEN NEGATED. CAR HAS BEEN IMMOBILE FOR OVER TWO WEEKS. 42,000 IS A PREMATURE FAILURE FOR A BRAND NEW FACTORY PART- AND THE CAR COMPANY SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PORTION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AFTER LESS THEN 30K MILES. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO SHIMMY WHEN BRAKING AT ANY APPRECIABLE SPEED (ANY SPEED OVER 40MPH). TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AS IT IS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". CALLED MAZDA AND THEY TOO REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER THE WARRANTY.

BOTH REAR TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS FAILED DUE TO EITHER OVER-TIGHTENING OR CORROSION. BOTH SENSORS SNAPPED OFF RIGHT BELOW THE SENSOR STEM CAP CAUSING BOTH REAR TIRES TO DEFLATE. ON A NEWER CAR STILL UNDER WARRANTY, MAZDA CLAIMS SENSORS ARE ONLY COVERED UNTIL 36000 MILES. AND THEY'RE NOT CHEAP EITHER ($80 EACH, NOT INCLUDING INSTALLATION.) *TR
