2009 MAZDA MAZDA6 Complaints

THE DASHBOARD TO MY 2009 MAZDA 6 IS MELTING. I TRIED GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT THEY SAID THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT MAZDA WHICH I DID TO FILE A REPORT.

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT RANDOMLY GOES OUT THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AT NIGHT WHEN DRIVING. *TR

DASH OF VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER IS BEGINNING TO MELT. IN MELTING, THE DASH NOW HAS A GLOSS APPEAREANCE THAT, IN THE RIGHT LIGHT, CREATES A GLARE WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE OPERATOR TO SEE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, A LOUD BANGING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL RUSTED AND CAUSED THE SUSPENSION TO FAIL. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

MY WIFE COMPLAINED TO ME TODAY WHILE DRIVING THE MAZDA6 THERE WAS A GLARE COMING FROM THE DASH AREA RIGHT OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. SHE TOUCHED IT AND IT WAS A SHINY STICKY DETERIORATION OF THE DASH ITSELF. YOU CANNOT TOUCH OR RUB OUT AS IT STICKS AND LEAVES A BLACK, STICKY GLUE ON YOUR FINGERS. LOOKED IT UP AND THERE ARE A GREAT MANY MAZDA OWNERS THAT SEEM TO SUFFER FROM THIS VERY SAME ISSUE...AND NOBODY IS GETTING SATISFACTION FROM MAZDA. 44K AND THE DASH IS MELTING?????? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD ON THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MELT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE OUTSIDE OF REPLACING THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,344.

2 VALVE STEMS FROM THE TPMS SENSORS ARE LEAKING AIR. THAT PROVOKED AN INSTANT LOSS OF TOTAL AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES !!!! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT SEEMS MAZDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN SB-02-001-12 BUT NOT A RECALL AT THIS TIME (MARCH 4 2015) FROM 4 TPMS SENSORS ON THE 2009 MAZDA 6, TWO (2) OF THEM FAILED ONE DAY AFTER ANOTHER. BOTH SENSORS FAILED AT THE VALVE STEM. HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 SENSORS DUE TO BEING AFRAID THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE COULD HAPPENED AT 60 MILES/H ON THE INTERSTATE. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TPMS SENSORS IS CONTINENTAL AND THEY ALREADY HAVE A DIFFERENT PART # FOR THE SENSOR (CONTINENTAL VDI REDI-SENSOR SE10001HP-AZ). ALSO MAZDA HAS A DIFFERENT PART # FOR THE NEW SENSORS: BBM2-37-140B. I WAS SURPRISED HOW MAZDA DIDN'T ISSUE A RECALL BY NOW. I'VE SEEN PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ON ONLINE FORUMS OR WEBSITES SPECIALIZED IN CAR ISSUES. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING AND CREATING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING. *TR

DRIVING ALONG AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. TEMPERATURES OUTSIDE WAS ABOUT 15 DEGREES. TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE CAR WAS SET TO 70 DEGREES. SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY, I HEARD AN EXPLOSION FROM OVERHEAD AS THE MOONROOF SHATTERED AND BLEW UPWARD AND OUT. AFTER THE INITIAL BLOWOUT, SHARDS OF GLASS FELL IN ON ME INSIDE THE MOVING VEHICLE. *TR
