2009 MAZDA MAZDA6 Complaints

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (USED) I NOTICED THAT MY HEADLIGHT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE WAS DIMMER THAN THE OTHER AND WHILE IS WAS DRIVING, THE LIGHT WOULD GO ON AND OFF, I FIGURED IT JUST NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT IF YOU BUMPED THE LIGHT IT WOULD COME BACK ON AND WORK FOR A FEW DAYS AND AGAIN WOULD GO THROUGH THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN, THIS BECAME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME BECAUSE I WORK AT NIGHT AND WITH THIS ISSUE HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY I FIGURE ID CHANGE THE BULB AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. BULB CHANGED SAME ISSUE CONTINUED, I RESEARCHED THIS ON NUMEROUS SIGHTS TO SEE THAT OTHER MAZDA OWNERS WHERE GOING THRU THE SAME PROBLEM, EDMONDS HAD PEOPLE ON THEIR SIGHT WITH THE SAME ISSUE, HEADLIGHTS ARE ON THE TOP FOR SAFETY IF YOU CANT SEE OR BE SEEN THE WORST CAN HAPPEN. HELP US MAZDA6 OWNERS. *TR

I JUST RECENTLY GOT THIS CAR. I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT. I NOTICED MY DASHBOARD MELTING AND NOW ITS SO BAD THAT THERE IS A GLARE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD. I CANT SEE THROUGH IT AT TIMES. AND THE MATERIAL FROM THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING NOW IN DRIP LINES DOWN THE DASH. IT IS UGLY AND IS RUINING ANYTHING THAT TOUCHES IT. KIDS TRY TO DIG HOLES IN THE DASHBOARD AND I'M SCARED THAT THEY MIGHT TRY TO CONSUME THE GOO THAT COMES OFF THE MELTING SPOT. MY LAWYER HAS INFORMED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I NEED A REPLACEMENT DASHBOARD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING VEHICLE IS ALWAYS PARKED UNDER COVER AND OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT. MANUFACTURERS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING AS A DEFECT. *TR

THE ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD IS GOOEY, STICKY BLACK. IF YOU TOUCH IT GETS ALL OVER YOUR HANDS, AND EVERYTHING WILL STICK TO IT. IT APPEARS TO BE MELTING AWAY. THIS STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO. RECENTLY I NOTICED THE REAR HEADLIGHTS LOOK AS IF THEY ARE WARPED FROM THE INSIDE, AS IF IT WAS A MELTED CANDLE. *TR

DRIVING ON I-94 WEST,NEAR ANN ARBOR, MI. FELT VIBRATION, THEN LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW. MANAGED TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AND CHANGED TIRE. INSPECTED DAMAGED TIRE AND NOTICED VALVE STEM AND SENSOR WERE MISSING. THE NEXT DAY CHECKED THE OTHER TIRES FOR PROPER INFLATION AND WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE THE VALVE CAP FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE,IT BLEW OFF WITH THE CORE STEM AND THE TIRE WENT FLAT. HAD BOTH TIRES REPAIRED,NEW SENSORS AND TIRE. I HAD NEW TIRES INSTALLED ON 1-11-14 AND TWO SENSORS WERE CHANGED AT THAT TIME. SO THREE OUT OF THE FOUR SENSORS FAILED WITH ONE BLOWN TIRE . *JS

MY 2009 MAZDA 6 ALSO HAS A MELTING DASHBOARD, CAUSING A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

MY FRONT DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND VERY SHINY AND REFLECTS THE SUNS GLARE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA MAZDA6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK FUEL CAP WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT SPIDER WEBS WERE DEVELOPING IN THE FUEL AND CANISTER VENT LINES. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE WEBS NEEDED TO BE REMOVED, THE CANISTER VALVE AND THE CANISTER VENT LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 11V134000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

I SEE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT A MELTING DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD, ESPECIALLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A SOFTISH MATERIAL THAT ALMOST MELTS WHEN PARKED IN OUTDOOR UNDER SUN EVEN FOR FEW MINUTES. IN SUCH A CONDITION IF I TOUCH THIS PART OF DASHBOARD IT CRUMBLES INTO PIECES. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ALWAYS PARK UNDER ROOF AND THIS MATERIAL USED SEEMS TO BE OF VERY LOW QUALITY. COST OF FIXING IS UNKNOWN. *TR

THE CAR'S ALARM SYSTEM WOULD BE TRIGGERED RANDOMLY. IN A PERIOD OF 3 WEEKS IT HAPPENED AROUND 15 TIMES. IT ENDED UP DRAINING THE CAR BATTERY ONCE. THE ALARM IS ON FOR FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT STOPS BY ITSELF. UPON TAKING IT TO THE MAZDA DEALER THEY SAID IT IS A PROBLEM WITH DOOR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE SWITCHES IN ALL 4 DOORS. THEY WERE ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, BUT I DOUBT IF IT IS RELATED TO THE RECALL THAT WAS MADE LAST SEPTEMBER FOR FIXING THE DOOR'S LATCH SYSTEM. THE DEALER HAD FIXED THE SAME JUST A BACK MONTH. *TR
