2009 MAZDA MAZDA6 Complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA, MAZDA 6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70-75 MPH, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT ROLLED OVER. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CONTACT STATED EARLIER IN THE YEAR THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A NOISE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. WHILE BRAKING, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE FRONT TIRE WAS FLAT WITHIN 30 SECONDS. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE VALVE STEMS WERE CORRODED AND CAUSED THE TIRE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE CONTACT'S FACTORY WARRANTY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 13,000.

2009 MAZDA ISPORT HAS GONE THROUGH TWO COMPLETE SETS OF BRAKES, ROTORS, AND PADS AND IT ONLY HAS 22,000 MILES ON IT. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY INCONSISTENT WHEN APPLIED. SOMETIMES IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND SOMETIMES IT ONLY TRAVELS A SMALL DISTANCE. IT'S MUCH WORSE WHEN THE DSC IS ENGAGED. *TR

NEW HID HEADLAMPS HAVE VERY LITTLE LIGHT TO SEE ABOVE A CERTAIN HEIGHT DEPENDING ON ROAD TERRAIN. AS EXAMPLE WHEN GOING DOWNHILL YOU CANNOT SEE THE LANES IN UPCOMING UPHILL GRADES. THE LACK OF ELIMINATION IN THE AREA ABOVE THE HORIZONTAL PROJECTION, PREVENTS SEEING ROAD SIGNS, LANE CHANGES, AND PEDESTRIANS IF YOU ARE TRAVELING AT A DOWNHILL ANGLE ON YOUR APPROACH. MY CAR, 2009 MAZDA 6, HAS ADJUSTMENT TO RAISE PROJECTION DEPENDING ON WEIGHT OF PASSENGERS IN BACK SEAT, BUT THESE NEW LIGHTS IN MY OPINION ARE STILL UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I SPOKE TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT POSSIBLY CHANGING OUT THESE LIGHTS FOR SOME OTHER TYPE, BUT HE SAID HE HAD SAME PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING HIS VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THIS HEADLIGHT DESIGN IS BEING ADDED TO MORE VEHICLE MAKES AND IS MAKING NIGHT DRIVING A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FOR ALL NEW CARS USING THIS DESIGN. THESE NEW HEADLAMPS ARE WORTHLESS ON HILLY TERRAIN. SINCE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PERSON AGREED AND THERE IS NO APPARENT FIX, I BELIEVE THIS WILL RESULT IN MORE NIGHT ACCIDENTS. *TR

MY BRAKES ON MY 2009 MAZDA 6S HAVE FAILED 3 TIMES, RESULTING IN THE MASTER CYLINDER BEING REPLACED 2X, AND THE ABS UNIT 1X. WHEN I WOULD BRING MY CAR TO A STOP, IT WOULD START TO ROLL AGAIN. THIS MADE ME VERY CONCERNED ABOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

MY 2009 MAZDA 6 I TOURING AT DURING DRIVING AT 20-25 MPH OR AT 50-80 MPH PRODUCES A SULFUR EMISSION FROM THE AIR VENTS INSIDE AS WELL AS FROM THE EXHAUST PIPES. THIS BEGAN WHEN THE ODOMETER WAS JUST OVER 300 MILES. EVEN THOUGH THIS CAR REQUIRES REGULAR UNLEADED OCTANE RATING 87 GAS, OCTANE RATING 92 HAS BEEN USED AS WELL AS GENERIC BRANDS OF GAS. SINCE SWITCHING BACK FROM OCTANE 92 GAS TO REGULAR UNLEADED OCTANE 87 GAS (AS ADVISED FROM THE METRO MAZDA DEALERSHIP IN MA) AND FROM THE GENERIC TO A MORE RECOGNIZED BRAND OF GAS (MOBILE), THE SULFUR EMISSION FROM THE AIR VENTS HAS BEEN GREATLY REDUCED TO BECOME A RARE OCCURRENCE, BUT IS STILL THERE, AS RECENT AS 10/22/09 ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ABOUT 4200 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE SULFUR EMISSION STILL COMES OUT FROM THE EXHAUST PIPES AND IS MOST NOTABLE IN THE GARAGE WHETHER THE CAR IS RUNNING OR NOT. THE SMELL IS STILL NOTICED WHEN OUTSIDE, RUNNING OR NOT, AND HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, ALMOST EVERY TIME THE CAR IS SHUT OFF. WHETHER DISTANCE IN TRAVEL IS SHORT OR LONG, THE EMISSION FROM BOTH AREAS REMAINS AND HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. *TR

2009 MAZDA 6 I TOURING AT MAKES AN INTENSE BUZZING VIBRATION SOUND AFTER SHIFTING TO DRIVE AT FIRST IGNITION OF THE DAY BEFORE ANY ACCELERATION. THE VIBRATION COMES FROM THE CENTER CUPHOLDERS IN THE FRONT, WHICH IN TURN IS FROM THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ITSELF. THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE FROM DAY ONE. *TR

DEAR SIR I HAVE RECENTLY BOUGHT A NEW MAZDA 6 CAR FITTED WITH DUNLOP TIRES SP2050 .WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT AND CAUSES A HOLE BETWEEN THE TIER WRING AND THE SURFACE THAT TOUCH THE ROAD. ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS MOVING ABOUT 80 KMPH. MY FAMILY AND MYSELF LIFE WAS EXPOSED TO DANGER WHEN THIS INCIDENT WAS HAPPENED. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW IT WAS MADE ONLY 16,400KM. WHEN I WENT TO CLAIM FOR TIER REPLACEMENT BUT BOTH MAZDA AND DUNLOP AGENTS DENIED RESPONSIBILITY THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE TIER. *TR
