2011 MAZDA MAZDA6 Complaints

MAZDA HAS RECALLED AND REPLACED FRONT SUB-FRAMES FOR CORROSION RELATED ISSUES. MAZDA HAS NOT RECALLED REAR SUB-FRAMES WHICH HAVE THE SAME CORROSION RELATED ISSUES FROM IMPROPER STEEL QUALITY OR FAULT MANUFACTURING OF THE STEEL COMPONENTS. UPON INSPECTION OF REAR SUB-FRAME, MULTIPLE HOLES IN THE REAR SUB-FRAME WERE OBSERVED, INCLUDING MULTIPLE HOLES AT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR SPRING MOUNT WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY COMPROMISES THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AT HIGH SPEEDS IN FEAR OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND A CRASH. MAZDA DEALERSHIP HAS STATED IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL AND WILL COST ME APPROXIMATELY $4,000.00 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE REAR-SUBFRAME. THIS IS NOT A MAINTENANCE ITEM IN MY OPINION ON A LESS THAN 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE I BOUGHT NEW, AND IS A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER SIMILAR TO THE FRONT SUB-FRAMES. UPON INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET, NUMEROUS MAZDA6 OWNERS WHO HAD FRONT SUB-FRAMES REPLACED ALSO HAVE SAME ISSUE. *TR

ALARM GOES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE CAR IS PARKED. THIS STARTED IN FEBRUARY, 2020 AND HAS CONTINUED TO THE PRESENT. *TR

HAD AN HEAD ON CAR ACCIDENT ON THE STREET MY TIRE BLOW OUT AND HIT A LIGHT POLE. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT COME OUT, ALSO THE DRIVER AIRBAG CAME OUT BUT IT WAS DEFLATED NO AIR WAS IN IT OR WHAT EVER MAKES AN AIR BAG BLOW UP. IN WHICH COST ME TO HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL.

THE REAR SUBFRAME IS BADLY ROTTING OUT. THERE IS A LARGE HOLE IN THE SUBFRAME NEXT TO THE SPRING WHERE IT US ABOUT TO BREAK THROUGH. THE GARAGE SAID IT US NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. SAME ISSUE WITH THE FRONT FRAME AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL. NOW THE CAR BEEN SITTING IN THE GARAGE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND NO PARTS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERS NO HELP.

WHEN YOU PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PRESS THE ENGINE BUTTON THE CAR DOES NOT TURN OFF, YOU HAVE TO MOVE THE SHIFTER BACK AND FORTH SEVERAL TIME TO GET THE CAR TO POWER DOWN.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MAY 2016 WITH 68K MILES ON IT. FIRST MONTH REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS BECAUSE THE DRIVERS SIDE WENT OUT. FIGURED OK NO PROBLEM NORMAL SITUATION, REPLACED BOTH DUE TO GOOD PRACTICE YOU DON'T JUST REPLACE ONE. FAST FORWARD 3 MONTHS LATER, THINK IT WAS ALMOST THANKSGIVING. IT WAS GETTING DARK, AND I FIGURED OK IT SEEMS WAY DARKER THAN IT SHOULD. I PULLED OVER TO REALIZE, I HAD NO HEADLIGHTS. I PROCEEDED UP THE ROAD TO WHERE I KNEW AN AUTOZONE WAS, AND PURCHASED A NEW SET OF SYLVANIA LONG LIFE BULBS, I THINK, I JUST KNOW THEY WERE EXPENSIVE, ABOUT $120. SO I WHIPPED OUT THE CREDIT CARD AND PURCHASED THEM ALONG WITH A SCREW DRIVER AND PLIERS AND PROCEEDED TO DESTROY MY NEW CARHART SWEATSHIRT LAYING IN THE PARKING LOT JAMMING MY ARMS IN THE WHEEL WELLS TO REPLACE THESE BULBS. YEAH THIS WAS REAL FUN CONSIDERING IT STARTED TO RAIN. ANYWAY, I WON THAT BATTLE, BUT LITTLE DID I KNOW I WAS GOING TO LOSE THE WAR! PLEASE SEE WORD DOCUMENT ATTACHED FOR REST OF THIS NIGHTMARE. I RAN OUT OF SPACE TRYING TO DESCRIBE IT HERE.
