AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHES INTERMITTENTLY, DEALERSHIP SAID MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS TRAVELING EAST BOUND ON THE 10 FWY AT ABOUT 50 MPH BETWEEN THE EXITS TOWN AND INDIAN HILL WITH INDIAN HILL EXIT AT 1 MILES AWAY AND I WAS CHANGING LANES SO THAT I COULD EXIT ON INDIAN HILL THERE WAS A TRUCK THAT WAS AT THE INDIAN HILL EXIT PUTTING IT IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE 1 MILES AWAY THERE WAS A CAR THAT WAS BEHIND ME AT APPROXIMATELY MILES AWAY. JUST AFTER I CHANGED LANES THE CAR WENT INTO AN EMERGENCY STOP AND THEN STALLED ALMOST CAUSING THE CAR THAT WAS BEHIND ME TO COME CLOSE TO REAR ENDING ME THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE (NHTSA COMPLAINT #11219653) BUT WAS THE THIRD TIME THAT I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ON FEB 27, 2020 10:00:00 AM

I NOTICED IN THE LAST ALMOST YEAR A STRANGE VIBRATION IN THE SUV WHEN I TURN, AS TIME WENT ON IT GOT LOUDER. I HAD COUPLE OTHER PARTS REPLACED THROUGHOUT THIS TIME THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE. I THAN FIND OUT RECENTLY IT WAS THE READ REPELLER SHAFT AND ANOTHER PART WHICH CONNECTS TO THE ENGINE ALSO PART OF THE DRIVE SHAFT. NOISE OCCURS WITH DRIVING I NOTICED AFTER SEARCHING IT IS COMMON WITH THIS SUV

AUDIBLE WHINE FROM TRANSMISSION WHEN IN MOTION. I CAN'T RECREATE THE NOISE WHEN STOPPED OR IN NEUTRAL AND CAN BE HEARD WHEN IN DRIVING AND PICKING UP SPEED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

I AM CURRENTLY STATIONED OVERSEAS AND CONTACTED MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THE ISSUE. I NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY AND IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR 3,000 FROM THE OWNER HAD IT FOR 2 MONTHS, GOT OIL AND ALL FLUIDS CHANGED. WHEN I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE A BLOCK AWAY IT TOTALLY DIED ON ME AND NOW IT WONT START AT ALL. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ABOTHER ONE. OR EVEN REPAIR IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MAZDA MAZDA3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEED AND MAKING TURN. THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE PARKING BRAKE AND POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FIVE TIMES IN TWO DAYS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AN UNKNOWN RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE POWER STEERING, HOWEVER THE REPAIR HAD NOT CORRECTED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED FOR THE SAME FAILURE AND IT WAS A ONE-TIME FREE FIX AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

WBAUGHT CAR WHEN IT WAS (2) AND HAD ABOUT 22K MILES IMMEDIATELY WINDSHILED FILLED WITH TINY CHIPS PAINT STARTED CHIPPING AT (6) HUGE SECTIONS OF PAINT GONE. AND CLUTCH FADES AT LIGHT ONLY 41K MILES.MAZDA IMPOSSABLE TO DEAL WITH.

I AM EXPERIENCING SUBSTANTIAL CHIPPING OF THE PAINT ON MY 2018 MAZDA CX-5. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR JUST UNDER 3 MONTHS AND UNDER 7000 MILES DRIVEN. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE PAINT IS NOT BONDED WITH THE METAL UNDERNEATH THE PAINT. OR THAT THE LAYERS OF PAINT ARE NOT BONDED. I HAVE HEARD OF MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING SAME OR VERY ISSUES WITH THE SOUL CRYSTAL RED PAINT MAZDA IS USING. IT NEEDS TO BE CLASSIFIED AS FAULTY PAINT AND HANDLED BY MAZDA ACCORDINGLY.
