MAZDA Complaints

CAR AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING ON DASH INDICATING NEED FOR REPAIR, TOOK TO LOT A I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM WHO REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, STILL HAVE FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT AND AM CONCERNED NOW AIRBAG WILL NOT INFLATE IN AN EMERGENCY AND THAT MY MAZDA 6 WAS OVERLOOKED DURING INITIAL RECALLS FOR OTHER MAZDA 6 OF THIS GENERATION AS IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH IT THAT ARE LISTED AS RECALLS FOR OTHERS.

DOOR LATCH STICKS WHEN OPENING, CAUSING DOOR TO POSSIBLY STAY OPEN UNBEKNOWNST TO DRIVER AND CAUSE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY EJECT NON SECURED PERSONS OR OBJECTS IN CAR. FOUND OUT DURING OPERATION WHEN THE DOOR NEXT TO MY TODDLER SWUNG OPENED IN A TURN.

2016 MAZDA CX-5 POWER DRIVER SEAT RECLINES TO VARYING DEGREES (SOMETIMES FULLY, SOMETIMES PARTIALLY) INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT INPUT WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED. MIGHT HAPPEN TODAY AND NOT AGAIN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS OR MORE THAN A MONTH BUT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN TOMORROW. SEAT ADJUSTMENT SWITCH WORKS NORMALLY OTHERWISE. DEALER UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR DUPLICATE PROBLEM. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE OFFERED OTHER THAN WE MUST BE RUBBING AGAINST THE ADJUSTMENT SWITCH AS WE EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE SINCE THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT SWITCH REQUIRES CONTINUOUS ACTIVATION RATHER THAN A MOMENTARY INPUT WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND MY MAZDA CX9 CAUGHT FIRE! I DIDN'T REALIZE IT SINCE IT WAS UNDER THE CAR AND THE CAR BESIDE INFORMED ME OF IT. THIS WAS DUE TO THE TRANSFER CASE ISSUES THAT MAZDA HAD TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THEM BECAUSE OF SO MANY ISSUES WITH THEM. THEY ARE COVERED FOR 90 THOUSAND MILES OR 7 YEARS. MY TRANSFER CASE WAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE AND DO TO ISSUES AND NOW SINCE MY CAR IS PAST THE 7 YEARS BUT ONLY HAS 60 THOUSAND MILES THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT. EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSFER CASE THEY REPLACED A FEW YEARS AGO SHOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SITUATION COULD OF BEEN A LOT WORSE AND THANK GOODNESS MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME.

THE INFOTAMINMENT SYSTEM COMPUTER IS ON CONSTANT REBOOT LOOP,MAKING IT ALONG WITH ALL ITS FEATURES UNUSABLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE BACKUP CAMERA BLACKS OUT AND ALSO THE HANDS FREE DRIVING IS UNABLE TO BE USED. THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING FINE IN THE MORNING AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE HOME IT CRASHED AFTER STARTING THE CAR. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND MAZDA HAS NOT RECALLED THE PART.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ENTIRE DASH LIGHTS GO DARK. THIS IS THE THIRD EPISODE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO DEALER TWICE BEFORE WITH SAME COMPLAINT. I CONTACTED MAZDA IN DECEMBER 2018 & WAS GIVEN REFERENCE NUMBER OF 1-1911536225. INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY WHEN DRIVING UNDER OVERPASS ON HIGHWAY

AFTER A 700 MILE TRIP FROM ARIZONA TO CALIFORNIA ON THE HIGHWAY, MY MAZDA'S CX-5 WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND REACHING 5 MPH THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY FEEL AS IF IT WERE BREAKING, CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD. THIS OCCURRED WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE DOWN THE STREET. IMAGINE IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR 2009 FROM MECHANIC 2 WEEKS AGO I RUN FOR 100MILES FOR TO AND FROM WORK ONLY.AFTER SUDDENLY AT LIGHT CAME SO I WENT TO CHECK NEAREST AUTO PARTS STORES WITH CODE READER FOR DIAGNOSTIC & HE SAID THERE MIGHT BE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. AFTER I AM ABLT TO START ENGINE BUT CAR WON'T DRIVE IN D MODE BUT R CAN WORK WITH JERK AND HORSE POWER GO UP TO 5000 UP. SO I AM GOING TO SEE WITH HAYES MAZDA IN KALAMAZOO. THEREFORE, PLEASE TAKE A SERIOUS ACTION OR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER

MY HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM NO MATTER WHICH BULBS I PUT IN. I REALLY NEED TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE DRIVING AT NIGHT IS A DANGER. I'VE READ MANY MAZDA CX-7 OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE.

2-3 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THAT EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE WAS NOT HOLDING THE CAR AGAIN AFTER RECALL HAS BEEN COMPLETED BACK IN SEP 2017. NOW I ALWAYS LEAVE MY CAR PARKED ON THE 1ST GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION). MY MECHANIC SAID THAT CALIPERS HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED AND THEY LOOK ORIGINAL ALSO HE SHOWED ME THAT BRAKE PADS ARE NOT BEING RELEASED AND GET STUCK REALLY HARD ON THE REAR AXIS. I FOUND THE INVOICE AND EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED IS "PARKING BRAKE LEVER PER RECALL ORDER". ALSO MAZDA DECLINED FIXING/REPLACING BRAKE PADS THAT HAVE BEEN WORN OUT WITHING 1 YEAR AFTER I REPLACED THEM. THEY SAID THAT THIS CAN'T BE COVERED SINCE THE JOB HAS NOT BEEN DONE BY MAZDA SERVICE AND THE PARTS WERE AFTERMARKET. I HAD TO CHANGE PADS ON THE READ AXIS 2 TIMES IN ALMOST 1 YEAR AND NOW I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. ALSO I HEAR SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN I'M DRIVING. I CAN HEAR THAT THE PADS ARE NOT COMPLETELY RELEASED AND TOUCHING BRAKE DISKS. ALMOST A YEAR BEFORE THE RECALL MY CAR ROLLED DOWN THE SLOPE AND BLOCKED FAIRLY BUSY ROAD IN WASHINGTON DC. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T HIT ANY CAR OR PERSON.
