MAZDA Complaints

I PURCHASED MY 2019 CX 3 NOVEMBER 2018. APRIL 17 2019 WITH 1840 MILES I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY. I WAS TOLD I DIDN'T DRIVE THE CARE ENOUGH! I DRIVE MY CAR EVERY DAY BUT IT IS LOCAL DRIVING. FEBRUARY 25 2020 MY CAR WAS SERVICED AT 5000 MILES INCLUDING OIL CHANGE AND ENGINE CHECK. PAPERWORK SHOWED BATTERY AT 100%. MARCH 2 2020 ANOTHER NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE "COLD" (70 DEGREES) WEATHER! I DO NOT LEAVE A/C OR RADIO RUNNING WHEN I EXIT THE CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH MY CAR OR SOME OTHER UNDERLYING PROBLEM. WILL I HAVE TO REPLACE THE BATTERY ANNUALLY??? BOTH INSTANCES OCCURRED WHEN I TURNED THE CAR ON AND ALL LIGHTS FLASHED, CAR DID NOT WANT TO GO. TURNED IT OFF, RESTARTED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THANK YOU

ROUGH IDLE CAUSING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR CYLINDER MISFIRE, FOUND CYLINDER 4 WITH A BENT SPARK PLUG WITH THE GAP CLOSED. REPLACED ALL 4 PLUGS CAR RAN FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE CYLINDER MISFIRE WITH CYLINDER 4 WITH ANOTHER BENT PLUG GAP CLOSED. POSSIBLE SOMETHING LOOSE INSIDE CYLINDER 4 CAUSING THE MISFIRE ISSUES TO THE PLUG. MILEAGE 130,280

ON MARCH 1, 2020, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT SOUTH ON RT. 41 (TAMIAMI HIGHWAY) IN NORTH PORT, FLORIDA WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE HEARD AN 'EXPLOSION' THAT STARTLED HER. IT WAS THE SUNROOF THAT EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON ON OUR 2016 MAZDA CX-5 PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER 28, 2015 AND CURRENTLY WITH 62,000+ MILES ON IT. FORTUNATELY, THE UNDERLYING SUNROOF PANEL WAS CLOSED, SO NONE OF THE GLASS FRAGMENTS ENDED UP IN HER FACE/ARMS/CHEST, WHICH, IF HAPPENED, COULD HAVE ALSO CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

THESE TIRES ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CAME ON MY CAR WHICH WAS PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016. WHEN I WAS ROTATING THESE TIRES FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 6138 MILES I NOTICED THAT THESE TIRES WERE SPLITTING OPEN IN THE GROOVES THAT RUN AROUND THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR FEAR OF A BLOWOUT IN ONE OR MORE TIRES. THESE BRIGESTONE POTENZA S001 TIRES SHOULD BE WATCHED CLOSELY IF THEY ARE SPLITTING OPEN WITH ONLY 6138 MILES AND 3 1/2 YEARS OF USE. I FEEL THAT THESE ARE VERY UNSAFE TIRES.

VEHICLE HAD A LOUD GRINDING/GROWING SOUND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN OCTOBER 2018 REPLACED RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING, SAME ISSUE TOOK TO DEALER REPLACED LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING IN MAY 2019, SAME ISSUE REPLACED LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING AGAIN DECEMBER OF 2019, SAME ISSUE REPLACED RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING MARCH 2020

I WENT IN THE STORE FOR A FEW MINUTES AND I CAN OUT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AT ALL IT SHIFTED OUT OF PARK AND ALL IT DID WAS THE SHIFTER JUST STOPPED AND WAS LOOSE IT WOULD NOT INGAGE IN ANOTHER GEAR

LIGHTING:WHEN APPLYING BREAKS, HEADLIGHTS FLICKER. WINDSHIELD: LEAKS. ADHESIVE EXPANDED, CAUSING SEAL TO BREAK. WATER POURS IN ON DASH FROM SIDE DURING BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS OR CAR WASH. ADHESIVE ALSO EXPANDED ON GAUGE PANEL, CAUSING DISPLAY WINDOW TO LIFT. WAS THIS WAY WHEN PURCHASED. DID NOT NOTICE HEADLIGHTS AND WINDOW SEAL AT TIME OF PURCHASE.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR WOULD VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY AT HIGH SPEED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THAT. 2019 CX5 EXHIBITS AN EXCESSIVE VIBRATION FROM THE DRIVER-SIDE POWER DOOR MIRROR GLASS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS CONCERN MAY BE DUE TO A LACK OF RIGIDITY OF THE MIRROR BASE SO THE MIRROR VIBRATES WHEN IT RECEIVES VEHICLE VIBRATION OR WIND PRESSURE. WITH THE WEATHER WARMING UP, STUFF INSIDE THE DOOR PANELS IS EXPANDING WHICH MAGNIFIES THE VIBRATION ISSUE. VIBRATION NOISE IS GETTING WORSE COMING FROM BOTH DOOR PANELS WHEN THE CAR HITS A CRACK, BUMP, POTHOLE, OR WHEN THE RADIO IS ON. MAZDA CORPORATION LACKS INTEGRITY AND REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE DUE TO THEIR POOR QUALITY CONTROL. THIS IS ISN'T A NEW PROBLEM. 2013-2015 CX-5 HAD SAME ISSUE WITH DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR VIBRATION BUT THEY ISSUED A RECALL AND THE PROBLEM WAS FROM THE DOOR PANEL WHICH LACKED SUPPORT AND WAS POORLY MADE IN THE 1ST PLACE.

I STARTED NOTICING CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED THTHE CRACKS THE FOLLOWING MORNING. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY GO OFF WITH THE SLIGHTEST VIBRATIONS OR CLOSING OF THE VEHICLE DOORS.

BRAKES WHEN APPLIED WOULD SOMETIMES GO TO THE FLOOR BEFORE STOPPING. THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS GONE BAD AND VERY DANGEROUS ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. BRAKE PEDAL SOFT AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT STOP.
