MAZDA Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE DAY TIME RUNNING LED LIGHT STOPPED WORKING JUST AFTER 3 YR WARRANTY EXPIRED. COST TO REPLACE OVER $1000. THERE IS A LOT OF REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE 2016 MODEL.

THE GLASS SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING 65MPH IN LANE ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF I-476 BETWEEN ALLENTOWN AND QUAKERTOWN PA AT 11AM ON DECEMBER 31, 2019, CONSTANT 40 TEMP, NO RECENT CHANGE IN ALTITUDE, NOT NEAR AN OVERPASS OR CLOSE TO OTHER TRAFFIC. NO INDICATION THAT ANYTHING STRUCK THE VEHICLE FROM ANY DIRECTION. SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN BLAST. MY WIFE AND I WERE SHOWERED WITH BROKEN GLASS.TERRIFYING AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY SAFELY. SUBSEQUENTLY READ THE 2017CONSUMER REPORTS ARTICLE ON SUCH EVENTS - TURNS OUT THIS IS A THING. INSURANCE COVERED REPAIR, WE WERE OUT ONLY THE DEDUCTIBLE. REPAIR TOOK THREE WEEKS. WE CAN PROVIDE DOCUMENTS IF YOU LIKE.

AT 76,000 THE DRIVER'S DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. BEFORE IT WENT COMPLETELY OUT I NOTICED IT FLICKERED.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN YOU BRAKE THE HEADLIGHTS DIM SIGNIFICANTLY AND FLICKER UNTIL YOU GO BACK TO THE GAS OR STOP. I NOTICED THIS WHEN I DROVE THE CAR I BOUGHT FOR MY DAUGHTER ONE NIGHT IN OCTOBER 2019.

ABS, TRACTION CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS CAME AND HAVE STAYED ON. TOLD THE ABS MODULE NEEDS REPLACING.

I HAVE ONLY 38K MILES ON MY VEHICLE I WENT TO GET EMISSIONS DONE I FAILED DUE TO GAS CAP WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REPLACING THERE GAS CAPS AND THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR TO HAVE TO DO EMISSIONS TEST AND THIS IS MAKING ME WONDER WILL MY GAS CAP FAIL AGAIN NEXT YEAR OR EVERY 3 YEARS AND MY GAS CAP HAS A STRING ATTACHED TO IT SO IT HAVE NEVER HIT THE GROUND OR ANY THING OF THAT NATURE IF I HAVE TO REPLACE THE GAS CAP DUE TO INEFFICIENT SEALING OF GAS CAP TO GAS TANK I FEEL THERE SHOULD B A RECALL TO FIX THE ISSUE I HAVE FAITH IN MAZDA TO DO THE RIGHT THING I JUST WANT THEM TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION SO I DON'T HAVE TO BUY A GAS CAP EVERY YEAR OR HOW EVER LONG IT TAKES TO FAIL BUT 3 YEARS WITH A GAS CAP THAT LOOKS BRAND NEW IS UNACCEPTABLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MAZDA TRIBUTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V282000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE STATED IN THE RECALL WAS EXPERIENCED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT MURRAY MAZDA LOCATED AT 85 GRIFFITH RD, MUNCY, PA 17756, (570) 546-2222. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,611.

OIL AND COOLANT MIXED TOGETHER AND CAUSE ENGINE TO DIE WITH A SERVICE CODE OF P0016 WHICH MEANS PER THE DEALER THAT THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND HAD IT SERVICE BY MAZDA DEALERSHIP CONSISTENTLY. THIS IS COMMON ISSUE AND MAZDA MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE COVER THIS ISSUE FOR CUSTOMERS.

IT'S VERY COMMON IN THE MAZDA 5 CARS FOR THE EMISSION COMPONENTS TO FAIL OFTEN AND AFFECTS THE FUEL ECONOMY WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF FUEL, MONEY ETC. IT'S ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE EVAP LEAKS COULD RELEASE FUEL VAPORS TO THE ATMOSPHERE AND POLLUTING IT. AS WELL AS FIRE HAZARDS DUE TO THE FUEL LEAKS. I'VE NOTICED MANY CUSTOMERS APPROACHING THE DEALER DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WHICH KIND OF GIVES US THE FEELING THAT THIS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MAZDA5 VEHICLES.
