TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS CORRODE AND FALL APART CAUSING TIRES TO GO FLAT INSTANTLY. I HAVE HAD 3 OF THE ORIGINAL SENSORS FAIL AND THE MOST RECENT ONE (2-16-16) ALSO DESTROYED THE TIRE. THIS HAPPENED TO MY WIFE ON 2-16-16. THESE ORIGINAL SENSORS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

CAR ACCIDENT GOING AROUND 60MPH ON A HIGHWAY, HIT GUARDRAIL HEAD ON DUE TO BLACK ICE AND RAIN, SPINNING TWICE HITTING GUARDRAILS AGAIN FRONT AND BACK MULTIPLE TIMES, NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THANK GOODNESS FOR THE SEATBELT AS I'M SURE DEATH WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IF THAT FAILED TOO. GOING THROUGH THE INSURANCE PROCESS NOW AND WILL HAVE MORE PICTURES AND POLICE REPORT IN HAND SHORTLY. I THOUGHT MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN A SAFE CAR... I GUESS NOT.

ONLY GOT MY CAR FOR A MONTH :( AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY NOTICE THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED STARTED FROM THE TOP MIDDLE WHERE THE RARE MIRROR IS. THE CRACK IS NOW LONGER AND LONGER DAY BY DAY. MAYBE GOT HIT BY A TINY TINY LITTLE ROCK BUT THE DOT OF THE HIT WAS SO SMALL THAT IT COULD HARDLY BE SEEN. I BELIEVE THAT IT'S CHEAP WINDSHIELD THAT MAZDA IS USING. ALL THE BS HOW SAFETY THIS CAR IS......
