MAZDA Complaints

THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT WENT OUT. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS ADVISED IT'S NOT THE BULB ITSELF RATHER IT'S A COMPONENT WITHIN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY WHICH IS CORRODED DUE TO THE BUILD OF OF MOISTURE WITHIN THE LAMP KIT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM & THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN (SERVICE BULLETIN NO.: SB-09-003-13). THE DEALERSHIP STATED MAZDA WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR AND QUOTED ME A COST IN EXCESS OF $1,000 TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP AND RELATED PARTS. I BELIEVE MAZDA TO BE RESPONSIBLE WHEN THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V382000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR HAD SEVERE OIL LEAK FOUND DURING AN OIL CHANGE WITH NO OIL LEFT IN THE CAR; HOWEVER THERE WAS NEVER OIL ON THE GROUND - I PARK IN THE GARAGE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, THEY DID THE DYE TEST AND FOUND THE LEAK NEAR THE OIL COOLER FROM THE SEAL/GASKET. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART AND IT APPEARS TO BE VERY COMMON AFTER 80K MILES FROM MY SEARCHES ONLINE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO FAIL AT AROUND 1800 MILES. CAR WOULD HESITATE TO ENGAGE IN GEAR FROM A STOP, AND ALSO WOULD JUST SPIN BEFORE ENGAGING IN A NEW GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY. DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION PER MAZDA RECOMMENDATION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT ON THIS MODEL.

THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL FOR EITHER LOW OR HIGH BEAMS MAKING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY DURING RAIN OR AT NIGHT. THERE IS NOT ONLY MOISTURE BUT QUITE A BIT OF WATER ACCUMULATED INSIDE BOTH HEADLIGHTS. THIS VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED ON SEPTEMBER 2015 AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWN WHICH COMES WITH FULL LIMITED WARRANTY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO SERVICE THE ISSUE BUT THEY INDICATED THAT THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THEIR ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IT IS $1,900.00 I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IS MORE A MANUFACTURER SAFETY ISSUE THAN A WARRANTY CLAIM. I DID RESEARCH AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THE HEADLIGHTS FOR MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINS CALLING IT A CONDENSATION ISSUE ON 2010 MAZDA 3S. IT WAS ALSO STRANGE THAT THE DEALER REP COMMENTED THAT THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE BEEN IN A CRASH WHEN THE CARFAX REPORT INDICATED THE OPPOSITE AND WE HAVE THANKFULLY BEEN ACCIDENT FREE SINCE ITS PURCHASE. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE.

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP WHICH IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE BY MAZDA THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO GO BAD. THIS BS WITH IT COST MY WIFE HER JOB

TAKATA RECALL. MAZDA HAS DONE NOTHING TO REPLACE MY AIR BAGS ONLY TELLING ME THAT I'M ON THE RECALL LIST AND THAT REPLACEMENTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE NOW.

DIM HEADLAMP BULBS BURN OUT REPEATEDLY . HAVE OWNED VEHICLE 5 MONTHS AND HAVE CHANGED 4 TIMES

WHEN PUMPING GAS IN THE FUEL TANK, THE GAS SPEWS OUT WHEN THE PUMP STOPS. THIS CAUSES THE GAS TO SPILL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR.

WHEN YOU PUMP GAS INTO THE FUEL TANK, THE GAS SPEWS OUT WHEN THE PUMP STOPS. THE GAS FLOWS OUT DOWN THE SIDE OF THE CAR.
