MAZDA Complaints

HAD FULLY LOADED CX5 TOURING 4 MONTHS. SUDDENLY TODAY, WHEN I PRESS ON ACCELERATOR, CAR WOULD JERK AS IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FORWARD. AFTER I MADE IT TO WORK, LEFT WORK EARLY TO GO TO DEALERSHIP. CAR WOULD START AND GO INTO REVERSE, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD IN DRIVE. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY ARE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I AM REALLY NERVOUS THAT THEY FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE A 90 MILE COMMUTE (ROUND TRIP) ON A FAST MOVING TOLL ROAD, AND CANNOT TAKE THE CHANCE OF BREAKING DOWN WHEN I AM IN ROUTE.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH EVAP LEAK CODE. SMALL LEAK AT FIRST THEN INCLUDED LARGE LEAK CODE LATER. ALSO BEGAN TO NOTICE STRONG GAS SMELL OUTSIDE VEHICLE AFTER FUELING. TURNED OUT THE FUEL PUMP RING THAT HOLDS DOWN AND SEALS FUEL PUMP TO FUEL TANK HAD CRACKED. OVER TIME THE SPLIT BECAME LARGER. WHEN TANK WAS FILLED, RAW FUEL WOULD LEAK OUT AROUND PUMP ON TOP OF TANK. WHICH ALSO HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT UNDER THE REAR SEAT WHERE ME KIDS SIT. REPLACEMENT WAS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THE RING COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM UNDER THE SEAT. IT REQUIRED DROPPING THE TANK TO REPAIR. MECHANIC FELT IT WAS A STRESS CRACK. THE FUEL PUMP HAD NEVER BEEN WORKED ON BEFORE. THE ORIGINAL RING WAS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY.

ON OCTOBER 6, 2015, I WAS TRAVELING ON I-70 IN SOUTHERN UTAH WHEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE TIRE WAS A YOKOHAMA GEOLANDER G91, DOT FDF5 PC50814, SIZE P225/65R17/60H. THIS TIRE WAS ON MY 2015 MAZDA CX5 WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN LATE AUGUST 2014. IT HAD 10559 MILES ON IT. ROAD CONDITIONS AT THE TIME OF THE BLOW OUT WERE EXCELLENT AND THE ROAD WAS VERY SMOOTH AS IT HAD BEEN RECENTLY PAVED. THE TIRE WAS IN 3 PIECES, THE TWO SIDE WALLS AND THE BOTTOM TREAD. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF PUNCTURE. THE GENTLEMAN WHO ASSISTED IN CHANGING THE TIRE SAID HE WAS FREQUENTLY CALLED TO THAT AREA FOR FLAT TIRE ASSISTANCE, BUT HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THIS SEPARATION OF THE SIDEWALLS FROM THE TREAD. IT SEEMS THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH YOKOHAMA TIRES FROM MY READING OF OTHER COMPLAINTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 MAZDA 5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWED WHEN FILLED UP. THIS WAS A RECURRING ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

PURCHASED 2016 MAZDA CX-5 IN JUNE 2015. WITHIN TWO WEEKS, CRACKED WINDSHIELD. TWO MONTHS LATER, SECOND CRACKED WINDSHIELD. TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT, CRACKED WINDSHIELD. TWO MONTHS AFTER THAT, CRACKED WINDSHIELD. NOW...ANOTHER TWO MONTHS LATER, I WILL BE ON MY 4TH WINDSHIELD. WHEN THESE CRACK, THEY CREATE HIGH GLARE AND BLINDING MOMENTS WHEN SUN OR HEADLIGHTS CATCH THAT CRACK. THERE IS A MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN ISSUE WITH THIS PRODUCT. AND ALSO AN ACCOMPANYING SAFETY ISSUE. I ONLY NOTICED THESE CRACKS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SITTING. RECOURSE?
