MAZDA Complaints

WE RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG LAST MARCH 2015. WE CONTACTED THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2015 ASKING WHEN WE WOULD HAVE OUR AIRBAGS REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WOULD COME IN. MAYBE IN 2016. WE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH AN UNSAFE AIRBAG. HAS NHTSA SET A DEADLINE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAGS? THIS DELAY IS SCARY AND FRUSTRATION. MAZDA IS IN NO HURRY WHAT STEPS CAN WE TAKE TO THE AIRBAGS REPLACE NOW?

GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AT INTERSECTION , AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK , AS A RESULT I HAVE SERIOUS CHEST PAINS . VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING STRAIGHT WHILE A VEHICLE AT INTERSECTION WAS TURNING LEFT ACROSS MY ROAD.

MY 2010 MAZDA3 DASHBOARD IS MELTING/DISSOLVING INTO A STICKY GOO. THE MELTING AREA IS CURRENTLY ABOUT 8" SQUARE AND APPEARS TO BE SPREADING. IT IS LOCATED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND CREATES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THE SUN SHINES UPON IT. THE GLARE IS A DISTRACTION AND, AT TIMES, MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THINGS. I NOTICED THE GLARE AND THE MELTING DASHBOARD ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO.

AIR BAGS ARE DEADLY. MY GRAND DAUGHTER SITS IN THE BACK SEAT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS THE SEAT BELT NEVER LOCKS PROPERLY JUST A PIECE OF TRASH.

SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND DUE TO MY BREAK CAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP & THE TRANSMITTION WENT OUT ON THE CAR & I ALSO HAD OTHER PROBLEMS TO WITH THE CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V345000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V382000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MAZDA HAS CRAMPED VENT DUCT, SPEAKER, AC DUCT AND FRONT DISPLAY ON TO OF THE DASHBOARD AT THE DRIVER SIDE. REFLECTION FROM ALL THESE MAKE THE DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT. I HAVE TALK TO THE MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MY DEALER. THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN LISTENING TO MY COMPLAINT. THERE MESSAGE IS THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR AND ITS DONE. ITS A SAFETY HAZARD AND ACCIDENT IS BOUND TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS

MOISTURE IS CONDENSING IN REAR LIGHTS WHICH IS OBSTRUCTING OTHER DRIVERS ABILITY TO SEE THE VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED 2 NOTICES REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ISSUE. BOTH NOTICES STATE THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE SO I AM BASICALLY DRIVING AROUND IN A UNSAFE CAR. WHAT CAN BE DONE IF MAZDA CANNOT FIX THE ISSUE TO ALLEVIATE MY CONCERN AS A CONSUMER.

MY FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM I CAN HARDLY SEE WHEN DRIVING AFTER DUSK. EVEN WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON I CAN ONLY SEE ABOUT TWO CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF ME. THEY LOOK FOGGED UP. I WAS GETTING GAS LAST WEEK AND A GENTLEMAN CAME OVER AND ASKED IF HE COULD CLEAN MY HEADLIGHTS...FREE OF CHARGE BUT HE FELT IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE. I TOLD HIM I AGREED BUT THAT THEY COULDN'T BE CLEANED. HE DID GIVE IT A TRY BUT IT WAS FUTILE. THE FILM THAT SEEMS TO BE COVERING THE LENS IS ON THE INSIDE...OR I THINK IT IS BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE SCRUBBED OFF. IT IS REALLY SCARY DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND NEW LIGHT BULBS DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT THAT IF JUST BEING IGNORED.
