SOMEONE RAN UP TO MY CAR AT A STOP LIGHT TO TELL ME THAT BOTH OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE OUT. NOT SURE HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. I TOOK CAR TO SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE BRAKE BULBS HAD BURST AND MELTED MY TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES, PRESUMABLY DUE TO OVERHEATING. I KNOW THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS ISSUE BECAUSE A) I JUST REPLACED MY TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES 3 MONTHS AGO FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND B) I DID A QUICK ONLINE SEARCH AND SAW THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR MAZDA 3 HATCHBACKS, TAILS LIGHTS MELTING, BULBS BUSTING ETC. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN BE DRIVING AROUND FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME WITH BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS OUT AND NOT KNOW IT, LEADING TO REAR ENDING ACCIDENTS. I DRIVE AROUND MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY WITH MY BABY IN MY CAR. I WOULD BE FURIOUS IF I GOT I GOT REAR ENDED WHILE SHE WAS IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN WARD AVE. I PRESSED IN MY CLUTCH PEDDLE AND IT WAS STUCK ON THE FLOOR I COULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF GEAR I HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND LET IT STALL OUT. AFTER I PULLED OVER AND LET THE CAR STALL OUT I PULL THE CLUTCH PEDAL WITH MY FOOT AND PRESSED IT IN TO START THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD START BUT I COULDN'T MOVE AT ALL BECAUSE EVERY TIME I PUSHED THE PEDDLE IT WOULD STAY STUCK ON THE FLOOR. AND I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP UP THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN I NOTICE THAT MY MAZDA STARTED TO SLOW DOWN IN SPEED, I TURNED OFF THE A/C TO SEE IF I CAN HEAR ANY NOISE AND ALL I HEARD WAS A LOW NOISE LIKE A CHAIN, I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD CALLED MY HUSBAND WHO'S A MECHANIC AND HE SAID YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP ITS YOUR TIMING CHAIN. AS I WAS DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINT OUT THERE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. I STILL HAVE 3 YEARS LEFT ON THIS CAR AND ITS NOT FAIR THAT MAZDA KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ITS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IF YOUR CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN IN MAJOR AREAS THAT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. *TR
