MAZDA Complaints

THE BULBS MELTED BOTH BACK TAIL LIGHT LAMPS. A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FROM DEFECTIVE PARTS. WHICH SHOULD BE REPLACE AND REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

WAS FOLLOWING A CAR AND CAME UP TO A STOP LIGHT. I DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AND FELT SOME RESISTANCE BUT CAR WOULD NOT STOP. FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE BEING BLED OFF BY PERHAPS COMPUTER CONTROL. I SWITCHED INTO A RIGHT HAND TURN LANE THAT WAS CLEAR, CAR STILL NOT STOPPING. SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP PERHAPS TO 4500 RPM OR SO, THEN ENGINE WENT BACK TO IDLE ON ITS OWN. THE CAR HAD STOPPED AND I PUT IT IN PARK. WE THEN TURNED RIGHT AND CAUTIOUSLY PROCEEDED HOME, WITHOUT A FURTHER PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER AND REQUESTED THE MEMORY BE ANALYZED, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT READ THE BLACK BOX AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT SHOWED NO FAULTS. TEST DRIVE WAS UNEVENTFUL. I AGAIN REQUESTED THE BLACK BOX BE ANALYZED AS THE BRAKES APPEARED TO BE BLEEDING OFF. THEY SAID THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW IF MAZDA NEEDED ANYTHING MORE. MY BACKGROUND INCLUDES AUTO MECHANIC, TOW TRUCK DRIVER, CAR DEALERSHIP, TECHNICIAN, SOFTWARE ENGINEER, AND ANALYST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V344000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AT VARYING SPEEDS, THE BRAKES ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO APPLY. WHEN APPLIED FULLY, A LOUD SQUEALING CAN BE HEARD FROM THE DASHBOARD AREA. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A SERVICE CENTER FOR EVALUATION. *TR

MY MELTING DASHBOARD IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I PURCHASED MY MAZDA USED IN APRIL 2014 AND DIDN'T NOTICE THE DASHBOARD ISSUE (AT THE TIME I TEST DROVE IT WAS DUSK). OVER THE PAST YEAR, IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD IT CANNOT BE CLEANED OR EVEN TOUCHED. I PARK MY MAZDA IN THE GARAGE OR IN THE SHADE/USE SUNSHADES AT WORK. IN THE MORNINGS OR AFTERNOONS WHEN DRIVING ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY, THE GLARE IS SO BAD I SOMETIMES HAVE TO LIFT MYSELF OUT OF THE SEAT IN ORDER TO SEE THROUGH A PATCH OF WINDOW THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE GLARE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND THE FACT THAT MAZDA IS ALLOWING THIS TO GO ON IN LIGHT OF THE HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IS ABHORRENT, NOT TO MENTION ALL THE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS. GET WITH THE PROGRAM MAZDA BEFORE SOME GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED! *TR
