MAZDA Complaints

TOTAL FAILURE OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER CAUSED LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKES AT ALL WHEELS. NO PRIOR INDICATION OF BRAKE ISSUES BEFORE TOTAL LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY. VEHICLE BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL USING MECHANICAL EMERGENCY BRAKE. REPLACED WITH AFTERMARKET MASTER CYLINDER - EXTREMELY POOR BRAKE FUNCTION AT PRESENT, BUT VEHICLE STILL IN USE WITH DIFFICULTY. *TR

AS I HIT HIGHWAY CRUISING SPEED, THE GLASS ON MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. FORTUNATELY I HAD THE SUN SHADE CLOSED. HOWEVER, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ON. PART OF THE GLASS WAS SUCKED OUT AND BLEW BACK BEHIND ME. THERE WAS NO OTHER TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD, AND NO POSSIBILITY OF THE GLASS BEING STRUCK OR DAMAGED. JUST SHATTERED. EXPLODED. WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR! *TR

I BOUGHT THIS MAZDA ON JUNE 2014 AND WAS RUNNING GREAT TILL FEW DAYS AGO WHEN THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING , I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE POWER TAKES ALOT OF ELECTRICAL POWER BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. SO I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER IN ARLINGTON FOR DIAGNOSTIC, THE RESULT WAS THAT THE PUMP HAS INTERNAL FAILURE AND THAT'S WILL COST ABOUT $1200 TO FIX IT . I HOPE MAZDA WILL FIX IT FOR ME FREE OF CHARGE SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY AND IT IS HAS TO DO WITH SAFETY . *TR

MY BOYFRIEND WAS IN A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG SENSORS WERE COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF ALONG WITH THE BUMPER AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK UP UNTIL HE CAME TO A STOP. *TR

THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE FELT HARD AND THE CAR WOULDN'T BRAKE - HAD TO PRESS VERY HARD TO BARELY AVOID HITTING ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT. ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, IT WAS SCARY AND COULD HAVE EASILY GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I AM LUCKY IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER - IT WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT NOT RECALLED. THOUGH THE DEALER WAS QUICK TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I BELIEVE THIS IS A REALLY DANGEROUS AND LIVES CAN BE LOST! I EXPECTED A DEFECTIVE BRAKING SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE INITIATED A RECALL!!! *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING, WHICH HAS MADE THE SURFACE HIGHLY REFLECTIVE. THIS RESULTS IN POOR VISIBILITY WHEN IT REFLECTS INTO THE WINDSHIELD. COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENT IF IT REMAINS AS-IS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2007 MAZDA 6I VE STARTED SHIFTING HARD AND SLIPPING. THE TRANSMISSION, AFTER CHANGING TRANSMISSION FLUID BY DEALERSHIP, HAS NOW GOTTEN WORSE. 2ND AND 4TH GEAR DO NOT WORK. 2ND GEAR IS SKIPPED AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPED INTO 3RD, AND GOING INTO 4TH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT INTO 5TH, AS 4TH GEAR DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT REV CONSTANTLY, LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. *TR

THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE WINDSHIELD IS MELTING. THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY TO THE TOUCH AND HAS A VERY GLOSSY LOOK TO IT. WHEN DRIVING DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY, THE DASHBOARD CAUSES A GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

I WENT TO HAVE NEW TIRES PUT ON THE CAR AND ON THE WAY TO THE TIRE SHOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDDLE BECAME HARD AND WAS DIFFICULT TRYING TO STOP THE CAR.AFTER THE NEW TIRES WERE PUT ON THE SAME THING ON THE WAY HOME, STILL HAS A HARD BRAKE PEDDLE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED. *TR

WE WERE JUST RETURNING FROM A TRIP OF 9 DAYS WHICH CONTAINED MANY HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY HOURS AND MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN. CAR HAS 20000 MILES ON IT. AS WE PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ONTO A CITY STREET, ALL THREE LIGHTS ( ENGINE, AUTOTRANSMISSION, AND SLIPPAGE ICON) WENT OFF AND THERE WAS A BARE MINIMUM OF POWER TO MOVE CAR FORWARD. MAYBE 5 MPH. WE DRIFTED INTO PARKING LOT, RESTARTED CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP WITHOUT INCIDENT ALTHOUGH THE LIGHTS REMAINED ON. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE PASSING A TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. IN SHOP OVER A WEEK. *TR
