MAZDA Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MAZDA B-SERIES TRUCK. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V048000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CAVALIER MAZDA DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY DUE TO PARTS BEING ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT GETS HARD TO PUSH LIKE PRESSURE IS BUILT UP AND YOU CAN'T STOP. WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FULLY TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, YOU HEAR A HISSING SOUND AS IF AIR WAS LETTING AIR OUT OF THE TIRES. THE RESPONSE FOR SLOWING TO A STOP [WAS] MUCH LONGER AND UNLESS YOU PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THE VEHICLE ROLLS. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MAZDA TRIBUTE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE SHOCK MOUNT HAD DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,826. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THEN IT STARTED MAKING NOISES SOUNDING LIKE BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK END FIRST YOU WOULD ONLY HEAR THEM WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT THEN STARTED HEARING THEM IN REVERSE THEN YOU HEARD THEM WHILE DRIVING ALL THE TIME ON THE HIGHWAY BACK ROADS AND PARKING SOUNDED AS IF MY TIRES WERE GOING TO FALL OFF!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:16V593000 (SUSPENSION) WAS RECEIVED IN AUGUST OF 2016. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER (QUINCY MAZDA IN QUINCY, MASSACHUSETTS) AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT TURN OFF AUXILIARY POWER WHEN PUT IN PARK AND ENGINE IS TURNED OFF. RADIO AND AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS CONTINUE TO RUN. I NEED TO START ENGINE, MOVE CAR BACK AND FORTH TWO OR MORE TIMES, PUT IN PARK AND PUSH IGNITION BUTTON AGAIN TO TOTALLY SHUT OFF POWER. THIS MAY HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, THEN NOT OCCUR FOR WEEKS AT A TIME. MY CAR IS ALWAYS PARKED ON A LEVEL SURFACE WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I AM POSITIVE THE CAR IS IN PARK, AND TYPE OF WEATHER DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE.IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MAZDA VEHICLES, AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. MY MAZDA DEALER TOLD MY MECHANIC THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL CARS IN ONE WEEK COME IN WITH THIS COMPLAINT.
