DRIVER SEAT COLLAPSES BACKWARDS WHEN REAR-ENDED WHILE STATIONARY ON INTERSTATE AND REMAINS FULLY RECLINED AFTER COLLISION. ATTEMPTS TO RETRACT THE SEAT INTO NORMAL DRIVING POSITION IS UNSUCCESSFUL AS THE SEAT NO LONGER LOCKS INTO POSITION. THE ONLY POSITION WHERE THE SEAT LOCKS INTO PLACE IS IN THE FULLY RECLINED POSITION.

ON 8/10/16 I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION NUMBER 16V-593 FROM NHTSA STATING THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS ON THIS VEHICLE MAY BE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. MAZDA HAS TO THIS DATE DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS AND REMEDY THIS PROBLEM.

SINCE WE HAD THIS CAR, WE'VE HAD TO REPAIR THE ENGINE OXYGEN SENSOR AT LEAST 2 TIMES. WHY THIS CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION WE DON'T KNOW, BUT AT SOME POINT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A FAULTY ENGINE/ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PART.
