MAZDA Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING STOPPED FUNCTIONING. CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE MANUEL STEERING. A LESS EXPIERIANCED DRIVER WAS OPPERATING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. HAD HIM TURN THE CAR OFF WAIT A SHORT TIME AND START THE CAR. POWER STEERING WAS BACK. PROBLEM PERSISTED AND THE CAR IS IN FOR REPAIR. I ALSO SEE STEERING PROBLEM RECALLS ON THE 2008-2009 MODELS.

I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE MY MAZDASPEED 3 SHIFTING FROM 1ST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. I SHIFTED INTO THIRD WHERE MY SHIFT BROKE AND REMAINED IN MY HAND. MY CAR STALLED OUT IN 3RD BECAUSE I COULD NOT SHIFT OUT. I TOOK OFF THE PLASTICS COVERING THE SHIFTER AND PULLED THE PLATE BACK INTO NEAUTRAL SO I COULD PUSH MY CAR TO THE LOCAL GAS STATION. MY SHIFTER ROD SNAPPED AND THE SPRING CAME OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 MAZDA 6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLID OFF THE ROAD AND COLLIDED INTO A TREE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V382000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V354000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V593000 (SUSPENSION) AND 17V012000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY SPEED 55 MPH DROPPED VALVE BLOW HOLE IN BLOCK WHICH ALSO BLEW BIG PIECES OF THE PISTON AND BLOCK ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH COULD HAVE BOUNCED BACK INTO TRAFFIC CAUSING INJURY TO ON COMING DRIVERS OR DRIVERS FOLLOWING VEHICLE. I COLLECTED PIECES OF THE PISTON AND BLOCK ABOUT THE SIZE OF A MEDIUM SIZE HAND WELL OVER 50 YARDS BEHIND THE VEHICLE AFTER I DID AN IMMEDIATE STOP TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS FOLLOWING ME OR ON COMING TRAFFIC SO NO ONE GOT HURT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE MAZDASPEED6 OR MAZDASPEED3 VEHICLES. I WOULD RECOMMEND HAVING THESE MOTORS REPLACED WITH A BETTER BUILT ONE BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT OR WORSE DIES.

WHEN I FILL MY GAS TANK, GASOLINE GUSHES OR SPURTS OUT WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I KNOW NORMALLY THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN TANK IS FULL. THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF WHEN FUELING DOES NOT WORK. GAS ALWAYS OVERFLOWS (REGARDLESS OF WHAT GAS STATION I GO TO OR IF I HOLD THE PUMP WHEN FUELING). IT IS A MAJOR OVERFLOW. NOT A LITTLE GAS COMES OUT, A LOT COMES OUT, AND FORCEFULLY. I CANNOT FILL MY TANK MORE THAN 10 GALLONS. GAS WILL LITERALLY SHOOT OUT AROUND THE PUMP. FUEL HAS HIT MY LEGS AND FEET SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR IS ALWAYS TURNED OFF WITH THE KEY REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN FUELING.

THE WEIGHT SENSOR FOR THE FRONT SEAT IS DEFECTIVE. MY SON IS 105 LBS. HE HAS JUST STARTED SITTING ON THE FRONT SEAT. I NOTICE THAT THE "AIR BAG OFF" LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL, THE WEIGHT LIMIT IS 66 LBS ABOVE WHICH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SHOULD BE ACTIVE. MANUAL STATES THE WEIGHT ON PAGE 2-45 AND ALSO ON OTHER PAGES.
