THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT BY 2001 MAZDA PROTEGE A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND WAS NEVER SENT ANYTHING ABOUT ANY RECALLS. AFTER PULLING A CAR FAX REPORT THERE IS 5 RECALLS ALL HAVING TO DO WITH HEADLIGHTS. I'VE RECEIVED A TICKET FOR NO HEADLIGHTS ON WHEN THEY WERE ON AND WAS RECENCTLY IN A CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO NOT SEEING THE OTHER VEHICLE . THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE IS ON THE FRONT END INCLUDING DAMAGING MY RADIATOR WHICH NEEDS TO REPLACED, BUMBER AND GRILL. I HAD ONLY LIABILITY INSURANCE ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY ONLY WOULD PAY FOR THE OTHER CAR THAT WAS HIT. WHY WAS I NEVER INFORMED OF RECALL ISSUES? I'VE ALREADY PAID FOR THE NO HEADLIGHT TICKET AT NIGHT AND I'M FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THEY WERE ILLUMINATED. PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME I HAVE NO RECALL ISSUES BECAUSE I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND HAVE 5 RECALLS ALL TO DO WITH LIGHTS WHICH CAN RESULT IN A CRASH. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TURNING WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURED AT NIGHT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS STICKY AREA THAT CANNOT BE CLEANED. GLARE FROM THE SUN OR LIGHTS MAKES IT VERY HARD TO SEE. IT'S LIKE LIGHT SHINNING OFF OF GLASS.

ONE MILE FROM HOME THE SMART BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION & FRONT RADAR SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WAS DISPLAYED. CAR WAS SHAKING AND ACTING AS IF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ACTIVE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. CAR WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE. HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. PULLED OVER TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. CAR WAS OKAY THE REMAINDER OF MY 20 MILE DRIVE.

HEADLIGHT BULBS GO OUT OFTEN, HAVE TO BANG ON THE LIGHT TO GET IT TO GO BACK ON, I CAN CHANGE BULBS AND IT WILL GO A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE IT STARTS TO GO OUT AGAIN. HAVE TO TAKE THE BUMPER OFF TO CHANGE THE LIGHT BULB SO IT IS A HASSLE. AFTER CHECKING THE INTERNET I SEE THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF MAZDA OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN SUMMER 2016 ADVISING ME OF THE RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG. THE LETTER INSTRUCTED ME TO NOT CARRY ANY PASSENGERS UNTIL THE AIRBAG IS FIXED. AS OF TODAY (2/11/2017), THE NHTSA "LOOKUP" PAGE SAYS "RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG. HOW DO I DISABLE MY PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG?

TAKATA RECALL (?) AIR BAG FAULT INDICATOR FLASHES CONTINUOUSLY. REPLACEMENT PART (CONTROL MODULE) IS NOT AVAILABLE, AND THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AMONG ALL EARLY MIATA'S. MIATA BLOGGERS RECOMMEND "SNIPPING THE RED WIRE LEADING INTO THE MODULE (LOCATED NEAR STEERING COLUMN) TO ELIMINATE THE ANNOYING FLASHING LIGHT. NO WAY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE AIR BAGS ON THESE CARS ARE INOPERABLE. ITS A FIRST GENERATION MIATA WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

2008 CX-9 WITH 110,000 MILES TRANSFER CASE FAILURE WITH PROBABLE DAMAGE TO TRANSMISSION. PROGNOSIS WAS MADE DURING REPAIR OF LEAKING REAR AXEL SEALS WHEN MECHANIC NOTICED "CHUNKS OF METAL" IN THE THE TRANSFER CASE.

TURBO LEAK CAUSING LACK OF POWER. THIS PROBLEM SAID TO COST 2300 DOLLARS AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. THE MECHANIC SAID IT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. IT IS ALL OVER INTERNET THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MOST OWNERS. WHY. I RECALL?
