MAZDA Complaints

THE CAR SOMETIMES HAS A DELAY BETWEEN GOING FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE. DURING THE DELAY, THE ENGINE REVS UP AND THEN IT LURCHES FORWARD. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY WITH A LONGER TIME BEFORE THE ENGINE ENGAGES. THIS ALSO OCCURRED AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN (AND STAYING IN DRIVE THE ENTIRE TIME.) THE CAR HAS ~12,000 MILES ON IT BUT THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SOON AFTER I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER WITH LESS THAN 10 MILES ON THE ODOMETER.

THE CAR WE PURCHASED FOR MY 20 YEAR OLD SON IN JANUARY 2016 HAS HAD SEVERAL REPEATED TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND A DEFECTIVE SUN ROOF. AFTER THREE WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP, THE CAR'S AT CODE APPEARED AND THE CAR BROKE DOWN ON TWO OCCASIONS AND WAS TOWED TO RUSS TRANSMISSION IN TOUGHKENNAMON, PA. AS A RESULT AND TO OUR SHOCK AND DISMAY, IN FEBRUARY, THE CAR HAD A $2800 REBUILT TRANSMISSION INSTALLED. CONVERSELY, AFTER SIX RETURN VISITS TO THE TRANSMISSION MECHANIC, HE HAS REPLACED THE CELLENOIDS, THE COMPUTER AND ASSOCIATED WIRES. HOWEVER, THE CAR CONTINUES TO CODE "AT" WITHIN 3 DAYS OF EACH OF THE 6 RETURN VISITS TO THE MECHANIC.! LIKE THE TRANSMISSION MECHANIC AND MY 21 YEAR OLD SON, WE ARE BOTH FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY WITH MAZDA AND THE VEHICLE! PLEASE PROVIDE A SOLUTION OR ASSIST US WITH THIS FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST MAZDA. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU. THANK YOU [XXX] [XXX] *DL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*JB

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BULBS GO OUT AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR. SOMETIMES THEY WILL START WORKING AFTER HITTING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR.

FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AND PITTED AT 31,000 MILES. WE HAD THEM REPLACED IN MARCH 2016. IN DECEMBER 2016, (37,000 MLS) WE HAD INTERMITTENT RUMBLING IN THE BRAKES - PARTICULARLY BRAKING AT 50 + MPH. ALL THE NEW ROTORS WARPED AND WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. HAVE OTHER OWNERS REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES?. ARE THE BRAKES FOR THIS MODEL OF CAR UNDERSPECIFIED? IS THE STEEL OF POOR QUALITY?

I BOUGHT MY MAZDA 6 SECOND HAND, AND I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE SUN GETS HOT THE DASHBOARD STARTS LITERALLY MELTING. THE SMELL WHEN IS HOT IS LIKE SOME KIND OF CHEMICAL. ALSO THE SHINY SURFACE INTERFERE WITH THE DRIVERS VIEW.

PASSENGER DASHBOARD MELTING, EXTREMELY STICKY, LACK OF PARTS FROM MAZDA TO REPLACE.
