MAZDA Complaints

CRUISE QUIT WORKING, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED FLASHING AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. CAR DECELERATED AND I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED CAR OFF AND THEN IT WOULDN'T START. WAITED ABOUT 10 MIN AND RESTARTED SUCCESSFULLY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STILL ON. DROVE ANOTHER 70 MILES GOING IN AND OUT OF LIMP MODE WITH DASH LIGHTS FLASHING ON & OFF. TOOK TO DEALER AND REPLACED THE ANGLE (SP?) SENSOR IN STEERING WHEEL. DEALER RESET ALL CODES AND IT'S DONE IT TWICE SINCE GETTING CAR BACK, DEALER CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. HAVE TO GO IN AND HAVE THE CODES RESET EVERY TIME TO GET IT BACK TO RUNNING AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL MAZDA DEALER SHORTLY AFTER BEING NOTIFIED OF THE JANUARY 29, 2016 RECALL 9116A (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V-048). THEY INFORMED ME THEY WOULD BEGIN REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS DURING THE MARCH TO JUNE 2016 TIME FRAME. TO DATE I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED BY MAZDA TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE REPLACEMENT.

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BROKE AT WELDED ATTACHMENT POINT TO ADJUSTER RAIL. MY SON'S DRIVER SEAT WAS ROCKING, I THOUGHT THAT THE LOCKING WASHER HAD FALLEN OFF AND WENT TO REPLACE, WHEN I REMOVERED THE SIDE COVER I DISCOVERED THAT THE BRACKET THAT ATTACHED THE SEAT TO THE ADJUSTER FRAME HAD BROKEN. SEARCH THE WEB AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MAZDA 3. WHEN TO DEALER AND DISCOVERED THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SUBFRAME WHICH COST $300 FOR THE PART AND $300 FOR THE LABOR TO INSTALL IT. MAZDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND ALSO REIMBURSE EVERYONE WHO HAD TO REPLACE THE POORLY CONSTRUCTED PART

SUMMARY: INSUFFICIENT CORROSION PROTECTIVE COATING WAS APPLIED TO THE ENDS OF THE EXTERNAL CYLINDERS OF THE REAR HATCH/LIFT GATE GAS STAY DAMPERS (LIFT SUPPORTS). IF WATER CONTAINING ROAD SALT ENTERS, IT CAN CAUSE CORROSION. OVER TIME, INCREASED CORROSION MAY EVENTUALLY CAUSE IT TO BREAK AS THE REAR HATCH OR LIFT GATE IS OPENED. SAFETY RISK: THE REAR HATCH OR LIFT GATE MAY DROP SUDDENLY, AND/OR THE BROKEN PARTS MAY HIT THE CUSTOMER, CAUSING INJURY.

THE FUEL LINE INPUT NIPPLE, ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY, CRACKS AND CAUSES A LEAK. THE FUEL PUMP LOCK RING IS NOT THE PROBLEM AND CAN BE REUSED. REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY FIXES THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY COMMON ON ALL 2004-2008 MODELS.
