TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA 3. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V356000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. 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. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD 4 EPISODES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. EACH TIME WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, AND SUDDENLY THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AS THE ENGINE REVVED, AND THE BRAKE WAS INEFFECTIVE AT STOPPING THE CAR. TWO OF THE EPISODES COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT QUICK EVASIVE ACTION ON MY PART. I HAVE ALSO HAD SEVERAL EPISODES OF THE ENGINE SUDDENLY REVVING ON START UP (WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL). *TR

BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDS REPLACED. BUT I MISSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY NEVER NOTIFIED ME THAT THESE WERE FAULTY

THE BRACKET WHICH HOLDS THE DRIVERS SEAT TO THE FRAME IS BROKEN. SEAT ROCKS BACK AND FORTH DURING DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLAW IN MANUFACTURING AND IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT MY SEAT WILL END UP IN THE BACK SEAT MAKING MY SEAT BELT USELESS. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DEFECT. PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL FOR MAZDA. A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX OTHERWISE. *TR

MY MAZDA 3 WILL NOT START. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE A ME A DESCRIPTION OF MY ISSUE AND RESOLUTION (MY ISSUE: BATTERY CABLE SHORTED AND SPLIT IN HALF DUE TO A DEFAULT WIRE HARNESS). I GOOGLED THE PART NUMBER AND I NOTICED A RECALL ON MY CAR RELATED TO THE SAME EXACT PART. RECALL # 09V12600 MAZDA IS NOW TELLING ME MY ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW IT HAS BEEN RECALLED. MY CONFUSION IS AS FOLLOWS; THE ISSUE IS THE SAME, THE RESOLUTION IS THE SAME, THE PART NUMBER IS THE SAME, THE VEHICLE IS THE SAME (MODEL AND YEAR). I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP IN RESOLVING MY ISSUE. MAZDA IS CHARGING $1400 FOR THE FIX, I AM LOOKING ANY HELP FROM NHTSA PLEASE, TO HELP RESOLVE MY ISSUE AND HAVE MY ISSUE BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE RECALL STATES POTENTIAL IMPACT OF 25,400 VEHICLES (LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN FOR MORE OR LESS VEHICLES). I AM LUCKY THE SHORT DID NOT CAUSE A FIRE, I NEED YOUR HELP TO ENSURE THE ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR AGAIN. LOOKING FOR ANY GOOD FAITH THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOU HELP.
