MAZDA Complaints

THE HEADLIGHTS (LOW BEAM) ON MY CAR SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN. CHECKED THE FUSES AND ALL ARE FINE. HIGH BEAMS AND SIGNAL LIGHTS WORK FINE, IT'S JUST THE HEADLIGHTS. HAVE SEEN THIS SAME DESCRIPTION IN OTHER WEBSITES AS POSSIBLY THE CONTROL MODULE HAD A SHORT CIRCUIT AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON THING TO HAPPEN TO THESE CARS. MAZDA IS NOT ACCEPTING THIS AS AN "IN WARRANTY" REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MAJOR COMMON COMPLAINT. MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY ALREADY, SO I'LL NEED TO PAY THIS REPAIR OUT OF POCKET.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ABRUPTLY TURNED OFF. SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER ACTIVATING THE TURN SIGNAL THE CAR STALLED. THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO HAVE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. THE CAR THEN RESTARTED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. *TR

RIGHT REAR TIRE UNEXPECTEDLY BLEW OUT WITH NORMAL STREET DRIVING AT 40 MPH. NO HAZARDS WERE STRUCK. LOST CONTROL OF CAR. TREAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM BELT.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED IN JULY OF 2016 THAT MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED DUE TO A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY ARE VERY HIGH, SO I AM IN A HIGH RISK AREA FOR A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I CHECKED WITH MY DEALER TODAY - THEY ARE STILL AWAITING REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU REMEDY THIS PROBLEM, AS I AM PLANNING A LONG DISTANCE TRIP THIS XMAS AND I HAVE NOTIFIED MY MAZDA DEALER OF THIS.

TAKADA RECALL MY CAR IS OLDER (2009), I LIVE IN TEXAS, AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON SO I'M WORRIED!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MAZDA CX-7. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V356000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 MAZDA TRIBUTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE STEERING COLUMN EXPERIENCED SEVERE VIBRATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS REMEDIED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V282000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

TRANSFER CASE - HAD UNUSUAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE TRANSFER CASE THAT LEAD ME TO LOSE STEERING AND DRIVING CAPABILITY WHEN DRIVING TO WORK. TOOK MY CAR TO CAR DEALER AND THE TRANSFER CASE WAS GROUND DOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS RUSTING. HAD NO WATER DAMAGE AND COST OVER $4,000. SINCE HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MANY MAZDA OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCES ISSUES WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. *TR

MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. I JUMP STARTED THE CAR AND BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I STARTED FORWARD, THE POWER STEERING HAD AN INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION AND SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ACTIVATED. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND EVERYTHING RETURNED TO NORMAL. IN MY CASE, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY. HOWEVER, HAD I JUMP STARTED THE CAR ELSEWHERE, A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT FOR EXAMPLE, THE LOSS OF STEERING MAY HAVE HAD ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT THIS FREQUENTLY OCCURS IN MAZDA3S REGARDLESS OF THE YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V356000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FOR THE RECALL WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURES. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
