MAZDA Complaints

THE AIR BAG WORNING LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AS I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. TRUNING, GOING OVER A BUMP ETC. I WAS TOLD THEY WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THE LIGHT IS ON...

MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GAVE OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. IT IS NO LONGER WORKING. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE POWER STEERING HYDRAULIC PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS REPLACED BUT THE POWER STEERING IS STILL NOT FUNCTIONING. IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME. THERE WAS AND IS NO LIGHT LIT UP ON MY DASHBOARD INDICATING A POWER STEERING FAILURE; YET THE POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING AT ALL. THE CAR MUST BE STEERED WITH MANUAL FORCE/MUSCLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY OR WHEN STOPPED.

THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE MELTED ARE IS VERY SHINY AND STICKY AND LEAVES RESIDUE ON WINDSHIELD IF TOUCHED BY WINDOW SHADE. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY IMPROVEMENT SINCE WINDOW SHADE HAS BEEN USED. DASHBAOARD ALSO SEEMS TO BE CRACKING IN THE AREA SURROUNDING AIRBAG.

BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS, WITH HISSING SOUND. HAD TO FULLY DEPRESS PEDAL TO BE ABLE TO STOP FROM MODERATE SPEEDS OF 20-30MPH. RESEARCH INDICATES THE CX-9 HAS EXPERIENCED BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE WITH THIS SYMPTOM IN PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS.

MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE AND THEN ONE DAY AS I WAS LEAVING WORK MY CAR STARTED ACTING AS THOUGH IT WANTED TO SHUT OFF. I MADE IT ALL THE WAY HOME AND WAS GOING TO GO TO THE STORE AND MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR I TRIED TO ADD TRANSMISSION FLUIDS BUT IT SOUNDS NOT MOVE.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD BUMPING NOISE. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL WAS RUSTED OUT AND THE SHOCK TOWER WAS UNSUPPORTED.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SOUNDED LIKE I RAN OVER A LARGE PIECE OF DEBRIS AND THE CAR JOLTED. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE AND SAFELY PULLED OVER. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TRIED TO TURN IT BACK ON BUT THERE WAS NO TURNOVER. LOOKED AT IT AND THERE WAS OIL MIXED WITH METAL SHARDS AND A CRACK IN THE ENGINE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN. LET THE MANUFACTURER KNOW BUT THEY DID NOTHING TO HELP.
