MAZDA Complaints

AS I WAS DRIVING MY MAZDA CX-9, I HEARD A LOUD BANGING AGAINST THE RIGHT BACK SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE BANGING NOISE WAS EVEN LOUDER. WHEN I CHECKED THE RIGHT BACK TIRE, AT LEAST A FOOT OF THE OUTER TREAD OF THE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY MISSING DOWN TO THE STEEL. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED.

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY AIRBAGS AND I'M JUST WONDERING HOW MANY LETTERS AND WARNINGS I'M GOING TO GET BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HAD NO LESS THAN FOUR WARNINGS AND YET NO PARTS AND NO SOLUTION. THEY EITHER NEED TO FIX IT OR STOP WARNING ME ABOUT IT. I KNOW IT'S CRAP, THEY DON'T NEED TO TELL ME IT'S CRAP EVERY 4 MONTHS AND THEN REFUSE TO FIX IT.

THE POWER STEERING ON MY VEHICLE TURNS ON AND OFF. I PUSH THE POWER BUTTON TO START THE ENGINE, AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WILL BE ON, AND I CANNOT STEER THE CAR. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL TURN OFF AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES, OR SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN OFF IF I RESTART THE CAR, OR SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT BE ON WHEN I START THE CAR.

WHILE TURNING RIGHT ONTO A CITY STREET THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER BALL JOINT FAILED. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS SIGNS THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN, EG. SLOPPY WHEEL OR UNEVEN WEAR ON TIRE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE CX SERIES AND IS A CURRENT RECALL WITH THE CX9.

TAKATA RECALL: DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON WHILE DRIVING, SO FAR ON CITY STREETS. SINCE THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, CONCERNED THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH DRIVER SIDE, AS WELL.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY MAZDA 6 IS MELTING. IT'S A BIG STICKY MESS, LIKE PRIMER PAINT POURED ALL OVER IT. IF ANYTHING GETS ON IT, THERE IS NO REMOVING IT. IT CAUSES A VERY LARGE GLARE IN MY WINDSHIELD LIMITING MY VISIBILITY TO A POINT THAT IT IS DANGEROUS.
