MAZDA Complaints

THERE IS AN ISSUE WHEN USING THE BRAKES WHERE THERE'S A LOSS OF POWER ASSIST MAKING THE BRAKES REALLY HARD TO PUSH AT TIMES, A SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY WITH SUPER SPONGY PEDALS, AND A STRANGE, HISSING NOISE COMING FROM THE PEDAL AREA. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN CONCURRENTLY WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY OR HIGHWAY AND WHENEVER THE CAR IS IN REVERSE OR DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA 3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CAME TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE MAIN FUSE HAD SHORT CIRCUITED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V126000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 144,000.

THE TIRES ON THIS CAR WORE OUT BY 30000 MILES AND THEY GOT EXTREMELY LOUD SOONER THAN THAT. I HIT A NAIL AND 2 DIFFERENT TIRE SHOPS REFUSED TO REPAIR THE TIRES BECAUSE OF UNEVEN TREAD WEAR. I ALWAYS TAKE THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE ON TIME. I WENT TO THE MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE AND FOUND THE SAFETY AND QUALITY CUSTOMER RATINGS ON THE STOCK TIRES ARE EXTREMELY LOW. I HAVE NOTICED THE CAR DID NOT HAVE VERY GOOD TRACTION FROM THE START FORCING ME TO GO BELOW THE RECOMMENDED SPEED LIMIT ON TURNS. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO ASK IF THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TIRES AND THEY SAID NO, BUT THEY DID VOLUNTEER THAT THOSE TIRES WERE SPECIALLY ORDERED FOR THAT MODEL CAR TO MAKE IT APPEAR TO HAVE BETTER FUEL ECONOMY. THE FUEL ECONOMY DROPPED A BIT ONCE I HAD SAFER TIRES INSTALLED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MAZDA IS USING CHEAP UNSAFE TIRES TO ARTIFICIALLY INFLATE THE FUEL ECONOMY WINDOW STICKER AT THE EXPENSE OF CUSTOMER SAFETY.

MANUAL SHIFT LEVER CAME DETACHED WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. CAR STUCK IN 4TH GEAR. I WAS UP SHIFTING WHEN IT HAPPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA MAZDA5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS THE ENGINE WAS IGNITED, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 155,000.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE SUV CONSIDERS THE THROTTLE BODY TO BE CLOSED. ITS CLEAN AS A WHISTLE AND CAN BE MOVED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. FORD ESCAPES HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND USE THE SAME PART. ITS COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY. THIS PROBLEM CAUSES THE CAR TO GO INTO LIMP MODE AND LOSE ALL POWER WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED. COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

2 TPMS SENSOR VALVE STEMS WERE CORRODED, WHILE FILLING THE TIRES WITH AIR THE STEMS BROKE OFF CAUSING TIRES TO GO FLAT. THE REMAINING 2 DID NOT LOOK ANY BETTER. HAD TIRE DEALER REPLACE ALL 4 AT $280 DOLLARS

I JUST BUY BUT THE ENGINE MAKE A NOISE LIKE DIESEL, MECHANIC SAY IS THE TIMMING CHAIN AND COMPONENTS AND VVT VALVLE

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. I WAS HIT IN THE RIGHT SIDE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THAT THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT HITTING THE CENTRAL METAL BARRIER OF THE ROAD IN THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. THE VEHICLE MADE A 360 DEGREES TURN AND HIT THE BARRIER AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE. FINALLY, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN THE CENTER LANE (THIS IS A THREE LANE HIGHWAY). ACCORDING TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY THIS VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS. NOW COMES THE WORST PART. OF THE FOUR AIRBAGS, TWO IN THE FRONT, TWO SIDE CURTAINS, ONLY THE RIGHT CURTAIN ACTIVATED. THE THREE OTHER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. LUCKLY, THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL HARM TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER OR TO ME, BUT THE MENTAL ANGUISH IS UNBEARABLE. MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS NOT MENTALLY PREPARED TO DRIVE AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA CX9. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V451000 (SUSPENSION). THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
