MAZDA Complaints

EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN (BRAKING OR JUST DECELERATING) THE LIGHTS FLICKER. THIS HAPPENS WITH HIGH OR LOW BEAMS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY, BUT AFTER REPLACEMENT THIS CONTINUED.

I'VE OWNED MY 2002 MAZDA PROTEGE5 FOR 7 YEARS NOW. IT'S ALWAYS HAD A VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING. EVEN AFTER HAVING OUT BRAND NEW BRAKES, ROTORS AND CALIPERS. I'M VERY ANAL ON HOW MY CAR LOOKS AND DRIVES. IF I FEEL SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY, I KNOW SOMETHING IS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR. IT DOES CAUSE ME TO DRIVE MORE CAUTIOUSLY ESPECIALLY IN THE BACK ROADS ALONG WITH WET PAVEMENT. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHILE BRAKING AS WELL. AS FOR THE BODY OF THE CAR, THE PAINT IS FAIDING FAST. IT'S YELLOW, AND I HAND POLISH AND WAX IT ONCE BEFORE SPRING, SUMMER, AND WINTER. I USE MAGUIRES WAX AND POLISH EVERY TIME. AND IT'S ALSO GOT A RUST SPOT ALONG THE BACK LEFT WHEEL LIP. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAINTED AFTER I PLAYED FOR THE CAR. IT WAS MAGICALLY ONLY 24 HOURS FROM THE WARRANTY COVERING IT. OTHER THAN THAT, IT'S BEEN A GREAT CAR. I WOULD PURCHASE ANOTHER IF I CAN FIND ONE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT BOTH OF THESE CONCERNS. PLEASE FIX AND I WOULD DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL IT HITS 1 MILLION MILES. AS LONG AS YOU KEEP MAINTENANCE UP ON IT, IT LAST FOREVER.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE LOWER HEADLIGHT SEVERAL TIME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SINCE PURCHASE IN 2013. TWO TIME AFTER THE BULB WAS REPLACE THE LIGHT WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT. AGAIN AS OF MAY 4, 2016 THE HEADLIGHT US NOT WORKING.

THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT 2015 MAZDA CX-5 DESIGN PROBLEM WHEN ONE OR BOTJH REAR WINDOWS ARE OPEN: THE PROBLEM IS WHEN ONE OR BOTH ARE DOWN A FEW INCHES OR MORE A VERY LOUD THUMPING NOISE WITH FEELING OF PULSING AIR CAUSING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE HEARING & POTENTIAL OF HEADACHES IF WINDOWS NOT CLOSED IMMEDIATELY. FRONT WINDOWS USUALLY UP BUT CAN BE OPENED A FEW INCHES AND THUMPING STILL VERY LOUD. THIS SITUATION HAPPENS AT SPEEDS ABOVE 25 MPH & WORSE ON HIGHWAYS. THIS SAME PROBLEM REPORTED TO NHTSA ON 9/19/2014, WITH I.D. #10637592. AS OTHER COMPLAINT NOTED MAZDA IS AWARE OF PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO & SUPPOSEDLY HAS NOT DONE ANY PROACTIVE STEPS TO FIX IT. THEY SUPPOSEDLY HAVE A KIT CONSUMERS CAN PURCHASE. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED CAR IF PROBLEM WAS KNOWN AHEAD OF TIME OR HAPPENED DURING TEST DRIVE. MAZDA IS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL TO CONSUMERS AND MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS COVER UP. THEY SHOULD RECALL ALL EFFECTED MODELS & APPLY FIX. I HOPE THE NHTSA DOES A SURVEY OF ALL PURCHASED CX-5 SINCE 2013 TO FIND OUT TRUE NUMBER OF CONSUMERS IMPACTED. IT WOULD BE NICE TO OPEN WINDOWS AS NEEDED TO LET INSIDE HEAT OUT OR TO SEE TO OUTSIDE AS NEEDED FOR SAFETY WITHOUT BEING SUBJECTED TO THUMPING SOUNDS THAT DO HURT HEARING & CAUSE FOR HEADACHES. TK

2010 MADZA3 LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. WENT TO HAVE SNOW TIRES REMOVED AFTER WINTER SEASON. ALL FOUR TPMS VALVES CORRODED AND BROKEN INTO PIECES.
