MAZDA Complaints

2007 MAZDA6. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CONTACTED DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL REPLACEMENT PARTS, BUT PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. *M

WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER AND A HOWLING NOISE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND NOTHING VISIBLE NO LEAKS NOTHING. HAD MY WIFE HIT THE HAS AND NO NOISE. STARED DRIVING AND NOISE CAME BACK AND WHITE SMOKE. JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE AND NEXT OIL CHANGE DUE IN ABOUT 1000 MILES. DROVE ABOUT 20 MPH TO GET HOME CHECK OIL AND IT WAS OK. THE WHITE SMOKE MAKES ME THINK THE TURBO WENT ON MY CAR. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN OCTOBER OF 2015. IT'S BEEN BACK TO THE SHOP FOR ELECTRIC PROBLEMS WITH THE KEY AND RADIO THAT STILL NOT RESOLVED. RADIO SHUTS OFF AND BEEPS THAT KEY IS NOT IN CAR.

WHEN BREAKING I HEAR PULSATING SOUND AND VERY DIFFICULT TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN EVENTUALLY, BUT REQUIRE INTENSE PRESSURE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. THERE IS ALSO A PULSATING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. IT TAKES ABOUT TWICE THE DISTANCE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THAN PREVIOUSLY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. NO INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM ON THE DASHBOARD, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY FEEL SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH BREAKING. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN DRIVING.

CAR BECAME STUCK IN A SINGLE GEAR AND WOULD NOT REV HIGHER THAN 2000 RPM AND WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. WOULD NOT ENGAGE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN WOULD LURCH FORWARD.

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING. THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER STARTED TO LOOK SHINY. WE TOOK A CLOTHE TO WIPE IT OFF AND THE DASHBOARD IS STICKY AND ACTUALLY PEELED AND RIPPED WHEN WE TRIED TO WIPE IT. THE CONDITIONING IS SPREADING AND IS VERY STICKY. AT CERTAIN TIMES OF DAY THE GLARE FROM THE SHINEY DASHBOARD REFLECTS OFF THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD.
