MAZDA Complaints

THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS MELTING AND STICKY TO TOUCH. THE REFLECTION FROM THE MELTING MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD PICTURES TAKEN OF THE PROBLEM. ALL THEY SAID TO WAIT FOR A LETTER AND THE PART IS NOT IN. IT HAS BEEN 7 MONTHS SINCE I FIRST REPORTED IT.

SIMILAR TO OTHERS, STARTED HEARING A KNOCKING/RATTLING IN THE RIGHT REAR. UPON INSPECTION THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL WELL IS RUSTED OUT, AND THE KNOCKING CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. SIMILAR TO THE RECALL BY MAZDA FOR 2001 - 2004 MODELS. CAR WILL BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY MAZDA.

NTSB: 2016 MAZDA CX-5. CONSUMER STATED THE CHROME TRIM ON THE VENTILATION OUTLET CAUSES A REFLECTION IN EXTREME WEATHER WHICH BLOCKS THE VIEW IN THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR. *SS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V345000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN DECEMBER OF 2015. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE UNAVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME TO RECEIVE THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. DURING HIGHER HUMIDITY TEMPERATURES, THE VEHICLE'S ALARM RANDOMLY ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THIS ISSUE WOULD AFFECT THE AIR BAGS. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A MANUFACTURER'S REPAIR FOR AN UNRELATED FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

2013 MAZDA CX-9. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS RECALL NOTICE AND VEHICLE SUN VISOR ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE SUN VISOR NO LONGER STAYS IN PLACE. *JB

BOUGHT NEW CAR; DRIVEN LESS THAN 400 MILES; THUDDING NOISE NOTICED PRETTY MUCH FROM DAY 1. GOT LOUDER. TOOK IT IN. THE RIGHT REAR HUB, AND BEARING ASSEMBLY WERE FAULTY AND HAD ALSO DAMAGED INNER DISC. THE DEALER FIXED IT BUT ASSURANCE OF "FAULTY PART, DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH MAZDA" NOW DOES NOT RING TRUE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME HAD I BEEN DRIVING LONG DISTANCE, FOR WHICH THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED.

VEHICLE HEADLIGHT FAILED DUE TO FAULTY SEAL ALLOWING MOISTURE TO ENTER THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I BROUGHT THE HEADLIGHT INTO THE DEALER WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I NOTICED MOISTURE IN THE HEADLIGHT BUT BEFORE IT FAILED. MY CLAIM WAS DENIED STATING THAT IT WAS A COSMETIC ISSUE. NOW THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COSTS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO CORRECT. RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR WARRANTY CLAIM AVOIDANCE AND FAILED HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES.

I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH UP A SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND STARTED SHAKING. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, TIRE MONITORING, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALL CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME. THE ENGINE DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER EVEN WHEN I PRESSED ALL THE WAY ON THE ACCELERATOR I COULDN'T GET IT TO GO ANY FASTER THAN 45MPH.

TIMING CHAIN CAUSED BENT VALVES AND HEAD NEEDED TO BE FIXED. STUPID DESIGNED ENGINE. MAZDA WON'T RECALL HUNDREDS OF CARS AFFECTED BY THIS. NEVER BUYING A MAZDA AGAIN.
