MAZDA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: I AM MAKING A COMPLAINT THAT PUTNAM MAZADA IN BURLINGAME CA WILL NOT REPAIR MY AIRBAG UNTIL APRIL 12 AT THE EARLIEST. THIS UNACCEPTABLE. THEY STATE THAT MAZDA DOES NOT MAKE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO KEEP ON SIGHT AND THEY MUST SPECIAL ORDER THEM. THIS POTENTIALLY PUTS ME IN CONTINUING DANGER FROM THEIR DEFECTIVE PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MAZDA TRIBUTE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED IN THE MORNING, THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE GEAR WAS IN DRIVE. EVEN AFTER DRIVING, WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. OCCASIONALLY, THE PEDAL WOULD RESPOND NORMALLY WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE IT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 127,000.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONSISTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V382000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V869000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 05/11/16*LJ *TR

MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO REPLACE THE FAILED (RECALLED) TAKATA AIRBAG. FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS MAZDA HAS SENT LETTERS INDICATING I HAVE TO WAIT. THE ATTACHED IS THE MOST RECENT LETTER INDICATING THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM YET. I LIKE TO FORCE THE MANUFACTURER TO PERFORM THE REQUIRED WORK SO THAT THE CAR WILL BE SAFE AGAIN. MAZDA HAS ADDMITTED TO THE FAULT, BUT IS NOT FIXING IT.. THE FAULT WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS WAS KNOWN IN 2014 AND NOW IN 2016 MAZDA STILL REFUSES TO FIX THE CAR. I HAVE ASKED THE LOCAL DEALER (DON MILLER) MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT A DATE FOR THE FIX, BUT WAS TOLD TO WAIT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR WITH A KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM, BUT HAVE NO CHOICE SINCE NO ONE WILL BUY MY CAR THAT IS NOT FIXED YET. PLEASE HELP ME AND FORCE MANUFACTURERS TO ACTUALLY PERFORM THE RECALL WORK.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STATES ON AFTER SHUTTING OF THE ENGINE. THE CAR STARTS BEEPING WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO LOOK THE CAR. LOOK LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT IS NOT GOING TO PARK COMPLETELY SO THE BATTERY DIES EVERY TIME. ,

OVER TIME, THE CLUTCH IN MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION 2004 MAZDA 6 V6 HATCHBACK HAS BEEN GETTING NOISY, DIFFICULT TO MODULATE WITH SURPRISING SLOPPY MOVEMENT IN A SIDEWAYS MOTION WHEN BEING DEPRESSED, AND HAS BEEN GREATLY WORRYING ME. UPON INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED CRACKS IN THE FORMED AND WELDED STEEL FRAME THAT HOLDS THE CLUTCH PEDAL WHERE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY BOLTS TO THE FIREWALL. I'VE ADJUSTED MY CLUTCH LINKAGE, BLED THE HYDRAULIC LINE AND ATTEMPTED TO BEND THE FRAME BACK TO SQUARE, BUT EVENTUALLY THIS FRAME IS GOING TO FAIL AND I WILL BE UNABLE TO PUSH THE CLUTCH AND CHANGE GEARS. IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, I COULD CRASH AND BE INJURED OR KILLED. IN ADDITION, THE CLUTCH PEDAL FRAME, AS IT BENDS TO THE LEFT WITH EVERY SHIFT, MAKES CONTACT WITH AN ELECTRICAL/CPU BOX MOUNTING FRAME NEXT TO THE CLUTCH, WHICH IS ADDITIONALLY WORRISOME. THIS WELDED STEEL FRAME IS MADE FROM SURPRISINGLY LIGHT GAUGE METAL AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. THIS IS A GRAVE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ALL MAZDA 6S MADE IN THE FORD AUTO ALLIANCE FACTORY IN FLAT ROCK, MICHIGAN. THIS COMPONENT SHOULD BE RECALLED!
