2015 Mazda Mazda6 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED ON AND OFF AND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

AFTER STOPPING, THE CAR DOES NOT POWER OFF ALL THE WAY, DASHBOARD AND RADIO ARE STILL ON. IT HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY AND IN SOME CASES I WASTE A LOT OF TIME TO TRY THIS 10-20 TIME BEFORE IT ACTUALLY TURNS OFF. ON SOME OCCASIONS, I DID NOT HAVE MUCH TIME AND I LEFT IT THAT WAY AND I COULD NOT CLOSE THE CAR AND AFTER FEW HOURS THE BATTERY DRAINED AND I COULD NOT START THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE BRAKES IN MARCH OF 2018. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE INITIAL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED BY BRADSHAW MAZDA SERVICE (2512 LAURENS RD, GREENVILLE, SC 29607, (864) 458-3500). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO WANTED TO CHARGE THE CONTACT A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,172.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2015 MAZDA 6. WHILE TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT 60 MPH HIGHWAY, MY SUNROOF WINDOW SUDDENLY EXPLODED, WITH A LOUD "BANG!". THE WINDOW WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME AND HAD NOT BEEN OPENED IN APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS. FORTUNATELY, THE INTERIOR DEFLECTOR (SLIDING COVER) WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME, OR GLASS SHARDS WOULD HAVE RAINED DOWN ON MY FACE AND HAIR. NO OBJECTS OR SUDDEN MOTIONS PROVOKED THE EXPLOSION. POLICE WOULD NOT WRITE A REPORT BECAUSE THERE WERE "NO SUSPECTS OF VANDALISM" AND "NO COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR PROPERTY". $725 LATER, I HAVE A NEW REPLACEMENT WINDOW FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND HOPE FOR NO SIMILAR FUTURE INCIDENTS OR POSSIBLE MOLD/MILDEW ISSUES. THE CAUSE OF THE SAFETY RISK IS UNKNOWN BUT IS CERTAINLY UNACCEPTABLE, GIVEN THAT I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS AND AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF ONLY 3 YEARS. I HAVE REPAIR INVOICES, SHOULD THEY BE NECESSARY TO SUBSTANTIATE THIS COMPLAINT.

VEHICLE HAS HAD 3 WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENTS IN JUST THREE YEARS OF USE AND OWNERSHIP. THE WINDSHIELD DESIGN SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY FRAGILE AND INDUCES SAFETY RELATED SENSOR FUNCTION ANOMALIES. MY GRAND TOURING MODEL IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH A BOSE SPEAKER SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES POPPING FROM A FAULTY SPEAKER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES.
