2009 Mazda Mazda6 complaints

GARAGE KEPT MAZDA 6. WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 40 A PERSON CUT INTO MY LANE AND UNDER HARD BRAKING WE HEARD A LOUD GRINDING SOUND AND THE CAR PULLED HARD RIGHT. WE PULLED OVER AND THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEABLE. HAD IT TOWED HOME TO FIND THE SUBFRAME BROKE BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THERE WAS AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF CORROSION THERE COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE CAR.

LOSS OF STEERING DUE TO PASSENGER SIDE RUSTED SUB FRAME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION MOUNTS FRACTURED DUE TO RUST, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO A MECHANIC TO REPLACE RIGHT-SIDE INNER/OUTER TIE RODS DUE TO KNOCKING SOUND WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL ALL THE WAY TO ONE SIDE. MECHANIC GOT IT ON A LIFT AND SHOWED ME THE TIE RODS WEREN'T THE PROBLEM, IT WAS THE FACT THAT THE FRONT SUBFRAME WAS SO ROTTED THAT THE TIE RODS WEREN'T ATTACHED TO IT ANYMORE, THEY WERE JUST FREE FLOATING. MECHANIC SAID THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACE ASAP. AFTER REMOVING THE ROTTED SUBFRAME, IT WAS OBVIOUS TO SEE THAT THE LARGE AMOUNT OF RUST THAT HAD FORMED WAS DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THE A/C WASTE WATER PORT. IT'S JUST A PLASTIC OPENING STICKING OUT OF THE FIREWALL, SO ALL THE WASTE WATER IS DRIPPING/POURING DOWN FROM THE OPENING AND ENDS UP SITTING ON THE SUBFRAME AND CAUSING RUST. THERE IS ALSO AN INTENTIONAL HOLE IN THE SUBFRAME RIGHT BELOW THE WASTE WATER PORT, SO THE WATER ALSO GETS INTO THE FRAME AND TRAVELS DOWN ITS LENGTH TO SPREAD OUT ALL THE RUST AND CORROSION. I HAD TO BUY SOME HOSE CLAMPS AND A PLASTIC ELBOW AND SOME VINYL TUBING TO DIRECT THE WASTE WATER DOWN BELOW MY BRAND NEW SUBFRAME SO THAT I DON'T END UP RUSTING IT OUT AS WELL.

I USUALLY GET MY GIRLFRIENDS OIL CHANGED ON HER 09 MAZDA 6 4 CYL AT A LOCAL SHOP BUT DECIDED TO DO THE OIL CHANGE MYSELF. UPON INSPECTION WHILE WAITING FOR THE OIL TO DRAIN I NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RUST CORROSION ON THE RIGHT REAR WHERE THE SUBFRAME ATTACHES. IT'S SAD BECAUSE WE HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR A YEAR AND A HALF AND BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT IT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY CLEAN UNDERNEATH. I HONESTLY DON'T SEE THIS 2009 MAZDA PASSING INSPECTION AGAIN AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF MAZDA WILL HELP OUT. DO WE KEEP DRIVING THIS CAR AND RISKING OUR AND EVERYONE ELSE'S LIFE'S ? PHOTO IS JUST THE BOTTOM. TOP SIDE OF CROSS MEMBER IS MUCH WORSE. PLEASE HELP!!??

THE FRONT SUBFRAME BROKE DUE TO BEING ROTTED THROUGH. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING

CURRENTLY MY CAR IS STATIONARY, UNSAFE TO DRIVE, IN A REPAIR SHOP. THE FRONT SUBFRAME ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS COMPLETELY ROTTEN TO THE CORE. ALL PARTS ATTACHED (SUSPENSION, WHEEL, ETC.) TO THE FRAME ARE FALLING OFF. THE ROTTEN PART IS CHIPPING AWAY. MY CAR WAS MAKING A CLANKING, BANGING NOISE (I BELIEVED THE MUFFLER OR SOMETHING WAS LOOSE) SO I TOWED IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE REPAIR SHOP, THE MANAGER SAID SHE HAD BAD NEWS, LORD AND BEHOLD, SHE TELLS AND SHOWS ME THE FRAME. I COULD HAVE PASSED OUT. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS CAR HAD THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED IT. TO MAKE IT WORST IS THE COST TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. MY CAR IS NOT REPAIRED, MAZDA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE ISSUE WHICH IS NOT SAFE, AND MAZDA DOES NOT WHAT TO HELP WITH THE EXPENSE. NHTSA, THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH MAZDA 6 2009 MODELS; A LOT OF CUSTOMERS HAVE IDENTIFIED THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY. THE CURRENT REPAIR SHOP CANNOT FIX THE FRAME SO I MUST HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A COLLISION SHOP. I AM NOT VERY HAPPY AND I AM NOT DRIVING MY CAR. I WILL GO BACK AND TAKE PICTURES OF THE FRAME AND SEND IT TO YOU.

FRONT SUBFRAME AND ENGINE SUPPORT RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS CRACKED AND BROKEN HAD TO BE REPLACED BEFORE IT RESULTED IN CATASTROPHE LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART @ $2500 JUST TO KEEP CAR DRIVE ABLE. I'VE SINCE SOLD CAR AFTER FRAME WAS REPLACED WITH NEW OEM PART.

2009 MAZDA MAZDA6. 121000 MILES. 9.5 YEARS OLD. DRIVER SIDE OF FRONT SUBFRAME RUSTED THROUGH AND CRACKED. FIRST NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED 1/4 LEFT OF WHERE IT SHOULD BE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING STRAIGHT. HAD MECHANIC ASSESS. PAID $90 FOR ALIGNMENT. DROVE VEHICLE AGAIN. BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND HEARD POP. STEERING FELT MUCH LOOSER. DIFFICULT TO CONTROL VEHICLE. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE QUICKLY IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE PULLED STRONGLY TO ONE SIDE. WHEEL WOULD NOT CENTER. VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER MAINTAIN CONSISTENT STEERING. HAD DRIVEN AND CHECKED AT MECHANIC. DIAGNOSED RUSTED AND CRACKED SUBFRAME. MECHANIC FOUND USED SUBFRAME FROM MARYLAND. QUOTED $2000 MINIMUM FOR REPAIR. COULD BE MORE IF BOLTS WERE RUSTED HOLDING FRAME IN OR REPAIR REQUIRED WORK FROM TOP SIDE. ALL OTHER SYSTEMS ON VEHICLE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE (NO ISSUES) WITH ELECTRICAL, ENGINE, ETC. HAD HOPED TO GET 3 MORE YEARS OUT OF VEHICLE. NEW YORK STATE CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE TO RUST, BUT THIS FAILURE IS SERIOUS, COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AND SEEMS PREMATURE.

RUSTED SUBFRAME MECHANIC'S INSPECTION AT 100,000 MILES REVEALED SEVERE RUSTING OF SUBFRAME. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF IT BREAKS IT WOULD ALLOW THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION TO FALL OUT OF PLACE. I HAVE ORDERED A REPLACEMENT PART BUT IT IS UNAVAILABLE UNTIL JULY. IN THE MEANTIME, IT FEELS AS THOUGH I AM DRIVING A TIME BOMB. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE IT SEEMS ABNORMAL FOR A STRUCTURAL COMPONENT TO ROT OUT SO QUICKLY AND BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL.

THE SUBFRAME OF MY 2009 MAZDA6 COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT FROM THE INSIDE AND THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN DURING NORMAL USE. ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 2ND, A MAZDA DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY ROTORS, PADS, AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS PULLING TO ONE SIDE SO THEY CORRECTED THE ALIGNMENT. DURING THIS TIME THEY IDENTIFIED A NORMAL LEVEL OF RUST ON THE SUBFRAME BUT WAS NOT CONCERNED BY ANY OTHER SIGNS OF FAILURE. LESS THAN 10 MILES AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE SUBFRAME CRACKED, MY FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL CV AXIL DISCONNECTED AND THE CAR WAS INOPERABLE. THANKFULLY I WAS GOING ONLY 35 MPH, DOWN A STRAIGHT, PAVED CITY ROAD, AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEAR THAT AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE CAR WOULD HAVE GONE OFF ROAD OR WORSE FOR WHEN THE SUBFRAME BROKE THE CAR JERKED HEAVILY TO THE RIGHT THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED. I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDED QUALITY SERVICE AND DUE TO THE TYPE OF PHYSICAL FAILURE OF ROTTING FROM THE INSIDE THE DANGER IT POSED TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN THE CAR WAS HIDDEN. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMS ME THAT THERE IS A BACKORDER (400ISH) FOR THE PART AND THAT PARTS MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. SEARCHING ONLINE THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY SIMILAR CASES REPORTED WITH MODELS AROUND THIS TIMEFRAME. DUE TO THE TYPE OF FAILURE, NUMBER OF SIMILAR CASES, AGE OF THE CAR, TYPE OF USE, I AM SHOCKED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL.

I WAS DRIVING TO A MEDICAL APPT ON LOCAL ROADS WHEN I NOTICED A THUMPING SOUND FROM THE FRONT LEFT, AS IF THE TIRE WERE GOING FLAT. I STOPPED AND INSPECTED THE TIRE AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS, SO I CONTINUED ON TO THE APPT LESS THAN A MILE AWAY. LEAVING THE APPT I FELT THE CAR SUDDENLY PULLING SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT, AND THE DSC-OFF LIGHT CAME ON. TURNING RIGHT CAUSED A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE. I DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP THAT WAS FORTUNATELY ONLY A MILE OR SO AWAY. THEY EXAMINED THE CAR AND FOUND THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO SEVERE RUSTING OF THE FRONT SUBFRAME (RIGHT SIDE). THEY SAID THAT IF I HAD HIT A POTHOLE THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE MAY HAVE BROKEN OFF, ENDANGERING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A USED SUBFRAME, AND NEW SUBFRAMES ARE ON BACKORDER UNTIL JUNE - LEAVING ME TO FIND ALTERNATE MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION FOR AT LEAST A MONTH. LIVING IN A NORTHERN CLIMATE I EXPECT CARS TO RUST, BUT A 9 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 70,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE DETERIORATED TO SUCH A LEVEL THIS QUICKLY.

TAKATA RECALL - ASSURED BY DEALER PARTS FOR RECALL IN STOCK. DEALER KEPT ME THERE, WITHOUT HAVING THE PARTS, FOR HOURS WHILE SEARCHING FOR BILLABLE WORK. SUGGESTED $759 - $1059 UNRELATED SERVICE. CAREFUL POST-VISIT ANALYSIS INDICATED NO SUCK SERVICE NEEDED. NOW I'M WARY OF RETURNING FOR RECALL OR ANY OTHER REASON. HERITAGE MAZDA CATONSVILLE MD 21228 INVOICE #5MCS115194.

TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP TO INVESTIGATE A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM MY CAR. THE RATTLING WAS CAUSED BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HEAT SHIELD BEING LOOSE. WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING LOOKED AT THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE SUB FRAME WAS RUSTING AWAY. THIS TRANSPIRED JANUARY 18, 2018. THE REPAIR SHOP HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART WITHOUT SUCCESS. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT THE EARLIEST THEY COULD GET ONE IS THE MIDDLE OF MAY. MY INSPECTION EXPIRED THE END OF MARCH. I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT MAZDA DOESN'T HAVE THIS PART AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. I FORTUNATELY HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR.

IN SEPTEMBER 2017 WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH THERE WAS A SUDDEN AND SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL FOLLOWING A LOUD KNOCK ORIGINATING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER/SUB-FRAME WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED TO THE POINT OF BREAKING. THE STEERING RACK BECAME TOTALLY SEPARATED FROM ITS MOUNTS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RESULTING IN THE STEERING LOSS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT 85,583 MILES. SINCE THE FAILURE I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET THIS FIXED. HOWEVER, EVEN AFTER TRYING TO GET A REPLACEMENT SUB-FRAME FROM 4 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET ONE FOR THE LAST 7 MONTHS. THEY ARE BACK ORDERED AND EVERY TIME THE DATE COMES AROUND, THE DATE IS PUSHED BACK FURTHER AGAIN, AGAIN, AND AGAIN. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO MAZDA'S NORTH AMERICAN CUSTOMER SERVICE (SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER 1-1245266941) AND IN THE LAST MONTH HAVE GOTTEN NO MORE THAN WE'LL LOOK INTO WHEN A REPLACEMENT WILL BE AVAILABLE. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS FAR FROM AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS MANY OTHERS WITH THIS MODEL CAR REPORT FAILURES OF THIS EXACT NATURE. THE EMPLOYEES OF THE LOCAL MAZDA PARTS DEPARTMENTS ARE WELL AWARE OF THE COMPLAINTS AS WELL AND HAVE STATED TO ME THEY ARE SURPRISED THAT MAZDA HAS NOT INITIATED A RECALL OR TSB REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THESE FAILURES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF INJURY AND IT IS MY BELIEF THAT MAZDA IS NOT TREATING THIS SITUATION WITH THE SERIOUSNESS AND PROMPTNESS THAT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DIAGNOSED FOR A CYCLICAL NOISE IN THE ENGINE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY LANNAN MAZDA (720 ROGERS ST, LOWELL, MA 01852, (978) 454-9300) THAT THERE WAS SEVERE RUST AND SEPARATION OF THE SUBFRAME IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FRONT SUB FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT OF BRAKING AND IMMEDIATELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, REST OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS COMPLETELY CLEAN OF RUST. MAZDA CORP. HAS DENIED CLAIM TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE ADVISE.

I AM TRYING TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED BUT I CANNOT FIND A PLACE WHO WILL SERVICE OUR CAR. IT IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND WE ARE TRYING TO AVOID DRIVING IT UNTIL THE AIRBAG PROBLEM IS FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (55-65MPH) THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN PROGRESSIVELY ROTATING COUNTER-CLOCKWISE WITH THE VEHICLE REMAINING STRAIGHT. THE DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL TURNED OFF AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE ACTED AS IF IT WERE ON ICY/SLICK SURFACES NO LONGER PROVIDING SUPPORT TO THE DRIVER. THE BRAKING SYSTEM BEGAN TO STRUGGLE NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT ON THE OFF RAMP OF THE EXPRESSWAY CAUSING A FISHTAIL WITH THE ABS ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE. AT THIS POINT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REGISTERING STRAIGHT' WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED APPROXIMATELY 30 DEGREES LEFT. SOMEHOW AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 15 MPH THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHERE IT HAS A SERVICE HISTORY FOR AN EMERGENCY SERVICE INSPECTION. A TEST DRIVE WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SUPPORTED THE OWNER'S COMPLAINTS OF A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN WITH RIGHT TURNS CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT 'GRINDING'/METALLIC DRAGGING SOUND AS IF THE VEHICLE'S RIGHT UNDER-SIDE WAS CONTACTING THE GROUND. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE IN THE LIFT THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THERE WAS FRONT PASSENGER FRAME METAL CORROSION WHICH WAS BREAKING OFF IN CHUNKS. THE DEALERSHIP VOICED AWARENESS OF ANOTHER 2009 MAZDA6 WITH SIMILAR MILES (APPROXIMATELY 15,000 FEWER) HAVING NEARLY THE SAME ISSUE LAST FALL/WINTER. THE VEHICLE IN THIS REPORT HAS APPROXIMATELY 189,000 PRIMARILY HIGHWAY MILES AND IS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR ITS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL. THE AFOREMENTIONED FRAME FAILURE SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AND IS BELIEVE

SIDE MIRRORS ARE DISCOLORING CAUSING VIEWING PROBLEMS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA MAZDA6. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE ENGINE CRADLE FRACTURED AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF STEERING FUNCTION DIRECTLY AFTERWARDS. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD FRACTURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY 2009 MAZDA 6 (60,000 MILES) TO THE DEALER FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT GETS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE A YEAR FOR REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS. ON THE MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION, THEY SAID THAT THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER ENGINE CRADLE HAD SEVERE CORROSION AND RUSTED THROUGH. IF THE REPAIR IS NOT DONE AND THE WHEN, NOT IF, THE PART FAILS THE ENGINE MAY FALL OUT OF THE CAR AND THE FRONT TIRES WILL FAIL TO STEER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY LIABILITY! A CRUCIAL COMPONENT TO SUPPORT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE CAR SHOULD NOT RUST AND FAIL ON A CAR THAT HAS LESS THAN 7,000 MILES DRIVEN PER YEAR.

STEERING SAFETY ISSUE URGENT. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY LOST STEERING, FRONT END OF VEHICLE ELEVATED UPON TURNING STEERING WHEEL WHEN IT WAS STOPPED AND STATIONARY. SUBFRAME OF VEHICLE ROTTED PREMATURELY ALLOWING STEERING LINKAGE ATTACHED TO SUBFRAME TO BECOME DETACHED. VEHICLE UNSAFE AND REQUIRED TOW TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP INSPECTED VEHICLE AND REPORTED SUBFRAME NEEDED REPLACEMENT IN ORDER TO FIX SAFETY ISSUE - CAR NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN UNTIL REPAIR COMPLETE. VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED AT SAME DEALERSHIP FOR YEARS AND ISSUE NEVER REPORTED WITH SUBFRAME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITION FOR THESE VEHICLES. TECHNICIAN VERBALLY REPORTED THAT PREMATURE RUST/ROT COULD BE DUE TO LOCATION OF AC CONDENSER DRAIN LINE. SUBFRAME REPLACED WITH NEW MAZDA OEM SUBFRAME. FRIEND WITH SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR RECENTLY REPORTED SAME ISSUE WITH SUBFRAME.

ADVISED AT MOST RECENT SERVICE APPOINTMENT THAT THE 'SUBFRAME IS VERY ROTTED' AND WILL CAUSE SAFETY CONCERNS.

TAKATA RECALL-I GOT A RECALL MESSAGE IN THE MAIL. I WENT TO DEALER-MAINTENANCE AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE A COPY OF THE REPORT AT HOME. I HAD IT ( SUPPOSEDLY) FIXED AND THEN I GOT A NOTICE FROM MAZDA CORPORATE THAT IT STILL WAS NOT FIXED. I HAVE AN INTERMITTENT STEADY AIRBAG ALARM. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT 8/10/17. I REPORTED TO THE DEALER THAT I GOT A NOTICE IT HAD NOT BEEN FIXED YET. THEY SAID THEY DID FIX IT AND THE NOTICE WAS ABOUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND IT WAS A NEW AIRBAG RECALL. I ASKED WHEN THEY COULD FIX IT AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A WHILE IN ORDER TO GET THE PARTS. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE OR NOT. MY SAFETY AND MY PASSENGERS ARE AT RISK. I DRIVE PEOPLE IN MY CAR. I SENT A COPY OF THE MAINTENANCE REPORT STATING THEY HAD FIXED IT TO MY SISTER IN CASE I AM INVOLVED IN A FATALITY. I CAN FAX THE MAINTENANCE REPORT.

2009 MAZDA 6. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PASSENGER AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS

I TOOK MY CAR TO FERMAN MAZDA OF BRANDON 9809 ADAMO DRIVE, TAMPA (813) 623-6600 TO GET THE RECALL DONE. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR TWO AND HALF MONTHS. SAID THEY DID RECALL ON AIRBAG. NOW MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND DOESN'T SHUT OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY REPLACED THE PARTS THAT THEY RECALLED BUT NOW I CHECKED ONLINE IT SAYS IT WASN' AND AIRBAG LIGHT TURNED ON. NOW I KNOW THAT THEY DIDN'T DO WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS DONE.

ENGINE CRADLE BROKE, CAUSING THE STEERING TO LOCK UP. I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATLY 45 MPH STRAIGHT ON A RURAL STATE ROUTE, I BRAKED SLIGHTLY TO SLOW DOWN THEN THE CAR JUST LOCKED UP AND SLID OFF THE ROAD. HAD IT TOWED AND FOUND THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS BROKEN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL.

FAULTY E-BRAKE. E-BRAKE BUTTON HAS CORRODED AWAY AND WILL NO LONGER HOLD THE CAR IN PARK (CAR IS A MANUAL, SO THIS IS PARTICULARLY CONCERNING SINCE THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO OFFICALLY KEEP THE CAR IN PARK WHEN TURNED OFF). CAR WAS PARKED IN A STATIONARY POSITION, ON A SLIGHTLY SLANTED ROAD. CAME BACK AND CAR HAD SLIGHTLY BACKED UP INTO CAR BEHIND IT BECAUSE PARKING BREAK HAD 'LET GO'. LUCKILY SLANT WAS SMALL ENOUGH TO NOT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE CAR BEHIND MINE, AND ONLY LEFT A MINOR DENT IN MY REAR BUMPER. INSIDE OF CAR WAS HOT (IT WAS A USUAL HOT DAY) AND SEEMED AS THOUGH THE ACTUAL PARKING BREAK BUTTON, OR GLUE THAT HELD IT ON, HAD MELTED. I CAN NOW NO LONGER KEEP THE BREAK IN PARK - HAVE TO EITHER PUT IT IN FIRST GEAR, OR PHYSICALLY HOLD THE BREAK UP WITH SOMETHING UNDERNEATH, PUTTING MY CAR AND OTHER AT RISK FOR CAR ROLLING BACK.

PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME STICKY/MELTING

THE VEHICLE IS 8 YEARS OLD, HAS 133000 MILES, HAS HAD 1 OWNER, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN HOUSED IN A GARAGE. DESPITE THIS, THE FRONT SUB-FRAME ASSEMBLY IS RUSTED AND ROTTING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I ORIGINALLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO GET THE RIGHT INNER/OUTER TIE RODS AND TIE ROD BOOT REPLACED, BUT ONCE ON A LIFT A MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE PERVASIVE RUST. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THAT THE RUST/ROT WAS SO BAD THAT THE MOUNT POINT FOR THE TIE ROD ASSEMBLY NO LONGER ATTACHES TO THE SUB-FRAME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER IN A PARKING LOT AND HEARD A SCREECHING SOUND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE STEERING WHEEL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT CALLED AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS ROTTED OUT AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SWAY BAR LINK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER, MAZDA OF BEDFORD IN BEDFORD, OHIO, WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1-836240644. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICES AND HAVE TAKEN OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO CHECK ON THE REPAIR. WE HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES NOT THAT STATE IN BOLD UNDERLINED PRINT "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TORIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. NOW WE CAN NOT HAVE ANYONE USE THAT SEAT AND I SURE DON'T WANT MY GRANDSON TO BE IN A CAR SEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK SEAT FOR FEAR THAT HE COULD BE INJURED! OUR DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE THE PARTS FOR REPAIR! THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF NOW! I HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAR WHILE MY HUSBAND DRIVES THE CAR! THIS IS JUST CRAZY!!

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY ALIGNMENT GOING OUT HAD IT DONE AND A DAY LATER WENT BACK OUT. APON REVIEW IT TURN OUT THE SUB FRAME BY THE MOTOR CRADLE IS DISINTEGRATED CAUSING THE PROBLEMS WITH STEERING AND ALIGNMENT.

TAKATA INFLATORS: I RECEIVED SEVERAL RECALL NOTICES (E.G. 16V-594, 13V425000, 11V134000, 09V043000) REGARDING MY 2009 MAZDA6 ([XXX]) AND TRACY MAZDA CONDUCTED VARIOUS REPAIRS. DURING EACH REPAIR, I MENTIONED THE AIRBAG INFLATOR ALERT (SEE ATTACHMENT). AFTER SERVICE OR REPAIR WAS CONDUCTED, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RESET OR CLEARED BY THE MECHANIC. FOR A PERIOD OF ONE WEEK OF COMMUTING (HOME TO WORK OR VICE VERSA), THE INFLATOR INDICATOR DISAPPEARED. THEN IT RETURNED, DURING SHORT WARM UP, AFTER DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE, INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS/FREEWAYS, ETC. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING THE LAST RECALL/SERVICE-REPAIR PER RECEIPTS NOTATION, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAVE TO PAY $85 FOR DIAGNOSIS FEE BECAUSE THE AIR INFLATOR INDICATOR IS NOT A PART OF THE FOREGOING PROBLEM. IF INDEED THE NECESSARY REPAIRS WERE DONE RIGHT, SHOULD MY VEHICLE AIRBAG INFLATOR INDICATOR WOULD INDICATE A WARNING? IS RESETTING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR INDICATOR THE "REAL" SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM?

HEADLIGHT HARNESS COMES LOOSE FREQUENTLY, RESULTING IN LOSS OF HEADLIGHT. MUST EITHER HIT THE HEADLIGHT FORCEFULLY OR MANUALLY SECURE HEADLIGHT BY REMOVING WHEEL WELL. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE HAVE REPORTEDLY EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT. UNCERTAIN WHETHER THIS OCCURS WHILE STATIONARY OR MOVING, BUT IMAGINE VIBRATION FROM MOTION WILL KNOCK IT LOOSE AGAIN. THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN AFTER MANUALLY ADJUSTING THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT VIA THE HARNESS IN ORDER TO TURN IT BACK ON. THE RIGHT LIGHT IS DIMMER THAN THE LEFT, SUGGESTING A GROUND ISSUE.

I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE FRAME THAT HOLDS THE ENGINE IN PLACE WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT AND THAT MY ENGINE COULD FALL OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME. ALSO, BECAUSE OF THE ROT, THE ROD THAT SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE STEERING WAS NOT ATTACHED BECAUSE THE BOLTS HAD NOTHING TO ADHERE TO. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN ME DRIVING WITH MY DAUGHTER AND LOSING MY STEERING AND POSSIBLY GETTING IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AS IT IS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN PER MY MECHANIC FOR SAFETY REASONS AS WELL AS FAILING INSPECTION FRO THIS. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS I DO NOT HAVE ANY TRANSPORTATION AND I WORK FULL TIME. I CAN BE REACHED AT [XXX]. OR MY MECHANIC AT HOMETOWNE AUTO, [XXX].

TAKATA RECALL. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY IN THE CAR AND THE AREA ABOVE THE AIRBAG IN THE DASH IS OPENING UP AND PULLING AWAY FROM THE DASH WHILE STATIONARY.

TAKATA RECALL: IN LATE JUNE 2017 I MADE AN APPOINTMENT THREE DAYS IN ADVANCE TO HAVE A ROUTINE SERVICE AND TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK COMPLETED AT PERRY MAZDA OF SANTA BARBARA. ON ARRIVAL I WAS INFORMED THE REQUIRED PARTS WERE NOT IN STOCK. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED. I WAS NEVER CALLED. ON AUGUST 1, I LEFT A VOICE MAIL WITH A SERVICE TECH ASKING IF THE PARTS WERE IN. I NEVER RECEIVED A RESPONSE. IN MID-AUGUSTT, I WENT TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN PERSON. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD ARRIVE THE NEXT DAY AND THAT A SERVICE TECH WOULD CALL ME THE NEXT DAY. I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL. THE RECALL WORK REMAINS UNDONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE WHERE IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRONT SUBFRAME ASSEMBLY WAS DAMAGED DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION. BASS MAZDA (LOCATED AT 4900 DETROIT RD, ELYRIA, OH) WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

2009 MAZDA 6. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VARIOUS SAFETY RECALLS ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IT WAS REPROGRAMMED , BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DOORS AND WINDOWS WOULD LOCK, LEAVING OCCUPANTS TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE NOR WOULD THE VEHICLE START. THE HORN WOULD MALFUNCTION. THE HORN RELAY WAS TAKEN OUT DUE TO THE HORN UNEXPECTEDLY SOUNDING OFF. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VIN NUMBER WAS INVALID. UPDATED 08/23/2017*JS

SYMPTOMS: ALIGNMENT OF THE CAR WAS NOT CORRECT, STEERING WHEEL NOT CENTERED, WHEN BREAKING TIRE GRIP WAS LIMITED. RAIN EXAGGERATED THE SYMPTOMS, CAR WOULD SLIDE EASY AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP(TIRES ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION). RIGHT FRONT WHEEL CAMBER SIGNIFICANTLY OUT. VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE TIRE INDICATED CAMBER WAS NOT CORRECT. INVESTIGATION INTO POTENTIAL WEAR ITEMS WAS COMPLETED SEARCHING FOR THE POSSIBILITIES OF WORN LOWER BALL JOINT, SHOCK TOWER CONNECTIONS AND STEERING RELATED COMPONENTS. ALL ITEMS APPEARED NORMAL. FURTHER INVESTIGATION TO CONNECTIONS OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM REVEALED SIGNIFICANT CORROSION AND SEPARATION OF WELDED STEEL ON THE ENGINE CRADLE(ALSO KNOWN AS FRONT SUB FRAME/FRONT CROSS MEMBER/FRONT K-FRAME) CORROSION WEAKENED THE CROSSMEMBER SUFFICIENTLY TO ALLOW NORMAL EVERYDAY DRIVING TO BEND THE CROSSMEMBER AND CREATED THE OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND CAMBER ISSUE. CONTINUING TO DRIVE IN THIS STATE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BREAKING THE CROSSMEMBER COMPLETELY AND LIKELY AT A TIME WHEN SIGNIFICANT BREAKING WOULD BE REQUIRED. WITH THE WHEEL OUT OF ALIGNMENT ACCELERATION/BREAKING AND STEERING ARE ALL AFFECTED DUE TO THE LIMITED TRACTION FROM MISALIGNMENT. WET WEATHER DRIVING CONTROL IS ALSO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPAIRED.

VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RECALLS IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG OF MY CAR. THEY "FIXED" BOTH PROBLEMS BUT ARE STILL TELLING ME MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WON'T WORK IN AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT ME PAYING $500 FOR THEM TO REPLACE A THIRD PART OF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. IT IS CLEAR TO ME THIS ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS FAULTY AND IF THEY ARE MESSING WITH THE LIVES OF THEIR CONSUMERS BY EXTORTING SAFETY FOR MONEY WHEN THEY KNOW THE FLAW IS IN THEIR OWN INSTALLATION/PARTS THEY ARE AN UNETHICAL BRAND. IT SEEMS MORE LIKELY THAT THEY ARE INSISTING ON THIS PURCHASE IN EXCHANGE FOR SAFETY SO THEY CAN MAKE BACK SOME OF THE MONEY THAT THE PREVIOUS RECALLS HAVE COST THEM. EITHER WAY, THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE WHATEVER ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS MIGHT BE DAMAGED DUE TO MAZDA. IT IS NOT FEASIBLE THAT THREE COMPONENTS OF MY PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG HAVE GONE WRONG IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS BUT THE ONLY TWO UNDER RECALL WERE NOT THE ISSUE. THEY ARE TELLING ME THE CURRENT ISSUE REQUIRES AN REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE AIR BAG MODULE.

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE AIR BAG INDICATOR DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I JUST FINALLY HAD MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPAIRED, AFTER NEARLY A YEAR OF EFFORT AND TWO SEPARATE RECALLS. I WAS WORKING WITH DGDG AUTO GROUP, WHO OWN BOTH CAPITOL MAZDA AND STEVEN'S CREEK MAZDA IN SAN JOSE, CA. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED SINCE I RECEIVED THE FIRST RECALL IN 2016. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT IN STOCK, THAT I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE INDICATOR LIGHT TO CHANGE FROM FLASHING TO SOLID OR VICE VERSA. EVEN THE EXPERIENCE THE LAST TWO DAYS HAS BE SUBSTANDARD, BUT I WON'T LIST THE REASONS FOR THAT. I JUST WANTED TO RECORD MY EXTREME FRUSTRATION GETTING THIS GLARING SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED. I LOVE MY MAZDA, BY DGDG ARE TERRIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL- MY MAZDA MAZDA6 -2009 VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT ON IN JANUARY 2015. I WAS INJURED WITH BURNS IN MY WRIST FROM THE AIRBAG. I ALSO HAD TO GO THROUGH PT TO REGAIN MOVEMENT TO MY INJURED WRIST. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND ANOTHER CAR CUT OUT IN FRONT OF US AND HIT MY CAR. I WAS NOT CITED IN THE POLICE REPORT THE OTHER PARTY WAS.
