HELLO: THERE HAS BEEN 2 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, BOTH REGARDING AIRBAG. THE SAS UNIT RECALL HAS BEEN WITHOUT A REMEDY SINCE AUGUST 2016. THE SECOND RECALL REGARDING AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN WITHOUT A REMEDY SINCE JANUARY 2017. FOR SUCH SERIOUS SAFETY RECALLS, I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY FOR ALMOST A YEAR.
NHTSA RECALL #:16V-594, MANUF RECALL #: 9816H THE SOPHISTICATED AIR BAG SENSOR (SAS) UNIT FAILURE. THE WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE MID YEAR OF 2016. IT WAS CONFIRMED BY MAZDA DEALERSHIP 03/08/2017 THAT IT WAS ON DUE TO RESULT OF SAS UNIT FAILURE (WHEN THEY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG RECALL). I WAS TOLD THE SAS MODULE WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR TIME FRAME AND TOLD NO DATE WAS AVAILABLE YET.
THE FRONT ENGINE CRADLE/SUBFRAME, LOWER CONTROL ARMS IS RUSTED/CORRODED TO THE POINT THAT I WAS ADVISED CAR WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AND THAT IF PARTS FAILED, ENGINE WOULD FALL UNDER CAR AND I COULD LOOSE ALL STEERING/BRAKES. PER REQUEST FROM MAZDA CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHO CONFIRMED EXTENT OF CORROSION. THIS CORROSION DID NOT HAPPEN IN AN INSTANT AFTER WARRANTY BUT STARTED AND CONTINUED TO WORSEN DURING WARRANTY PERIOD. ONLY SAW THIS WHEN NON-DEALER WAS PUTTING NEW TIRES ON CAR AND NOTED EXTENT OF CORROSION.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP SINCE EARLY AUGUST 2016, WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO OF MY RECEIVING THE FIRST RECALL REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAG. ANOTHER RECALL RELATING TO ANOTHER AIRBAG WAS RECEIVED LATER IN THE YEAR. TO DATE THE DEALERSHIP AND MAZDA STILL CANNOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS THE RECALL. THE DEALER WON'T BUY IT BECAUSE OF THE RECALL AND AS A RESULT I WAS FORCED TO BUY A NEW CAR WHILE MY 2009 MAZDA6 SITS FOR 6 MONTHS IN THE SHOP AND I'M UNABLE TO DRIVE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 MAZDA 6. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS DEFECTIVE DUE TO SEVERE CORROSION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR; HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY A MAZDA REPRESENTATIVE THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN FAILURE WITH THAT PARTICULAR MODEL VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 220,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.
2009 MAZDA6 POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. THE STEERING RACK MOUNTING BOLT ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE FRAME. THE MOUNTING BOSS ON THE CROSS MEMBER FRAME (ENGINE CRADLE) IS RUSTED OUT AFTER 8 WINTERS AND 69000 MILES. THE STEERING RACK IS ONLY CONNECTED ON THE LEFT SIDE BY 2 BOLTS THAT WILL FAIL SOON. AT THAT POINT THERE WOULD BE A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHEN THE RACK BREAKS FREE OF ITS MOUNTS. I FOUND THIS AFTER NOTICING THAT THE CAR MADE A NOISE WHEN TURNING, ALSO WHILE IN PARK AND TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH, THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WOULD LIFT UP AND BACK DOWN. I INSPECTED THE FRONT RIGHT FOR A CAUSE AND FOUND THE RACK WAS LOOSE. I BELIEVE IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION.

VEHICLE WILL NOT CRANK WITH TRANSMISSION IN PARK, MUST BE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE MAY MOVE UNINTENTIONALLY WHILE STARTING IN NEUTRAL. WHEN THE SHIFTER IS PLACED IN PARK, THE TRANSMISSION IS MECHANICALLY IN PARK AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ROLL. THE DASHBOARD SHIFTER POSITION INDICATOR DOES NOT HIGHLIGHT "P" THOUGH WHEN IN PARK, AND THUS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT CRANK. TO START THE VEHICLE, I HAVE TO HAVE FOOT ON THE BRAKE, PRESS START/STOP, MOVE SHIFTER TO NEUTRAL, THEN PRESS START/STOP BUTTON TO CRANK ENGINE. UNINTENDED ROLL AWAY RISK SINCE VEHICLE IS STARTED IN NEUTRAL.
TAKATA INFLATORS!!!!! IT'S BEEN SINCE MAY 2016 AND I AM UNABLE TO HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN MY PASSENGER SEAT. I'M A FATHER AND A HUSBAND WHO NEEDS ALL THE SEATS AVAILABLE IN MY CAR. HAVE TALKED TO MAZDA USA, THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, ETC... AND NO ONE HAS A CLUE WHEN THE PROBLEMS WILL BE FIXED

TAKATA RECALL (PASSENGER) THE WEBSITE INDICATES THAT MY REPAIR IS INCOMPLETE, MEANING THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THE MAZDA SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND FOR ME TO CALL BACK IN "ANOTHER MONTH." THE SERVICE MANAGER DOES NOT ANSWER CALLS AND HE DOES NOT RETURN CALLS WHEN I LEAVE A PHONE MESSAGE. I COMPLAINED TO MAZDA AND THEY WERE EQUALLY NOT HELPFUL. I LIVE IN ZONE A AND AM UNABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE AS I NEED TO USE IT (PASSENGERS CANNOT RIDE ON PASSENGER SIDE FRONT). I HAVE ASKED TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARTS ARE IN STOCK AND I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO CALL BACK--THEY WILL NOT NOTIFY ME WHEN THE PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TALK WITH A MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER--I GET PLACED ON HOLD AND SOMEONE NEVER ANSWERS. I NEED TO HAVE THIS REMEDIED. THE LENGTH OF TIME IS RIDICULOUS, AS OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE COMPLETING THE REPAIRS.

THE SUB FRAME ON MY 2009 MAZDA 6 BROKE WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS COMING TO A STOP, WHICH NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT AT A VERY LOW SPEED TO A NEARBY SERVICE STATION. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT ON A LIFT TO SURVEY THE DAMAGE - IT HAD A SEVERELY RUSTED SUB FRAME THAT BROKE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. HE WAS ON VACATION AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 300 MILES TO OUR LOCAL MAZDA DEALER. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID "THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THIS", WE ALSO HAVE CONTACTED MAZDA, SEVERAL TIMES THEY HAVE BLATANTLY IGNORED US. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE BODY OF THE CAR HAS NO RUST !
HORN HAS ACTIVATED RANDOMLY FOR YEARS NOW, THE FIRST INSTANCE OCCURRING ON OR ABOUT JULY, 2013. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES FOR THIS. EACH TIME THEY SAID THE DOOR LATCH WAS FAULTY AND SETTING IT OFF. I HAVE HAD 3 DOOR LATCHES REPLACED WITH THE MOST RECENT BEING DONE ON 5/2015. IN AUGUST 2016, THE HORN STARTED ACTIVATING RANDOMLY AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY FOUND "CODES" ON THE 3 DOOR LATCHES THAT WERE ALREADY REPLACED! CLEARLY THERE IS A DEFECT SOMEWHERE WITH THE DOOR LOCKS OR ITS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THIS POSES A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AS A CHILD CAN OPEN THE DOOR LOCK AND FALL OUT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING IF THE LOCK IS NOT WORKING.

TAKATA RECALL MY AIRBAGS STOPPED FUNCTIONING FOR NO REASON SINCE LAST YEAR. MY CAR IS A 2009 MODEL BUT ONLY HAS 45000 MILES ON IT AND NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR WRACK. MAYBE IT'S A GOOD THING THAT IT'S NOT WORKING BECAUSE MAZDA REFUSES TO INCLUDE THIS MODEL AS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL, SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT EXPLODE IN MY FACE. I CALLED MAZDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND. TOLD ME TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC DONE, CALL THEM BACK AFTER THAT AND "MAYBE" THEY WILL COVER IT. WELL I LEFT NUMEROUS MESSAGES, THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK. WHAT MAKES ME SCARED IS THAT THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHO DID THE DIAGNOSTIC REFUSED TO EXPLAIN WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON. THEY ACTED REALLY WEIRD AND RUDE WHEN I PRESSED FOR ANSWERS. ALL THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO PAY AROUND $500 TO REPLACE A PART BUT THAT WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT MY AIRBAG WILL WORK. AND OF COURSE THAT'S AN EXTRA COST THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS MODEL IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL WHEN MANY OLDER AND NEWER MODELS HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED?
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
