TAKATA RECALL, MY ALARM KEEPS GOING OFF RANDOMLY ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY EACH DAY. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS DISCONNECTING MY BATTERY WHILE I'M NOT DRIVING IT WHICH IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG PROTECTOR IS ALSO MELTING. FURTHERMORE, I HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE ROTORS BEFORE 100,000 MILES WAS REACHED BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY AT ANY SORT OF BRAKING SPEED
"TAKAO A RECALL". I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THIS RECALL IN JULY OF 2016. IT TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE LOCAL DEALER HAD PARTS TO FIX THE DEFECT. IN JULY OF 2017 I HAD MY CAR AT THE DEALER FOR OTHER REPAIRS AND I ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT.

TAKATA RECALL THERE HAVE BEEN 3 RECALLS WITH THIS VEHICLE I BOUGHT NEW; TAKATA IS 1 OF THE 3: 1. TAKATA AIRBAGS: METAL SHRAPNEL IN AIRBAGS WHEN DEPLOYED, REPORTEDLY 2. DOOR LOCK SCREWS ARE UNSAFE; NEED TO BE CHECKED/REPLACED; 3. DASHBOARD HAS BEEN RECALLED DUE TO TURNING INTO A STICKY NASTY LOOKING MESS. THE WHOLE RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER SIDE) HAS BECOME SO STICKY THAT DUST, CLOTH, EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT, AND IT CANNOT BE CLEANED. WHAT'S REALLY AWFUL IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR NOW NO LONGER SELLS MAZDAS. THE FIRST 2 SITUATIONS ARE DANGEROUS; & THE 3RD IS HORRIBLY UNSIGHTLY. MAZDA HAS SENT OUT RECALLS FOR ALL 3. WHERE DO I TAKE THIS CAR?

ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 24TH THE SUB-FRAME OF THIS CAR BROKE WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT. WE DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS THE SUBFRAME. ALL WE KNEW WAS THAT THERE WAS NO CONTROL OF THE CAR AS IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. AS WE WERE LEAVING TOWN THE NEXT DAY, WE DROPPED IT AT OUR REGULAR REPLACE PLACE. WHILE WE WERE OUT OF TOWN, THEY REPAIRED THE CAR. WHILE WE WERE OUT OF TOWN, WE WERE IN CONTACT WITH THE REPAIR PEOPLE. THEY ORDERED AND REPLACED THE PART.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET. THERE ARE TWO RECALLS BUT NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME ABOUT THEM.
HEADLIGHTS GO OUT ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE FAR TOO OFTEN. SOMETIMES A THUMP TO THE LIGHT COVER OR BODY BY THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WILL TURN THE LIGHT BACK ON. THE LIGHTS WILL EVENTUALLY BURN OUT FAR TOO OFTEN AS WELL. I HAVE REPLACED ABOUT 7 HEADLIGHTS SINCE BUYING NEW. IT IS DANGEROUS AS BOTH LIGHTS HAVE GONE OFF AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. LIGHT WILL GO OFF WHILE DRIVING AND SOMETIMES NOT TURN ON WHEN STARTED. THERE ARE EVEN YOU TUBE VIDEOS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FROM ABOUT A YEAR AFTER NEW PURCHASE.

MAZDA'S RECALL INFORMATION ON ITS WEBSITE STATES, AND I'M PARAPHRASING, THAT WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT' BEEN ALMOST TEN MONTHS, WHEN IS THIS REMEDY FORTHCOMING? AM I REALLY NOT SUPPOSED TO CARRY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY PASSENGER CAR FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW? ARE THERE ANY OTHER FINANCIAL OR MECHANICAL REMEDIES AVAILABLE? THE CONSTRAINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CARRY PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT RESULTS IN THIS PERSONAL PASSENGER VEHICLE BEING USELESS IN MANY SITUATIONS IT WAS PURCHASED FOR. CAN YOU DIRECT ME WITH ANY ALTERNATIVES THAT I CAN PURSUE?

TAKATA RECALL-WE BOUGHT A MAZDA 6 GRAN TOURING CAR IN 2010, VIN# [XXX]. IT CURRENTLY HAS ONLY 65,060 MILES. ON JULY 2016 WE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MAZDA CORP. DECIDED THAT A PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR DEFECT EXISTS IN OUR CAR AND THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ESPECIALLY FOR CARS IN CENTRAL FLORIDA BECAUSE OF CONSISTENT HIGH HUMIDITY. IN AUGUST WE TOOK THE CAR TO JENKINS MAZDA IN OCALA WHERE WE BOUGHT IT. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD TRY TO EXPEDITE THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.IN SEPTEMBER THE REPLACEMENT STILL HAD NOT COME SO THEY ASKED US TO STORE THE CAR WITH THEM. OUR CAR WAS THERE AT THE JENKINS MAZDA CAR LOT FOR MORE THAN 3 MONTHS. WE DID NOT USE THE CAR BECAUSE WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. AAA CAME TO THE HOUSE AND TESTED THE BATTERY AND THEY CONCLUDED THAT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT USED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, WE NOTICED THAT THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WAS GIVING A MESSAGE ?A PROGRAM CANNOT BE READ. PLEASE CONSULT DEALER.? WE CALLED [XXX] AND THEY SAID COMEBACK AND WHILE REPLACING THE AIR BAG PART THEY WOULD FIX THE NAVIGATION SCREEN.ON JANUARY 17 2017 THE PART WAS REPLACED, BUT THEY COULDN?T FIX THE NAVIGATION SCREEN. THEY THEN SAID THAT THEY WOULD TALK TO THEIR SERVICE REP IN JACKSONVILLE ABOUT IT.ON FEBRUARY 10 AFTER TRADING MANY PHONE CALLS WITH THE [XXX] SERVICE MGR. IN OCALA, HE SAID THAT AFTER TALKING TO HIS SERVICE REP IN JACKSONVILLE THE REP FELT THE SCREEN IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY WOULDN?T REPAIR IT BUT
TAKATA INFLATORS. WE ARE A ONE CAR FAMILY AND OUR MAZDA AIRBAG WAS SLATED TO BE REPAIRED IN NOVEMBER BUT WE STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY INFO WHEN THE PARTS ARE GOING TO BE AVAILABLE. WE COULDN'T EVEN TAKE OUR CAR ON OUR HONEYMOON IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR. I KNOW OF OTHER COMPANIES SUCH AS HONDA WHO ARE RENTING CARS FOR THERE CUSTOMERS AND MAZDA ISN'T EVEN REACHING OUT TO OUR FAMILY BUT THEY ARE STILL TAKING OUR MONTHLY PAYMENT. I KNOW WE AREN'T THE ONLY FAMILY AFFECTED BY THIS BUT THIS IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG AND INCONVENIENCING US IN A BAD WAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. WE ARE CONCERNED AND FRUSTRATED BY THE LACK OF ANSWERS.
PASSENGER DASHBOARD MELTING, EXTREMELY STICKY, LACK OF PARTS FROM MAZDA TO REPLACE.
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT LAMPS WORK INCONSISTENTLY. THEY STOPPED WORKING WHEN VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND TURNED OFF. THEY WORKED WHEN I LAST USED CAR, BUT STOPPED WORKING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER 3.5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, AND MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO COLD WEATHER. SEVERAL FIRM RAPS ON THE LENS SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, BUT MANY PEOPLE WONT KNOW ABOUT THIS AND WILL TAKE CAR IN FOR SERVICING BY MAZDA BECAUSE REPLACING LAMP REQUIRES YOU TO REMOVE WHEEL AND WHEEL WELL IN ORDER TO GET ACCESS TO THE LAMP. A DISHONEST MAZDA DEALERSHIP WOULD MAKE LOTS OF MONEY ON THIS! MANY PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUE AS DOCUMENTED IN THE COMMENTS IN THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO - HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UQQPERRESA8
MY PASSENGER AIRBAG COVER HAS A CRACK GOING OVER THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. IT WAS NOT THERE ONE DAY, AND THE NEXT DAY IT HAD A HUGE CRACK IN IT,AFTER A VERY GOOD WINTER NIGHT. THE CRACK,IS GETTING WIDER. I'M AFRAID THE AIR BAG IS GOING TO,DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I WENT TO CHECK ON SAFERCAR.GOV SINCE I RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING MAZDA WOULD BE REPLACING THE DASH DUE TO GLARE CONDITION POTENTIAL (2015) TO FIND UPDATED STATUS AND ALSO FOR AIR BAG. THE AIR BAG ISSUE IS STILL INCOMPLETE FOR OVER 7 MONTHS. BY VIN LOOK-UP, I FIND TWO ADDITIONAL RECALLS FOR DOOR LATCH AND FUEL TANK IN WHICH I WAS UNAWARE. DATE ON THIS COMPLAINT REFLECTS FIRST CONTACT FROM MAZDA. ALSO, 4 INTERIOR ITEMS BROKEN, INCLUDING A CRACKED REAR-VIEW MIRROR. *TR
TAKATA RECALL: CALLED MAZDA TO HAVE THE ARIBAG RECALL I RCVD REMEDIED BOOK THE APPOINTMENT THEN RECEIVED A CALL MOMENTS LATER THAT NO MAZDA HAS THE PARTS YET TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN WITH SLIGHT VIBRATION, OR KNOCK THAT CAN BE CAUSED BY EITHER A POTHOLE, BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR SPEED BUMP. I DISCOVERED ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS, IS A SUPER COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL MAZDA 6 (SECOND GENERATION) OWNERS, AND THEY HAVE TO BANG THEIR FISTS ON THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE TO TURN THEM ON. I TRIED THIS METHOD AS WELL, AND IT WORKED FOR ME DESPITE BEING DANGEROUS.
I GOT RECALL NOTICE FROM MAZDA (SAFETY RECALL 9516E) IN THE MONTH OF JULY 2016. MAZDA DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAG YET. CALLED MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY PUSHED ME TO DEALER AND DEALER IS SAYING PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I NEED YOUR HELP TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG ASAP. MAZDA IS NOT BEHAVING RESPONSIBLY.
THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS MADE OF A MATERIAL THAT MELTS DURING HOT SUNNY PERIODS AND TAKES ON A REFLECTIVE SURFACE WHICH ACTS LIKE A MIRROR. WHEN SUNLIGHT HITS THE SURFACE NOT ONLY IS THE SUN REFLECTED OFF THE SURFACE OF THE DASHBOARD BUT IT'S ALSO PROJECTED ONTO THE WINDSHIELD INSTANTLY BLINDING THE DRIVER OF THE RIGHT HALF OF THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD, TURNING THE WHOLE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD INTO YET ANOTHER MIRROR BOUNCING DIRECT SUNLIGHT INTO THE EYES OF THE DRIVER INSTANTLY BLINDING THEM. VISIBILITY IS SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED AND IT BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE OTHER MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD. ALSO THIS MELTED DASHBOARD IS THE SURFACE OF THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. BEING THAT IT'S DEFECTIVE AND MELTED ONE WOULD BE LED TO BELIEVE THAT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG WOULD ALSO BE EFFECTED OR DEFECTIVE. THE GLARE OFF OF THE AIRBAG / DASHBOARD AND THE PROJECTED LIGHT REFLECTED OFF THE WINDSHIELD IS CONSTANT ALL TIMES WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING. THIS IS NOT JUST DANGEROUS IT'S DEADLY AND A GENUINE HAZZARD TO THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGERS, AND EVERY SINGLE MOTORIST AND THEIR OCCUPANTS THAT PASS BY THE DEFECTED CAR AND EVERY MOTORIST WHO INTERACTS WITH THIS DEFECTIVE MAZDA AND THE BLIND DRIVER. THIS CAN KILL PEOPLE. RECALL THIS DEADLY CAR, FROM THIS POINT FORWARD IF THE RECALL IS NOT MANDATED AND SOMEONE DIES JUST REMEMBER THIS DEPARTMENT COULD HAVE PREVENTED IT.

TAKATA RECALL- THE RECALL NOTICE ON SAFERCAR.GOV SHOWS MAY 2016 AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN UPDATE THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THE NOTIFICATION OF NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE PEOPLE RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT IS NOT AN OPTION. THIS IS THE SECOND SUCH SAFETY ISSUE FROM MAZDA WHERE MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISED.
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.
