2010 Mazda Mazda6 complaints

HI, MY MAZDA HAVE A MELT DASH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA MAZDA6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ROTORS WERE PREMATURELY WARPED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK VIOLENTLY. ALSO, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TPMS AND PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY BRAKE ROTORS ARE COMPLETELY WARPED! AFTER 6 MONTHS OF HAVING MY CAR MY BRAKES HAVE GONE OUT MULTIPLE TIMES, I DON'T NOT DRIVE MY CAR LONG DISTANCES OR EVEN ON A DAILY BASIS. I CAN BE GOING AS SLOW AS 25 MPH AND WHEN I GO TO BRAKE MY CAR WILL START TO SHAKE (NOT MUCH BUT NOTICEABLE) THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT IT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL WHILE BRAKING. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAD IT WORKED ON UNDER A "ONE TIME" WARRANTY MEANING THEY WILL MAINTENANCE THE BRAKE ONCE AT NO COST TO ME. EACH TIME I HAVE GONE OR SPOKEN TO MY DEALER THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT KEEPS HAPPENING AND EVEN SAID IT COULD BE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR (WHICH IS NOT THE CASE). I AM APART OF A REGIONAL MAZDA CLUB AND EVERYONE WITH A MAZDA 6 (2009-12) SEEM TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS. ALSO, THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STAYS ON. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR THE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY THE LOUD BEEPING SOUND THAT WARNS YOU THAT YOUR TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW. I CALLED MY DEALER AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD MY I JUST NEED AIR. WELL THE VERY NEXT DAY THE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE LOUD BEEPING FOLLOWED. A LONG WITH THAT MY PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG LIGHT KEEPS SAY THAT THE AIR BAG IS OFF, AND THE PASSENGER SEAT LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT HAS ISSUES WITH STAY ON. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE AND THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LIGHT CAME ON. WITHIN A MINUTE THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS COMPLETELY FLAT. AFTER INSPECTED BY A TIRE DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TPMS CORRODED AND THE NUT CAME OFF WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THE TPMS FELL INTO THE TIRE CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE FLAT TIRE. WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE DEFECTIVE TPMS AND MAZDA DOES NOT HAVE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PART. THE PART WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW RUBBER TPMS.[ORIGINAL MADE OF METAL] THIS IS AN OBVIOUS CONCERN IF MAZDA IS NOW REPLACING THE PART WITH A NEW MATERIAL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS A MAJOR ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. LUCKILY, THE INCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR INJURIES. NOW THERE IS A CONCERN FOR THE OTHER THREE TPMS WHICH ARE ALSO CORRODED AND THE SAME ISSUE CAN HAPPEN. MAZDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL SINCE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY INFANT AND TODDLER UNTIL ALL TPMS ARE REPLACED WITH THE NEW TPMS DESIGN. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS ONGOING ISSUE WITH MY MAZDA 6 2010 MODEL. THE WAY MAZDA DESIGN SIDE MIRROR THAT'S VERY COMFY FOR SPIDER. OUR BOTH LEFT & RIGHT MIRROR HAS SPIDER WEB ALL THE TIME. WE NEED TO CLEAN THAT IN ALL SEASONS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE SAFETY RECALL FOR MAZDA 6 2010. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE BRAKE ROTORS ON THIS VEHICLE NEED MACHINING EACH YEAR DUE TO GRABBING. MY MAZDA DEALERSHIP HAS MACHINED THEM AFTER THE FIRST YEAR AND REPLACED THEM UNDER WARRANTY AT 30K. THE REPLACEMENT ROTORS ARE TO BE MACHINED AGAIN ON 4/26/14. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POTENTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL DURING BRAKING. *TR

MY SON TOOK MY CAR TO SCHOOL. HE WAS GOING TO LEAVE AFTER SCHOOL LET OUT, HE WAS GOING TO GIVE HIS FRIEND A RIDE HOME. THIS IS A 6 SPEED CAR. HIS FRIEND GOT IN THE CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, MY SON WAS TALKING TO HIS BROTHER, HE WAS NOT IN THE CAR. MY SON HAD PUT THE KEYS ON THE DRIVER SEAT, HIS FRIEND PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AND TURNED THE KEY TO ACCESSORIES TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO, THE CAR HAD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, AND IT WAS IN FIRST GEAR. WHEN HE TURNED THE KEY TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO THE CAR TOOK OFF!!!! I AM NOT SURE HOW FAST IT WAS GOING BUT IT CRASHED INTO A TREE AND STOPPED. THERE WAS NO DRIVER!! THERE IS A POLICE REPORT ON THIS, AND THERE WERE SEVERAL WITNESSES. MY SON'S FRIEND HIT HIS HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD AND IT CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD. I CONTACTED MAZDA HEADQUARTERS TO MAKE THEM AWARE, AND THEY SEEMED BOTHERED THAT I EVEN CALLED!!!!! IT IS A MIRACLE A KID WAS NOT WALKING BY AND WAS STRUCK BY THIS OUT OF CONTROL CAR. *TR

WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT VEHICLE WOULD BEGIN TO RAISE IN TEMPERATURE AND A/C WOULD SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY SAW THE VEHICLE HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA MAZDA6. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING INTO THE RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY, THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT BURNED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,855 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,200.

JUST PURCHASED AN USED 2010 MAZDA 6 AND THE PASSENGER LOW-BEAM HEADLAMP IS "OUT" UNTIL YOU GIVE IT A NICE FRIENDLY TAP. THIS AT ONLY 29,300 MILES. WENT OUT AGAIN 9 DAYS LATER AND THE TAP IS NOT WORKING. WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS LINK WITH OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UQQPERRESA8. *TR

MY CAR WAS PARKED, WENT INSIDE STORE FOR A MINUTE, CAME OUT AND IT WOULDN'T START. NO LIGHTS PRIOR, AND I TAKE METICULOUS CARE OF MY CAR. AFTER A FAILED JUMP, TOW WAS ISSUED. THE MECHANIC SAYS IT'S A STARTER FAILURE- AT 42,000 MILES ON A BRAND NEW FACTORY LINE CAR. NOW MAZDA WILL NOT RESPOND TO COMPLAINTS, AND ATTEMPTS AT REACHING ANY SUPERVISORS HAVE BEEN NEGATED. CAR HAS BEEN IMMOBILE FOR OVER TWO WEEKS. 42,000 IS A PREMATURE FAILURE FOR A BRAND NEW FACTORY PART- AND THE CAR COMPANY SHOULD PAY TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PORTION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AFTER LESS THEN 30K MILES. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO SHIMMY WHEN BRAKING AT ANY APPRECIABLE SPEED (ANY SPEED OVER 40MPH). TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AS IT IS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". CALLED MAZDA AND THEY TOO REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNDER THE WARRANTY.

BOTH REAR TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS FAILED DUE TO EITHER OVER-TIGHTENING OR CORROSION. BOTH SENSORS SNAPPED OFF RIGHT BELOW THE SENSOR STEM CAP CAUSING BOTH REAR TIRES TO DEFLATE. ON A NEWER CAR STILL UNDER WARRANTY, MAZDA CLAIMS SENSORS ARE ONLY COVERED UNTIL 36000 MILES. AND THEY'RE NOT CHEAP EITHER ($80 EACH, NOT INCLUDING INSTALLATION.) *TR

WHEN APPLYING FOOT TO THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL "COLLAPSE" TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE. RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND QUICKLY PUMPING DOES REGAIN SOME RESISTANCE, BUT BRAKING IS AFFECTED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND IS NOT TRIGGERED BY ANY SPECIFIC EVENT. *TR

LEASED NEW 2010 MAZDA 6 OCTOBER 2009. ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER, I TURNED THE LUMBAR ADJUSTMENT KNOB, AND A LOUD POP HAPPENS AND THE KNOB STARTS FREEWHEELING. THE LUMBAR KNOB CONNECTION (SHAFT/WHATEVER IT IS) TO THE INTERNALS BROKE. MANY MONTHS LATER, I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE SAME TIME AS A RECALL CAME OUT. MEDICAL CONDITIONS PREVENTED ME FROM KEEPING THAT APPOINTMENT, SO I CALLED AND CANCELED IT. SO TODAY, 10/07/11 I TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL AND THE BROKEN LUMBAR KNOB CONNECTION SO THAT PARTS COULD BE ORDERED TO FIX IT. TURNS OUT THERE WERE 2 OTHER RECALLS TOO, SO THAT WAS ADDED TO THE LIST. ABOUT 2 1/2 HOURS LATER, THE CAR IS BROUGHT UP. THE SERVICE ADVISER SAYS THAT THE TECH SEES THERE ARE AFTERMARKET SEAT COVERS ON THE SEATS, AND THEREFORE WHOEVER PUT THOSE ON, BROKE THE LUMBAR KNOB CONNECTION. (THE AFTERMARKET SEAT COVERS ARE ON THERE BECAUSE THE MATERIAL USED FOR THIS MODELS SEATS IS PRONE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR, AND SINCE THIS IS A LEASE, I DON'T WANT THAT.) I ADVISED THE SERVICE ADVISER AND SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE SEAT COVERS WERE JUST RECENTLY PUT ON, (LAST WEEK OF AUGUST 2011) AND IN NO WAY HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BROKEN LUMBAR KNOB CONNECTION. THE SERVICE ADVISER SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING IT IN ANOTHER TIME FOR THE REGIONAL REP TO LOOK AT IT, TO DETERMINE IF IT WOULD BE FIXED OR NOT. I AGAIN ADVISED, THAT IT HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH IT, AND BESIDES THAT, IT'S JUST NYLON FABRIC THAT'S PUT OVER THE SEAT CUSHIONS. AND THEY WERE NOT EVEN ON WHE

BRAKE SENSOR MAKING NOISE AS IF THE BRAKES NEED TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS UNDER 10000 MILES. HAVE OWNED SEVERAL NEW VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES FOR A NEW VEHICLE AT THIS NUMBER OF MILEAGE. POSSIBLE DEFECT WITH MAZDAS BRAKING SYSTEM. *TR

THIS CONCERNS THE PLASTIC SAFETY BUMPER ON MY MAZDA AND PLASTIC BUMPERS IN GENERAL. MINE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IN DANGER OF BREAKING OFF. I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I HAVE A MAZDA6 TOURING PLUS WHICH IS TEN MONTHS OLD, WITH LESS THAN 12,000 MILES. MY BUMPER BEGAN CRACKING TWO MONTHS AGO. THE RIP WENT FROM THE TOP OF THE BUMPER TO THE BOTTOM. IN TIME, THE RIP HAS EXPANDED TO A FOURTH OF A BUMPER. I AM USING SHIPPING TAPE TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. SHIPPING TAPE! THE BUMPER IS SO BRITTLE, IT'S USELESS AS A SAFETY BUMPER. I GET NO SATISFACTION FROM MY DEALER , RAMSEY MAZDA, RAMSEY N.J .OR FROM MAZDA HEADQUARTERS. THEY TELL ME THE CRACK MAY HAVE OCCURRED WHEN I WENT OVER A POTHOLE OR SAFETY BUMPER AND SUGGEST I ASK MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO PAY $1300 FOR THE REPLACEMENT COST. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY. MORE IMPORTANT, BUMPERS OF THIS SORT SHOULD BE BANNED. THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A SOLID BUMPER OR BETTER QUALITY. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS OVER THE YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A BUMPER RIPPING OR FLAKING. UPDATED 07/05/11 *BF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 MAZDA, MAZDA6. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN AN OCCUPANT WAS PRESENT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THE AIR BAG FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM AND ASSURED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE MET THE SPECIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WAS 300. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 07/26/11*LJ UPDATED 3/22/12 *CN

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AFTER LEAVING CLASS. AFTER BEING ON THE FREEWAY FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTS TO POWER DOWN. ALL OF THE CAUTION LIGHTS START TO COME ON (IE: BATTERY LIGHT, TRACTION LIGHT, OIL LIGHT AND MANY OTHERS). AS I GET OFF THE FREEWAY, THE CAR STARTS TO LOSE MORE POWER, THE FUEL ACCELERATION DID NOT WORK AS WELL AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY HARD BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO THE POWER STEERING FLUID. THEN AS I START TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT THERE IS SMOKE COMING FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE CLOSED HOOD. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF THE ACCELERATION, AND POP THE HOOD AND I NOTICED IT IS ON FIRE. I RAN FROM CAR AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AFTER ALL IS SAID AND DONE, THE CAR IS TOTALED. I AM NOT SURE WHAT COMPONENTS MALFUNCTIONED IN THE CAR WHICH INSURANCE IS DETERMINING AT THE MOMENT. THIS IS A MAZDA DEFECT!!!!!

THE INNER TAIL LIGHT LENSES ON BOTH THE DRIVER & PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2010 MAZDA 6 TOURING ARE PHYSICALLY MELTING AND BECOMING SEVERELY DEFORMED. THE OUTER, CLEAR LENSES ARE NOT DAMAGED AND THE MELTING IS ORIGINATING IN THE VICINITY OF THE BULBS. CAR HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED FROM THE MFG AND BULBS ARE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED. CAR HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT AND BEYOND THE 36,000 MFG WARRANTY THEREFORE MAZDA WILL NOT REPLACE THEM FOR FREE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SUPPLIER, DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE OR REDUCED BRAKE LIGHT VISIBILITY AND THIS PART SHOULD NOT MELT. I HAVE PICTURES AND CAN SEND THEM AS REFERENCE. A SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWED A FEW OTHER INCIDENTS WITH DEFECTIVE MAZDA TAIL LIGHTS ON OTHER MODELS AND YEARS SIMILAR TO THIS. I AM UNCERTAIN HOW WIDE SPREAD THIS SITUATION IS. PICTURES RECEIVED. UPDATED 06/14/11 *TR

MY 2010 MAZDA 6 WHICH HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY THE SERVICE CENTER THAT ALL 4 ROTORS ARE OUT OF ROUND AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE BRAKES AND BRAKE PADS ARE FINE. THE WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ROTORS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT THE HORN WILL RANDOMLY START BEEPING. THE SERVICE CENTER STATED IT DID NOT HAPPEN FOR THEM. *TR
