TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MAZDA 3. WHILE THE CONTACT CHANGED LANES AT 35 MPH THE POWER STEERING LOCKED TWICE. SHE WAS ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE LANE. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURRED AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT INDICATOR SHUT OFF AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE POWER STEERING RECALL; THEREFORE, SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST. THE MANUFACTURER WILL BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 53,192.
Seat belts, Aug 3, 2010
I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 5 YEARS. IN THE PAST MONTH, MY DRIVERS SEATBELT HAS BEGUN TO FAIL. THIS IS A PYROTECHNIC SEATBELT, AND HAS A SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE SEATBELT DOES NOT COMPLETELY LOCK, AND CAN BE REMOVED BY HAND. I WAS INFORMED THAT UPON A CRASH, IF THE SEATBELT WERE NOT COMPLETELY LATCHED, THE AIRBAG WOULD IN FACT NOT DEPLOY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4-5 TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL OCCURRENCE. ALSO, WHEN THE SEATBELT FAILS TO LATCH YOU CAN NOT JUST PUSH THE BUTTON TO RELEASE THE BELT. YOU MUST TUG HARDLY TO GET THE BELT TO RELEASE. MAZDA IS NOT WILLING TO WARRANTY THIS PART, AND THE NEW PART COST ALMOST $300 TO REPAIR. *TR

MAZDA 3 INTERNAL SENSORS GETTING STUCK AT MILEAGE FROM 35K TO 95K MAZDA AND GIVING MESSAGE AT IN DASHBOARD. IF U RESET THE COMPUTER THE CAR WORKS FINE AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF MILES UNTIL AT MESSAGE APPEARS. WHEN U TAKE THE MAZDA TO THE MAZDA CENTER THEY TELL YOU THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IS BAD, BUT IF U TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION DEALER THEY SAY IS REVERSE SOLENOID OR FIRST SOLENOID CUS OF THE CODES. BUT FIRST AND REVERSE WORK FINE WHEN U RESET THE COMPUTER, I SEARCHED THE WEB FOR AT MESSAGE IN MAZDA 3 2004-2007 HATCHBACK OR SEDAN AND IS SAME THING. I THINK IS A MAZDA FACTORY ERROR. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILURE MAZDA 3 4DR 2005 WITH 75,000 MILES PERIODIC POWER STEERING FAILURE OVER A 2 MONTH PERIOD BUT BY TURNING CAR ON AND OF IT WOULD RE-SET AND WORK. MAZDA REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP FOR $1500. APPROX A MONTH LATER FAILED AGAIN WHEN I WAS 3 HOURS FROM HOME, WOULD NOT RE SET UPON A RESTART SO DROVE IT HOME W/O POWER ASSIST (NOT EASY ON A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE). DEALER APPLIED 2008 POWER STEERING FIX (REPLACE FLUID AND LINES AT NO CHARGE) AND HAS NOT RE-FAILED YET. OBVIOUSLY NOT EASY TO DRIVE W/O POWER ASSIST, AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT IS POSSIBLE IF CAREFUL BUT AROUND TOWN WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE. I AM REPORTING BASED ON RECENT INQUIRY INTO LATER MODEL MAZDA'S FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TR

MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND I ATTEMPTED TO PASS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK. I HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES HARD TO STOP. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SNAPPED BACK UP. THIS HAPPENS INFREQUENTLY BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. I PURCHASED IT IN 2006. THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED IN 2007 BECAUSE THIS WAS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY BETWEEN 2006 AND 2007. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). HELLO, I OWN A 2005 MAZDA 3. 2.3 MOTOR. I AM HAVING A LOT OF DIFFICULTIES WITH TWO MOTOR MOUNTS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TWO ARE ALREADY BROKEN. AFTER READING SEVERAL REVIEWS AND AFTER GOING TO SEVERAL AUTO MECHANICS IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE MOTOR MOUNTS. THE MOTOR MOUNTS CAUSE INTENSE VIBRATION WHILE SLOWING AND SPEEDING. IT IS PRETTY SCARY. I WHICH THEY WOULD NOT ONLY CALL THE PART A DEFECT BUT RECALL IT. I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND ALL THE AUTO MECHANICS TELL ME THE SAME. MAZDA OF COURSE STATES IT IS NOT A HAZARD. WHEN SOMEONE'S ENGINES DROPS OUT OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MOTOR MOUNTS FAILING BECAUSE THEY ARE DEFECTIVE I ENSURE THEY WILL READVISE THEIR JUDGMENT. [XXX]*TR

2005 MAZDA 3S WITH ONLY 39K MILES BROKE DOWN WITH HEAVY SMOKE, NEAR FIRE, FORTUNATELY AT DIA AIRPORT. TOWED TO LOCAL DENVER MAZDA DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED A SEIZED A/C COMPRESSOR. CONTACTED MAZDA NATIONAL CUSTOMER CARE, WHO COVERED THE $1K COST OF THE NEW COMPRESSOR, WITH ME PICKING UP THE LABOR. OUT OF WARRANTY, BARELY; THIS KIND OF THING SHOULD NOT HAPPEN FOR A YOUNG VEHICLE, ORIGINAL OWNER, WITH PAMPERED PREVENTATIVE MNX PER SCHEDULE. I DO APPRECIATE THE FACT MAZDA STEPPED UP TO COMPENSATE A MAJORITY OF THE REPAIR COST. I CONTINUE TO BE VERY ANNOYED AT THE POOR BRAKE DESIGN, THAT SQUEALS MOST OF THE TIME, USING OEM PARTS, ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE IN COLDER TEMPS. *TR

AS I WAS READING IN YOUR MOST RECENT REPORT, MY SON HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL UNIT WITH THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. HE TOOK THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A SENSOR. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. BROUGHT BACK THE CAR TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE DASH CLUSTER. PRIOR TO TAKING THE CAR IN THIS HAPPENED ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS. IS THIS REIMBURSABLE BY THE MANUFACTURER? *TR

2005 MAZDA 3 AIR COMPRESSOR GOES OUT, LINES FRY UNDER HOOD AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE UNDER 60,000 MILES AND THE A/C NEVER WORKS TO MAXIMUM OUTPUT. CONTACTED MAZDA AND WHILE THEY SAY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, NO RECALL HAS BEEN PROPOSED, THEREFORE I WAS REDIRECTED TO THIS SITE. CONTACTED MAZDA OVER A YEAR AGO UNDER THE ADVICE OF 2 MECHANICS WHO INSISTED THIS INCIDENT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO SUCH A YOUNG CAR. THEY SAID I'M LUCKY THERE WAS NO FIRE SINCE ALL MY LINES NEARLY FRIED AND MAZDA NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE, ESPECIALLY AFTER MY MECHANIC DID HIS OWN RESEARCH ON MY BEHALF AND SEEM TO AGREE THIS IS TOO COMMON. I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING UP WITH MAZDA'S CUSTOMER CARE AND WHILE THEY ARE EMPATHETIC, THERE'S NO SOLUTION FOR ANYONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. LAST SPOKE TO JENNIFER AT MAZDA X1170 ON 6-29-29 WHO SUGGESTED I FILL OUT THIS FORM! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP. *TR
Parking brake, May 7, 2009
I PURCHASED MY 2005 MAZDA 3S DURING THE WINTER OF 2005. FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS I HAVE RELIGIOUSLY HAD MY CAR SERVICED BY MAZDA DEALERSHIPS CONSISTENT WITH THE RECOMMENDED SERVICING SCHEDULE. DESPITE THIS, MY REAR BRAKES SUDDENLY CEASED MONDAY. AFTER HAVING MY CAR TOWED TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY REAR CALIPERS AND BRAKE LINES HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND THAT THEY MUST BE REPLACED ALONG WITH MY REAR ROTORS AND REAR BRAKE PADS - FOR $2650 (NOT INCLUDING THE TOWING FEE). MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 38,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS ALWAYS WELL-CARED FOR. IT RAISES SERIOUS RED FLAGS THAT SUCH AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT COULD COMPLETELY CORRODE IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. IN MY EXPERIENCE, IN CARS WITH MUCH MORE MILEAGE, I'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH A HAZARDOUS MECHANICAL FAILURE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 MAZDA 3 . THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS ALL LIT UP (CRUISE CONTROL, ENGINE, OIL, ETC, ETC. BROUGHT CAR TO MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS SENSOR. PAID 225.00 FOR REPAIR. TWO WEEKS LATER SAME ISSUE. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO SAME DEALERSHIP, KEPT CAR FOR A FEW DAYS TO DIAGNOSE. CLAIM TO HAVE COME UP WITH A NEW CODE FOR FIX WHICH WAS FOR AN ADJUSTMENT COST. COST TO BE REPAIRED WAS 970.00. SHOULD THIS BE THE CASE WITH SUCH A NEW MODEL ONLY BEING 4 YEARS OLD? STILL NOT SURE THIS WILL TAKE CARE OF ISSUE, SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT WAS BROUGHT IN THE SENSOR WAS TOLD TO BE THE PROBLEM. CAN THIS BE REIMBURSED BY THE MANUFACTURER? PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP. THANK YOU! *TR

WE HAVE HAD A 2005 MAZDA 3 HATCHBACK FOR LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND A HALF. WE BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 30,000 MILES AND HAVE ADDED AROUND 26,000 MORE. REGULARLY KEEPING IT SERVICED ON OUR OWN ACCORD WITH OUT TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE THAT SEEMED TO BE GETTING WORSE WITH TIME. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEIR INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL AND THAT ENGINE WAS FAILING (IN 2005 CAR WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT) AND THAT IT WOULD COST 7000$ FOR A NEW ENGINE. WE BELIEVED THIS TO BE A FAULTY ENGINE RATHER THAN OWNER LIABILITY. WE TRIED TO CONTACT MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY WERE RUDE AND BELLIGERENT. WHEN ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SUPERVISOR, SHE WAS ALSO RUDE AND UNRESPONSIVE. WHEN ASKED TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE ELSE AT THE COMPANY ABOVE HER, SHE DENIED US THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN TO ANYONE FURTHER. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE HAD TO PARK THE CAR UNTIL ENOUGH MONEY CAN BE SAVED TO FIX AN ENGINE THAT IN OUR EYES IS DEFECTIVE, AND FURTHER DEAL WITH A COMPANY THAT IS NOT VERY HELPFUL TO IT'S CUSTOMERS. *TR

Suspension, Jul 3, 2008
SALUDOS, LA SIGUIENTE ES PARA INFORMARLES QUE DESDE ABRIL 2005, POSEO UN MAZDA 3 DEL 2005. EN ESTOS MOMENTOS DICHO AUTO TIENE UN RECORRIDO DE 50,000 MILLAS Y LE HE REEMPLAZADO LOS NEUMATICOS EN 3 OCACIONES YA QUE DESGASTA LOS NEUMATICOS POSTERIORES POR LA PARTE INTERIOR MIENTRAS QUE LA PARTE EXTERIOR SE MANTIENE CON POCO DESGASTE. HE LLEVADO EL AUTO EN MAS DE 3 OCASIONES EL CENTRO DE SERVICIO DE CABRERA HERMANOS EN HATILLO PUERTO RICO Y ESTOS ME INFORMAN QUE ESTO SUCEDE POR EL TIPO DE SUSPENCION TRASERA DEL AUTO. HE CONSULTADO CON TECNICOS PRIVADOS Y ME INFORMAN QUE MUCHAS PERSONAS TIENEN EL MISMO PROBLEMA, CON EL MISMO TIPO DE AUTO. EL DIAGNOSTICO ES UN PROBLEMA CON LAS EXENTRICAS QUE NO PERMITEN EL DEBIDO AJUSTE DEL ALINEAMIENTO TRASERO. YA EN EL MERCADO EXSISTEN LOS REEMPLAZOS DE ESTAS PIEZAS PARA CORREGIR ESTE DEFECTO DE FABRIANTE, PERO SU COSTO ES DE $300.00. ESTOS TECNICOS INFORMAN QUE ESTE DEFECTO PUEDE CAUSAR ACCIDENTES POR EL DESGASTE DE LOS NEUMATICOS.
