Forward collision avoidance, automatic emergency brakingDec 19, 2019
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Mazda3 vehicles. The Smart Brake System (SBS) can falsely detect an obstacle while driving, activating the automatic emergency braking system and suddenly stopping the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle unexpectedly increases the risk of a crash.
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will update the SBS software. In addition, vehicles with certain production dates will receive an instrument cluster software update or replacement and a replacement owner's manual. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began February 14, 2020. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500, Option 4. Mazda's number for this recall is 4219L.

FROM A FULL STOP, VEHICLE LAGS OR LURCHES FROM TAKEOFF WHEN YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY MAZDA ON THIS VEHICLE (GEN 7) AFTER 3000 MILES OR MORE. WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR (ESPECIALLY ON A NEW CAR), I EXPECT IT TO GO. THIS LAG IN MOVING OFF THE LINE CAN BE DANGEROUS, IN MY OPINION, BUT APPARENTLY NOT IN MAZDA'S. BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED FOR PAST 6 MONTHS, BUT HEARING IT'S NOT A PRIORITY FOR MAZDA JAPAN, SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS NEWLY BEING REPORTED ON 2019 AND 2020'S AND THEY DON'T CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE, JUST AN ANNOYANCE.

JAN. 23, 2020. 10:45 AM. I WAS ON MY STREET, A NARROW RESIDENTIAL STREET, PREPARING TO BACK IN MY GARAGE. IN ORDER TO DO THAT ON THIS NARROW STREET, I TOUCHED THE LIP OF THE DRIVEWAY ACROSS THE STREET. SPEED WELL UNDER 3 MPH. WHEN I DID SO, MY CAR SUDDENLY SHARPLY ACCELERATED AND AT THE SAME TIME SWERVED TO THE RIGHT. THE ACCELERATION AND SWERVE DROVE THE CAR INTO THE TOWNHOUSES ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE. THE DRIVEWAYS ARE VERY SHORT, BARELY A CAR'S LENGTH. AFTER CRASHING, I COULD FEEL THE CAR STILL ACCELERATING. I QUICKLY SWITCHED THE CAR INTO PARK AND THE SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION CONTINUED. IN ORDER TO STOP IN I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF. WHEN THE TOWING COMPANY TURNED THE CAR ON LATER IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATE AND SURGE FORWARD AGAIN. THE MAZDA DEALER AND INSURANCE INSPECTOR EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE IS A SENSOR: WHEN A WHEEL ENCOUNTERS WHAT IT PERCEIVES TO BE AN OBSTACLE, IT 'TOSSES' ALL THE POWER TO THAT WHEEL AND ACCELERATES. THESE DRIVEWAYS HAVE A SMALL LIP AT THE EDGE. THIS SENSOR REACTED TO IT IN A WAY THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO CRASH. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND THE TOWNHOUSES ACROSS THE STREET DAMAGED. THANK HEAVEN THERE WAS NO ONE OUTSIDE OR THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, RECALLED AND CHANGED.

THIS IS BECOMING A COMPLETE BURDEN IN MY LIFE AND I AM NOT GOING TO BE THE PERSON WHO HAS TO DIE FOR MAZDA TO ADDRESS THIS

VEHICLE IS 2 MONTHS OLD AND THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING IS GOING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WITH NO CARS AROUND. TODAY IT WENT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND LUCKILY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION. I CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK ABOUT SERVICING THE RECALL AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. WHEN I TOLD THEM I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THANK GOODNESS YOU DIDN'T AND IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE THEY COULD HELP ME WITH. ZERO OFFERS TO HELP OR CONCERN FOR AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.
Visibility/wiper, Jan 17, 2020
MY MAZDA 3 WINDSHIELD IS PRONE TO CHIPPING AND CRACKING AT THE SLIGHTEST IMPACT. TODAY, WITHOUT ANY OBVIOUS IMPACT WHILE DRIVING, A NEW 05MM CRACK DEVELOPED. (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED IMAGES) THIS IS THE SECOND WINDSHIELD WHICH DEVELOPED A FULL-WIDTH CRACK FROM A SLIGHT IMPACT AT LOCAL STREET SPEED. THE NEW WINDSHIELD IS MAZDA OEM GLASS AND HAS BEEN INSTALLED FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 1 YEAR OLD.

I WAS DRIVING ON US ONE BETWEEN FT. PIERCE AND VERO BEACH, JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS, 2019. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OR BESIDES ME, ALTHOUGH THERE WERE CARS APPROACHING FROM THE REAR. THE CAR SUDDENLY VIOLENTLY SHOOK AND CAME TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP. I TRIED TO START IT, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I COULD SEE CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME AND KNEW I COULD EASILY BE HIT FROM THE REAR. THANKFULLY THEY SAW I WASN'T MOVING, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO MOVE TO THE OTHER LANE. AFTER 5 OR 6 ATTEMPTS, I FINALLY GOT THE CAR STARTED AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. I HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THOUGHT PERHAPS I HAD CAUSED THE SITUATION. I DID NOT REPORT IT AT THAT TIME AS I DID NOT CONSIDER IT COULD BE A DEFECT. I NOW KNOW THAT IT IS.
Service brakes, Dec 26, 2019
DEAR SIR OR MADAM, I LEASED A NEW MAZDA 3 ON 12/20/2019. AT THE TIME OF SIGNING ALL DOCUMENTS I WAS PROVIDED WITH A DOCUMENT TO SIGN THAT THE DEALERSHIP WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SELL ME A CAR WITH AN OPEN RECALL. AFTER REGISTERING WITH THE MAZDA APP I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL. IS THIS LEGAL AND WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS? THIS SEEMS EXTREMELY DISHONEST. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK AND ADVICE ON WHAT I CAN DO IN THIS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE MAY UNEXPECTEDLY STOP WHILE DRIVING DUE TO INADVERTENT ACTIVATION OF THE SMART BRAKING SYSTEM (SBS) AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM. MANY THANKS
Service brakes, Dec 19, 2019
AUTOMATIC BREAK SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS OFTEN AND DOES A HARD BREAK. ALSO THE PERIMETER SENSOR GETS DISABLED NUMEROUS TIME OUT OF BLUE WHILE DRIVING AND STOP FUNCTIONING UNTIL THE CAR RESTARTS. THE BREAK HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY PRIOR INDICATION OR SAME SITUATION. IT JUST HAPPENS ON THE REGULAR ROAD AS WELL AS HIGHWAY. BUT THE HIGHWAY JUST SCARES ME. BUT THERE IS NO WAY I CAN TELL MAZDA WITH A PROOF.
Electronic stability control (ESC), Visibility/wiper, Dec 2, 2019
I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH OR SLOWER IN A LIGHT RAIN ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY VEHICLE SAID THAT THE FRONT RADAR FAILED/UNABLE TO FUNCTION, ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS ARE NOW DISABLED. THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 3-4 MINUTES AND THEN IT STARTED TO FUNCTION AGAIN BUT ONLY FOR 2 MINUTES AND THEN IT GAVE THE SAME MESSAGE AND DISABLED ALL MY SAFETY SYSTEMS WHILE AGAIN. IT STARTED TO FUNCTION AGAIN AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS WHY I WAS UNABLE TO GET A PHOTO. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH LANE DEPARTURE WARNING AND WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SENSOR AND THE DOORS AND TRUNK LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. I THINK THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND MOST OF THE PROBLEMS COME FROM THE FRONT RADAR BUT THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONICS THAT I THIS THIS VEHICLE IS A LEMON. THE LANE-KEEP ASSIST IS SO BAD IT HAS ALMOST MADE ME CRASH ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SO I HAVE DISABLED IT.
Other or unspecified, Service brakes, Nov 6, 2019

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 MAZDA 3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE AFTER THE BRAKE ASSIST WAS ENGAGED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.
Other or unspecified, Sep 12, 2019
WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE RIGHT SIDE BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK OCCASIONALLY. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS WITH A WARNING MESSAGE BUT SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WITHOUT A WARNING. MULTIPLE REPAIR ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE BUT THE ISSUE STILL KEEPS HAPPENING. MAZDA IS TRYING TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE BUT IS NOT ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEIR VEHICLES.

HEATED SEAT SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING
Steering, Power train, Electrical system, Aug 6, 2019
MY CAR SUDDENLY MADE A BIG CLUNK NOISE AND I WAS WARNED OF A POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION. I HAVE ALSO BEEN WARNED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT DUE TO A MALFUNCTION THE 'SAFETY SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN DISABLED', ANOTHER ISSUE IN HAVING IS A HEADLIGHT MALFUNCTION. WHEN THE HEADLIGHT MALFUNCTION OCCURS THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER GETS VERY DARK AND I AM UNABLE TO TELL HOW FAST I AM GOING. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THE BRIGHTNESS UP TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER AGAIN UNTIL THE ERROR CODE GOES AWAY. MAZDA TOLD ME I MUST LEAVE MY WINDOWS DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS IN A HOT CLIMATE TO PREVENT IT FROM OVERHEATING WHILE NOT IN USE...I LIVE IN OHIO SO THE WEATHER IS NOT EXTREMELY HARSH. I'VE TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED ANY OF THE ISSUES. I CALLED MAZDA CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD 'WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO ABOUT IT' I WAS TOLD MY ISSUES HAD NO REMEDY. THE CORPORATE CALL CENTER WOULD NOT PUT ME THROUGH TO ANYONE ELSE FOR FURTHER HELP. I FEEL UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE AND IT'S NOT EVEN OVER 8500 MILES YET.

A SAFETY CRITICAL INCIDENT OCCURRED ON MY NEW 2019 MAZDA 3 HATCHBACK WHEN THE VEHICLE WHEN INTO "LIMP" MODE WHILE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS LEADING TO RAPID DECELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST MANUFACTURER SERVICE LOCATION WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED. CODES SHOW THAT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE CENTRAL VEHICLE PROCESSOR AND MULTIPLE SUB-PROCESSORS FAILED SIMULTANEOUSLY. COMMENTS WERE MADE BY MANUFACTURER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES THAT FAILURE MODE IS LIKELY DIFFERENT FROM THE RECENT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION/ROCKER ARM RECALL. SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES WERE INSTRUCTED TO SIMPLY CLEAR THE CODES AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO ATTEMPT TO REPRODUCE THE FAILURE DURING WHICH IT DID NOT OCCUR. I HAVE ATTACHED A SANITIZED VERSION OF THE SERVICE RECEIPT TO THIS MESSAGE WITH THE FULL LIST OF CODES. UNFORTUNATELY MAZDA'S REPRESENTATIVES WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY EXPLANATION ON WHY THIS FAILURE OCCURRED OR WHAT WILL BE DONE TO PREVENT IT IN THE FUTURE. ENGINEERING ANALYSIS WILL NEED TO BE PERFORMED TO REACH AN ACCEPTABLE CONCLUSION. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS RELATING TO THE INCIDENT INCLUDE A VERY HOT OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE, WITH A READING OF 115 DEG F FROM THE VEHICLE'S SENSOR ROUGHLY 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT. THE INCIDENT ALSO OCCURRED ON A VERY LONG SECTION OF US HIGHWAY WITH A CONSISTENT, GRADUAL INCLINE. GIVEN THAT INFORMATION POTENTIAL CAUSES ARE INTERMITTENT COMPUTER HARDWARE FAILURE IN HIGH TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTS, OR A SOFTWARE ERROR IN POWER TRAIN CONTROL OR CRUISE CONTROL CAUSING A COMMUNICATION BUS FAILURE. WITH THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE (336 MI) THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS FAILURE OCCURRING IS LIKELY PRESENT IN A LARGE PORTION OF NEW MAZDA VEHICLES.

MY CAR'S COLLISION WARNING ENGAGED WITHOUT CAUSE. IT MAKES THE CAR BRAKES ABRUPTLY FOR NO REASON. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS DURING HIGHWAY SPEED. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR IN THE 4 MONTHS THAT I OWN THE CAR. SOME OTHER OWNERS ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS.

SUDDENLY THERE WAS A ERROR SAYING AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTIONED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY COMMUTE. AND IT HAS BEEN REOCCURRING. AND I HAVEN'T HEARD A PEEP FROM THE DEALER.
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Jul 2, 2019
THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING, MOST RECENTLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATES STATING "SAFETY AND DRIVER SUPPORT SYSTEMS PARTIALLY DISABLED, DRIVE SAFELY". I LOSE BLIND SPOT MONITORING, LANE KEEP ASSISTANCE, RADAR, AND CITY BRAKE SUPPORT, AMONG OTHER THINGS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 2 WEEKS.

- REAR VIEW MIRROR FELL OFF WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. HOT DAYS WILL BREAK DOWN THE ADHESIVE AND CAUSE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR TO FALL OFF. - BRAKES VIBRATE HARSHLY WHEN IN SPORT MODE. FASTER THE VEHICLE GOES, THE MORE HARSH THE BRAKES WILL VIBRATE. - ACCELERATION IS JERKY ON LOW END (1ST/2ND) GEAR. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, OR GOING UP-HILL ON LOAD, ACCELERATION WILL FEEL JERKY WHEN TRY TO KEEP A STEADY SPEED BETWEEN 5-15MPH. CAR FEELS NORMAL WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATION HARDER.
