Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have constantly replaced my driver window motor. The driver window switch/motor stops working for no reason. In addition the entire headunit stops working. It shuts on and off while in the middle of driving. Sometimes to powers right back on and other times it can take days for it to turn back on.”
NHTSA complaint #10525432, filed 2013-07, 24,000 miles“I have a complaint that could be very dangerous to others. I know to check my blind spot, but even when you turn to look over your shoulder (either way), the back panel between the back glass and the door is in the way. I have at least 3 times now, almost switched lanes into another vehicle because it wasn't visible. I looked in the side and rearview mirrors, as well, but I never saw the other vehicle. A friend of mine, as well as other 3 owners, also has the same problem with their Mazda 3.”
NHTSA complaint #10241409, filed 2008-09, 15,000 miles“Power window control issue on driver's side only - the driver's power window button will work for awhile and then intermittently stop working for a day or so. It will randomly start working again. Not sure if it happens more when it rains. I did see that GM just put a recall describing the exact same thing I'm experiencing and was wondering if it might be the same issue...they describe it as moisture entering the driver's window resulting in the power control not working intermittently. It first started happening in my car about back in may, but it might have been even longer.”
