Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Three out of four tire pressure monitors have failed causing tire deflation. The first two times this was discovered in my driveway.upon trying to re-inflate the low tires I found that the tire pressure monitors just fell away into the interior of the tire. My tire dealer was able to reinstall the monitors(only to have them fail again later) my complaint stems from the incident (after I have stewed about it for a while) that happened on 6-26-2013. My wife,with daughter, had a blowout on interstate 75 at rush hour in a driving rain storm. …”
NHTSA complaint #10542413, filed 2013-09, 74,904 miles“Two of the TPMS (tire pressure monitoring s___?) sensors were cracked and replaced at a discounted cost to me of $325. The car is only 4 years old with under 52,000 miles and two of them crack at the same time (!). The Mazda dealer said that they get a number of these problems and that they think it is due to poor quality metal being used. This is clearly a safety issue since they crack too early in the life of the vehicle and the customer has no way of determining this or even knowing how or where to look. I am now very nervous about the remaining two.”
NHTSA complaint #10542330, filed 2013-09, 51,291 miles“Electric drivers side and rear passenger side window motors have failed three (3) times in the past year. Window will not go up and had to be repaired. While in motion.”
NHTSA complaint #10956761, filed 2017-02, 20,000 miles“My car does not have a key lock on the passenger side. The door can only be unlocked by the driver's side or by a key remote. I do not have a remote. Because the passenger side can only be opened by the driver's side this creates a risk of injury for the driver, as well as passengers who are dependent on the driver. For example, my mother is 80 years old and deaf. She needs assistance walking. When I need to unlock the car, I have to leave her unattended on the passenger side or bring her with me to the driver's side then walk back to the passenger side. …”
