Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There is major leaking from multiple unknown sources, one place the water hides is in the spare tire wheel well and it was not evident at first as to why the car was molding on the inside. It has terrible microbial growth that is evident and I can only imagine what I cant see. The car to my knowledge has never been in any accident to cause this. Had the heater core replaced because I was told that could be a reason why there is water in floor , it was replaced and I was informed that there was nothing wrong with the original one.. That was a year ago, and it has only gotten worse . …”
NHTSA complaint #11378495, filed 2020-12, 129,000 miles“Referring to a december 18, 2006 recall NHTSA campaign id number: 06v463000. Regarding a problem with the sliding door coming open when driving during cold weather. My vehicle has this problem which is gradually becoming worse as time goes by. Mazda says my VIN # was not included so they will not fix it under the recall. If that is the case and they were aware of the problem when my vehicle was manufactured, am I not correct in assuming that this modification should have be rectified before the vehicle was sold. I think Mazda should be liable to include my vehicle in as part of this recall. …”
NHTSA complaint #10937515, filed 2016-12, 95,000 miles“On multiple occasions now when water gets into the door (car wash, melted snow, etc.) and then temperature drops, ice inside the latch mechanism prevents the door from latching properly. The door will only relatch when the ice is melted, otherwise it will close most of the way but the door ajar light remains on since it is not properly latched. There have been times where the light goes off and we think it is properly latched only to see the light come back on again while driving.”
