“Air conditioner never works properly on drivers side since new. Dealer claims it's not a problem but driver vent and left middle vent always blow warm when air is on. Making car unbearable to drive in heat also car does not cool off properly in summer.”
NHTSA complaint #10266660, filed 2009-04, 1,000 miles“I have a 2006 Mazda 6 with a VIN in the recall range, except I live in michigan so it is not recalled.
