Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“All of a sudden our car started making a horrific sound, especially when accelerating. We took it to a mechanic who had to replace the timing chain kit and tensioner assemblies. Doing simple online searches for this problem, this appears to be a major issue with a lot of Mazda vehicles, yet still there has not been a recall covering this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10679845, filed 2015-01, 120,000 miles“Mazda6 2007 march: car loses power for no apparent reason and with no warning. It may be a faulty EGR valve. When failure happens the car will not accelerate. This has happened on narrow road and on motorway when overtaking. Both times other road users have had to take evasive action to avoid hitting my car as it slowed.”
NHTSA complaint #10325089, filed 2010-04, 62,800 miles“Mazda sedan6 purchased 05/2007- current mileage 2800- discovered oil leak at engine rear main seal. Service mgr offered to correct problem. Oil leak not noticeable-oil dropping on under engine shield and coagulating. Low mileage might indicate problem existed at time of manufacture. If so, replacement of vehicle is proper action on part of manufacturer/seller.”
NHTSA complaint #10237396, filed 2008-08, 2,820 miles“2007 MAZDA6 wagon with 1900 miles engine stalled while driving in gear and under load at approximately 3500 rpms, roughly one minute after startup. Gas tank was 3/4 full, weather was about 80f, 80% rh. With engine stopped car was brought to a stop with brakes, transmission put in park, and engine restarted immediately by switching ignition to engage starter motor.”
NHTSA complaint #10196613, filed 2007-07, 1,900 miles“Interior component of engine failed, causing the engine to throw a rod at 66,000 miles. Not normal wear and tear, dealer & corporation are refusing to cover cost of repairs, nor are they willing to investigate an apparent manufacture error, or accept full responsibility.”
