Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After a year or so of owning the vehicle, the moisture and fog appeared in the inner tail light housing, passenger side. I have reported the problem to a Mazda dealership but they said it is normal and Mazda will not replace the tail light housing. Eventually, more and more water started to accumulate inside, where at points the housing would be completely foggy and excessive liquid would be visible in the corner of the housing from few feet of distance. …”
