Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Was driving my 08 Mazda speed 3 home from being out and when I got home smelt something burning so I looked around the inside to make sure I didn't drop a cigarette and when I didn't see any I got out and popped opened the hood and when I did the motor burst into flames giving me first degree burns across my face and left arm. Nothing has been by Mazda or anyone to find the source of why it happened.”
