Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The passenger headlight has accumulated a lot of moisture (1/2 cup or more) which resulted in the headlight malfunctioning while driving. This is extremely dangerous, especially had this happened at night. The dealership acknowledge its a common problem, said it was a seal problem that burned out the ballast, but that it wasn't covered by a warranty or recall. This is a very common problem (google Mazda 3 headlight moisture and there are hundreds of examples) and needs to be recalled/fixed. The dealership will quote over $1000 to repair this problem. Vehicle was in motion in city driving. …”
