“I'm going in today for the third time because my AC continues to make a noise when the fan is blowing. I cant even begin to list all of the problems I've had with this car. Just to name a few I'm on my second engine, new brakes, battery and tires before 40k miles and I was told by three different shops that something is really wrong with the brakes but Mazda claims other wise. I've had a two new radiators and my driver window went out along with everything else from the visor falling off during the hot summer because it just melted. How does a sun visor melt. …”
NHTSA complaint #10249650, filed 2008-11, 6 miles“I purchased a brand new set of potenza's on the dec 7. I had them mounted on in the afternoon dec 8. Went straight home 10 miles away. On dec 9, I noticed my car would swerve a bit I was entering the freeway, I spun out six or seven times at 45 MPH. When I pulled over I saw that I was driving on my rim, my tire on the right rear side wasn't on. I retrieved the tire. The tread and wall tore away from each other. Even though I did not hit anyone/anything from the spin out, my car, a 2005 model, is considered a total wreck from all the damages that resulted from the tire loss.”
