Mazda has to do something about the tcm. Mine goes in and out and I can't pull in front of traffic when the acceleration goes down. It's an accident waiting to happen and it known the this particular part is known to go out. It's a safety issue Mazda needs to address immediately before someone dies. The first picture is when the car is in manuel mode as you can see that's supposed to be a 5 for fifth gear which U can see that it's hard to tell and that is when it's working when it goes out the cars acceleration slows down and there's no digital display at all. The second picture is when it's in automatic that is supposed to be a D letter letting you know as the driver the gear is in drive. This a frequent problem and I'm not willing to risk my life and posar he lives of others for a mistake that should be corrected by Mazda.
Airbags: Did not deploy upon impact of a streetlamp pole on the front driverside quarter. Front farring damaged and replaced. I was turning left, it was raining, the glare of the light blinded me enough to go up on the curb and impact the streetlamp pole. I replaced the farring and had my Mazda3 fully aligned. Electrical: Purchased vehicle in October 2016. Replaced battery 4 times, alternator 3 times since purchase. Seat heaters haven't worked ever. Driverside seat started wiggling after contact with streetlamp pole.
On April 8 while picking up my daughter from school on nautilus street in la jolla, pointed downhill on a steep grade, my idling vehicle lost power without warning, I lost control of steering and brakes had to stop the vehicle with the handbrake, the passenger car door was open at the time my daughter was trying to step into the vehicle as the car took off, the door hit the car in front of me breaking her tail light, it took me three tries to get the engine to turn back over.
On September 3, 2011 I purchased a brand new 2011 Mazda 3 from Mazda of escondido. On Tuesday September 13, 2011 I started my vehicle and turned on the headlights at which point the power steering light and also the traction control warning lights came on. As I was trying to park my vehicle I noticed difficulty with the power steering. Also, the dsc button would not turn on/off while the light was on. On Monday September 19, 2011 the same two lights came on again. I took a picture of the lights and the odometer reading so we could show the dealer. Due to a prior wrist injury power steering is a must for me.
