Passenger side dash started melting about a year ago and has gotten so bad the dash is almost liquid. Sunlight reflects off the shiny melted dash and blinds the driver. I was in an accident because I couldn't see due to light reflecting off melted dash. Dash is so sticky that you cannot touch or it will stick to hands/ clothing. I have ruined multiple items of clothing due to this mess.
I started noticing cracks on the dashboard on the passenger side where the airbag deploys. My vehicle was stationary when I noticed ththe cracks the following morning. I am concerned that the airbag might accidentally go off with the slightest vibrations or closing of the vehicle doors.

Headlight on both sides go out often. After having this issue far too many times, I looked online hoping to find a solution and discovered multiple Mazda owners are having same problem. Its a malfunction in the Mazda that needs to be fixed by Mazda. This is extremely dangerous at night to have happening way to often. As for the air bag- ive had my Mazda to a Mazda dealership for the recalls and the air bag was kne of them. Since then, twice now, the 'airbag/front seat belt pretensioner system malfunction' light is flashing while driving. I looked it up, and by the sounds of it, my airbag is malfunctioning?! another dangerous situation on the Mazda 6.

My Mazda was recalled due to air bag inflator that could explode resulting in sharp metal fragments striking the passenger or other vehicle occupants. When I called my Mazda dealer to get it in to be fixed I was told the parts are on back order at Mazda and they could not give me an eta on when they would get parts in. How can Mazda allow it's customers to continue driving their car with no recourse to give us a rental car in the meantime if they can't fix an issue that I would consider extremely serious and needing to be fixed immediately? my wife is pregnant and we have a toddler who rides in a carseat in the backseat and we now feel unsafe to drive our car. I would expect this matter to be taken much more seriously than it is. I'm very disappointed in Mazda and the way this recall is being handled.

Takata recall, my alarm keeps going off randomly all throughout the day each day. The only way to get it to stop is disconnecting my battery while I'm not driving it which is not a viable option. My passenger airbag protector is also melting. Furthermore, I had to replace brake rotors before 100,000 miles was reached because my car would shake uncontrollably at any sort of braking speed

Takata recall there have been 3 recalls with this vehicle I bought new; takata is 1 of the 3: 1. takata airbags: Metal shrapnel in airbags when deployed, reportedly 2. door lock screws are unsafe; need to be checked/replaced; 3. dashboard has been recalled due to turning into a sticky nasty looking mess. The whole right side (passenger side) has become so sticky that dust, cloth, everything sticks to it, and it cannot be cleaned. What's really awful is that the dealership where I bought the car now no longer sells Mazda. The first 2 situations are dangerous; & the 3rd is horribly unsightly. Mazda has sent out recalls for all 3. where do I take this car?

Takata recall I received a notice in the mail for the recall and that there hasn't been a replacement made by the manufacturer. I have also been noticed of a recall on the passenger dash board melting, disintegrating, etc. And there is also not a replacement made either. I contacted the Mazda dealership in trussculle, Alabama and I was told that I would be notified when the replacement dash is available and I have yet to receive a call. That was 2 years ago.
