This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While servicing a customer's vehicle, the valve stem broke. This resulted in tire deflation and the need to repair the TPMS sensor at a cost of $73.40.
My brake rotors are completely warped! after 6 months of having my car my brakes have gone out multiple times, I don't not drive my car long distances or even on a daily basis. I can be going as slow as 25 mph and when I go to brake my car will start to shake (not much but noticeable) this is very dangerous due to the fact it can cause loss of control while braking. I have taken my car to the dealer and had it worked on under a "one time" warranty meaning they will maintenance the brake once at no cost to me. Each time I have gone or spoken to my dealer they say they can't figure out why it keeps happening and even said it could be normal wear and tear (which is not the case). I am apart of a regional Mazda club and everyone with a Mazda 6 (2009-12) seem to have the exact same problem with this. Also, the tire pressure light stays on. Almost immediately after I purchased my car the light came on followed by the loud beeping sound that warns you that your tire pressure is low. I called my dealer and they looked at it and told my I just need air. Well the very next day the light came on and the loud beeping followed. A long with that my passenger seat air bag light keeps say that the air bag is off, and the passenger seat low beam headlight has issues with stay on.
My husband was driving on the NJ turnpike and the tire pressure monitor light came on. Within a minute the rear passenger tire was completely flat. After inspected by a tire dealer, it was determined that the TPMS corroded and the nut came off while driving the car. The TPMS fell into the tire causing an immediate flat tire. Warranty did not cover the defective TPMS and Mazda does not have a safety recall on this part. The part was replaced with a new rubber TPMS.[original made of metal] this is an obvious concern if Mazda is now replacing the part with a new material. This is a major safety concern as a major accident could have occurred. Luckily, the incident did not result in an accident or injuries. Now there is a concern for the other three TPMS which are also corroded and the same issue can happen. Mazda needs to issue a safety recall since I am afraid to drive my infant and toddler until all TPMS are replaced with the new TPMS design.
