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.
The contact owns a 2016 Mazda Mazda6. The contact stated that the driver-??s seat was previously moved backward; however, when her daughter attempted to move the seat forward to drive the vehicle, the seat remained stuck in the rearward position. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, who informed the contact that the wire connecting the seat motor to the seat track had fractured. The dealer informed the contact that the entire seat assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
"driver seat alignment" after driving for any period of time drivers left legs begins to feel discomfort or stress to the outside of left knee due to seat being angled left. Pressure from left footrest and wheel wall forces driver to retract leg and plant into floor closer to the seat. This is consistent with every time I have driven also it was confirm by a Mazda sales associate.
The forward tilt of the headrest forces my head forward in an unsafe and uncomfortable manner no matter what seat settings are used. I have sustained chronic neck and upper back health issues since I began driving my new car. The seat and headrest design force the driver into an unnatural posture that gives no back support and bumps the head forward and downward facing. The constant straining to while driving this car is not only unsafe but it is causing chronic injury. I do not have an unusual body type, I am fit and otherwise healthy and this aggravation does not happen in any of my other (older) vehicles.
