2016 Mazda CX-9

Purchased the car used with 67k miles on it. Within 2 weeks of purchase warning lights went off saying that the engine was overheating due to censor malfunction. After three visits to mechanics (2 to the dealership and 1 to a private mechanic) it was determined that coolant was leaking into the engine causing the engine block to crack. This of course means that the engine will have to be replaced in order for it to be useable. That repair has been quoted by the dealership as a $14,000 repair. For a car that has less than 70k miles.

15 minutes after getting a wheel bearing replaced at the dealer, my engine coolant high temperature warning came on (never before seen). This occurred while I was on the interstate with no safe place to stop. When I was able to safely stop, I called the dealer. They said bring it back. I was unwilling to drive that far so chose the closest Mazda dealer. They informed me I have a cracked cylinder and the coolant is leaking into exhaust system. I was told the only option due to the mileage on the car (134,000) is to replace the engine for $8,000. This appears to be a known issue so I am shocked that it wasn't being checked for prior to the problem.

The contact owns a 2016 Mazda CX-9. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air conditioning became warm and the fan was abnormally loud. Additionally, the engine temperature gauge was high. The contact pulled over and refilled the coolant reservoir. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who initially diagnosed that the water pump was faulty and needed to be replaced. However, when the contact took the vehicle back to the independent mechanic for the water pump replacement, the mechanic diagnosed that the cylinder head was warped and referred her to the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN and referred the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

P 255 / 50 R 20 104V M+S tread physically detached while driving at 70MPH Was able to steer and stop the vehicle and avoid a crash, partially due to fewer traffic on the road and the tire in question was on the rear driver side. Was able to replace the tire with my insurance. However no intimation about the failure was mentioned or no further action taken about safety of other tires previously on the vehicle The incident took place suddenly with a huge noise due to the broken tire hitting the wheel well and ripping off the fender.

MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER, POURING RAIN/SLEET, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE FLEW OFF OF THE CAR - CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WITH VISIBILITY. WE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SWITCH TO THE PASSENGER SIDE'S WIPER BLADE, SO THAT WE COULD GET TO A SAFER PLACE TO BE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. IT WAS NIGHT TIME DURING ONE INCIDENT AND DAYTIME DURING THE OTHER. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE THE WAY THE WIPER BLADE ATTACHES TO THE ARM.
