2016 Mazda MAZDA3

The infotainment system fails to work - it is where I can access information re: maintenance schedule, or any info that is associated with a lit engine light. In addition the charging system for my mobile phone has ceased working. This includes both the usb ports and the lighter port which can be adapted with a charger that works in that receptable. These are all safety issues as far as I am concerned. Not having information related to the vehicle engine light is a big issue, but so is the fact that I can't charge my phone on long distance drives. If I needed assistance, I would be unable to contact anyone without a working cell phone. Because the display also controls the ability to pair a phone with blue tooth, there is concern for other drivers of the Mazda 3 (mine is a 2016) will be using the phone regardless of the bluetooth malfunction. I have seen a safety recall on other Mazda's with relation to the infotainment screen, but I do not see one here. I wonder why? To repair this crucial component would cost many hundreds of dollars -- something I am not in a position to do. Mazda claims this infotainment center is not under warranty, but with so much important information and safety features embedded into it, I think it should be corrected by recall. Thank you for investigating this issue. Regina

The windshield wipers work but the washer does not squirt the windshield washing fluid out and it the reservoir is full of fluid but there are certain days in which I need that to work because my visibility is greatly reduced which has made the risk of accident that much greater. it says there is a recall pertaining to this problem and the fix was a relay However nothing comes up for my specific car when I enter the Vin but I would like this problem fixed and I’m not sure how to go about it

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 2-16-2021, ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH OUT WARNING, EVERY WARNING AND INFORMATION LIGHT LIGHT UP LIKE A XMAS TREE, THE POWER STEERING WENT AWAY MAKING IT HARD TO DRIVE, THE ENGINE RAN IN LIMP MODE., I MANAGE TO GET IT PULLED OFF TO A SAFE SPOT , TURN OFF THE CAR, AND THEN TRY TO RESTART . NO GO , DEAD THE DASH LIGHTS LIGHT UP BUT THE STARTER WILL NOT ENGAGE . TOWED TO DEALER, 1ST THEY SAYS ITS THE ENGINE COMPUTER, THEN ITS THE , TRANSMISSION COMPUTER . BUT WHEN I GET THE BILL , I SEE IT IS THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY HTTPS://WWW.MAZDASWAG.COM/OEM-PARTS/MAZDA-AUTOMATIC-TRANSMISSION-VALVE-BODY-FZ2121100J . MY CAR HAS ONLY 39900 MI ON IT ,MAZDA REFUSES TO HONOR ITS 5YR 50000 MI POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EVEN AFTER CALLING MAZDA CUSTOMER CARE

THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM COMPUTER IS ON CONSTANT REBOOT LOOP. AT FIRST IT WOULD ONLY OCCUR WHEN WEATHER WAS VERY COLD OR HOT. THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING AT LEAST 75% OF THE TIME NO MATTER THE WEATHER. I HAD MAZDA DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT PRIOR TO FULL WARRANTY RUNNING OUT, THEY COULDN'T FIND AN ORIGIN OF ISSUE AND SIMPLY CHECKED FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES. IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND PAST FULL WARRANTY SO CANT GET LOOKED AT OR DIAGNOSED FOR FREE. A RECALL FOR THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WAS NOTIFIED TO ME AND REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WHEN IT REBOOTS, IT OCCURS FOR ALMOST ENTIRE DRIVE, MAKING IT ALONG WITH ALL ITS FEATURES UNUSABLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE BACKUP CAMERA BLACKS OUT SPONTANEOUSLY WHEN IN REVERSE. THE HANDS FREE DRIVING, GPS, MUSIC, AND EVERYTHING ELSE RELATING TO INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS UNABLE TO BE USED. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND MAZDA HAS NOT RECALLED THE PART. BECAUSE IT TURNS OFF ABRUPTLY WHEN BACKUP CAM AND GPS IS IN USE, IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS GENERALLY ALSO DISAPPOINTING BECAUSE A MAJOR FACTOR IN PURCHASING THAT YEAR AND MODEL OF MAZDA WAS DUE TO THE AWESOME INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, BUT BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND AFTER I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE IT 90% OF THE TIME.

I DROVE MY CAR TO THE STORE THIS MORNING LISTENING PANDORA (BLUETOOTH) AND ON MY WAY BACK HOME THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER JUST STARTED TO REBOOT CONTINUOUSLY AFTER I FOUND OUT RESETTING IT COULD HELP I DID THE BACK+NAV+MUTE BUT IT DIDN'T WORK I WENT TO THE MAZDA FORUM AND FOUND OUT THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH MANY MAZDA FANS I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT REPLACEMENT OF THE CMU IS VERY EXPENSIVE SINCE THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SO MANY MAZDA FANS WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM? MY BACKUP CAMERA WORKS AND ONE RADIO STATION THERE IS NO GPS AND BLUETOOTH JUST CONTINUES TO REBOOT EVEN WHILE DRIVING

I PARKED AT THE TOP OF MY DRIVEWAY AT A SLIGHT INCLINE POSITION WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED AND THE CAR WAS IN SECOND GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION). IT WAS IN A STATIONARY POSITION AT THAT TIME. MY FAMILY EXITED THE VEHICLE AND WE WENT INSIDE OUR HOME. APPROXIMATELY A HALF OUR LATER I NOTICE MY CAR ROLLED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY AND CRASHED IN BETWEEN TWO TREES ON MY PROPERTY. EITHER THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED OR THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE PARKED. THE CAR WAS FOUND AT THE BOTTOM OF MY PROPERTY STILL IN GEAR AND HAD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN THE ENGAGED POSITION.

DURING HOT SUMMER MONTHS WHEN RUNNING ERRANDS (FOR EXAMPLE) WHICH WOULD REQUIRE STOPPING AND RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, THE CABIN WILL BEGIN TO FILL WITH GAS FUMES. THIS WILL START ABOUT 30 MINUTES INTO THE TRIP. THE FUMES BECOME SO STRONG THAT I BECOME SICK AND HAVE A HEADACHE. YOU CAN SMELL FUMES INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN DURING HIGHWAY TRAVEL. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE FOR THE 2016 MAZDA 3, FOR SOME REASON IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY MAZDA 3. IF I WANT TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY MAZDA.
