2016 Mazda MAZDA3

WATER GETS INTO THE TRUNK AND FILLS UP THE SPARE TIRE WELL. CAUSING MOLD AND RUST INSIDE TRUNK. THROUGHOUT BARING INSIDE CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION COMPONENT EXPLODES DESTROYING THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION. PARKING BREAK DOESN'T DISENGAGE CORRECTLY CAUSING BRAKES TO WEAR DOWN QUICKLY. WATER GETTING INTO REAR BREAK CALIPERS MAKING THEM DEFECTIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MAINLY IN CITY STREET DRIVING BUT NOTICEABLE ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

THE INFOTAMINMENT SYSTEM COMPUTER IS ON CONSTANT REBOOT LOOP,MAKING IT ALONG WITH ALL ITS FEATURES UNUSABLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE BACKUP CAMERA BLACKS OUT AND ALSO THE HANDS FREE DRIVING IS UNABLE TO BE USED. THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING FINE IN THE MORNING AND WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE HOME IT CRASHED AFTER STARTING THE CAR. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND MAZDA HAS NOT RECALLED THE PART.

MY CAR HAS 28330 MILES. I BOUGHT THE CAR TWO YEARS AGO. LAST WEEK I WAS PARK IN FROM OF MY HOUSE. IN THE MORNING, I GOT IN THE CAR AND MY STEERING WHEEL DOESN'T TURN. I TOOK IT TO MAZDA AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $3200 TO FIX THIS. THEY WON'T TELL MY WHAT HAPPEN OTHER THAN I NEED A NEW STEERING RACKS. I BARELY DRIVE THIS CAR, NEVER ROUGH, ALWAY SERVICE IT. THIS CAR IS TOO NEW TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. MAZDA WILL NOT EVEN TRY TO HELP ME. THIS CAR IS MY LIFELINE.

MY 2016 MAZDA 3 IS DOING THE SAME THING AS WHAT YOU JUST HAD A RECALL ON WITH THE SOFTWARE BUT MAZDA UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND IT'S BACK AGAIN MY CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE GOING IT MISFIRES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IT'S ON IT TAKES A LOT OF RPMS TO GO IT'S SUCKING UP MY GAS I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY BECAUSE MY CAR IS DYING MY FUSE BOX SMOKES EVERY NOW AND THEN AND I ONLY HAVE 45000 MILES THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING

PROBLEM WITH MY 2016 MAZDA 3 4-DOOR. THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT CUSHION TRIM IS COMING OFF THE SEAT FRAME AT THE FRONT END. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE REPORTED IN TECHNICAL BULLETIN 09-025/19 EXCEPT THAT BULLETIN REFERS TO MODELS BUILD IN MEXICO, MINE WAS BUILT IN JAPAN. TULLEY MAZDA WANTS TO CHARGE ME $500 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART.

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO A MAZDA RECALL I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL IN 08/19. I OWN A 2016 MAZDA3 AND THE RECALL NOTICE WAS FOR THE SOFTWARE/DISPLAY CONSOLE. I CALLED HYMAN BROS MAZDA IN NEWPORT NEWS, VA TO MAKE APPT TO GET THIS FIXED ON 08/21/19 AND WAS REFERRED TO THE SERVICE DEPT. I MADE AN APPT AND WAS SEEN ON 08/28/19. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHEN I MADE THE APPT ON 08/21/19 THAT THIS WAS NOT TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE BUT TO LOOK AND CONFIRM THAT IS WHAT I NEEDED. I TOOK TIME OFF WORK FOR WHAT ENDED UP BEING A 5 MIN APPT TO CONFIRM I DID IN FACT NEED THAT PART. HOWEVER I AM STILL WAITING ON THAT PART. I HAVE CALLED WEEKLY FOR A STATUS UPDATE AND THE BEST THE PARTS DEPT. CAN OFFER ME IS THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND NOT SURE WHEN IT WILL COME IN. MEANWHILE I AM STILL DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND THE ELECTRONIC DISPLAY WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORK. THE NAVIGATION FEATURE AT TIMES IS NOT USABLE, OTHER TIMES IT WILL AUTO DIAL NUMBERS IN MY CALL HISTORY WITHOUT MY PROMPTING OR AUTOMATICALLY JUMP FROM ONE RADIO STATION TO ANOTHER. I FEEL THAT IT HAS BECOME UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER I AM EXPECTED TO WAIT ON A PART FROM A NATIONWIDE RECALL TO GET MY CAR FIXED. I CALLED 11 TIMES SINCE 08/19 AND SENT 2 EMAIL REQUESTS THROUGH THE HYMAN BROS MAZDA WEBSITE WITH NO RESPONSE. THE 1ST TIME I SENT THIS QUERY, I RECEIVED AN AUTO MESSAGE ON 09/11/19 STATING THEY RECEIVED MY EMAIL AND WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH ME SHORTLY. THAT WAS OVER A MONTH AGO AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY RESPONSE. THE 2ND TIME I SENT A QUERY ON 10/17/19 AND AGAIN RECEIVED AN AUTO RESPONSE STATING THEY WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH ME BUT STILL NOTHING. ON 10/22/19, THE CAR AUTO-DIALED 5 TIMES AND PREVENTED ME FROM HANGING UP. THIS WAS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AS I WAS DRIVING DISTRACTED TRYING TO SHUT IT OFF. I PARKED THE CAR AND DISCONNECTED THE BLUE TOOTH FEATURE FROM MY CELLPHONE.
