I PURCHASED A 2017 MAZDA 6 GRAND TOURING IN JULY 2017, NEW FROM CLASSIC MAZDA IN MENTOR, OHIO. THE DUNLOP TIRES THAT CAME ON MY CARE ARE COMPLETE GARBAGE AND UNSUITABLE TO DRIVE ON IN THE RAIN. THEY BEGIN TO HYDROPLANE WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST AMOUNT OF WATER ON THE ROAD, AND ARE DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS IN ANY WEATHER MORE SEVERE THAN LIGHT RAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN DOZENS OF INSTANCES OF WHITE-KNUCKLE DRIVING 10-15MPH SLOWER THAN THE REST OF TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE CAR BECOMES UNDERIVABLE IN THE RAIN. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE OR TIRES THAT PERFORMED THIS POORLY NOR HAD SUCH A STARK TRANSITION FROM FEELING PLANTED AND CONFIDENCE INSPIRING IN THE DRY TO SLIDING OFF THE ROAD WHEN IT RAINS. THESE TIRES ARE GOING TO GET ME INJURED OR KILLED! AS BAD AS THEY ARE BRAND NEW ON A BRAND NEW CAR, I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE AS THESE BEGIN TO WEAR!!
Mazda North American Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain model year 2017 Mazda6 vehicles manufactured August 12, 2016, to September 28, 2016 and equipped with optional accessory fog lights. Due to an incorrect combination switch being installed, the turn signals may not automatically cancel by the rotation of the steering wheel. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A vehicle continuously driven with the turn signal flashing may result in confusion to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the combination switch, free of charge. The recall began December 2016. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500. Mazda's number for this recall is 0316J.
