2015 Mazda Mazda3 Complaint Log

THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE PAD HAS A PROBLEM AND IT STUCK ON EVEN WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL, THIS DEFECT CAUSE SOME NOISE WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPING AND CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR ON THE BRAKE PAD AND ROTORS. *TR

I'VE HAD TO REPLACE BACK BRAKES TWICE IN 4 YEARS. NOW CALIPERS HAVE GONE OUT WHICH RUINED ROTORS AND PADS. IT LOOKS LIKE OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH CALIPERS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND WEARING THE BRAKES PREMATURELY.

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM RESTARTS 3 TO 5 TIMES, WHEN FIRST STARTING CAR, WHEN TEMPERATURES IN UNHEATED GARAGE ARE BELOW 50 DEGREES. I DRIVE FOUR TO EIGHT MILES, WITH HEATER ON, BEFORE IT STOPS RESTARTING. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER 3 TIMES, WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. ALL THEY DO IS REBOOT IT. NOW THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND I REFUSE TO TAKE IT BACK, AND BE CHANGED FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED THE FIRST TIME. THIS JUST MIGHT BE A DEAL BREAKER IN BUYING A MAZDA AS MY NEXT CAR. VERY ANNOYING.

MY SPOUSE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD SOUND. HE SCANNED THE SURROUNDINGS AND DID NOT SEE ANY UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE. HE FELT COLD AIR AND NOISE AND WHEN HE LOOK UP, HIS SUNROOF IS GONE, JUST A FEW GLASS LEFT ON THE SIDE LOOKING LIKE GRANULES. HE HAD SPONTANEOUS SUNROOF EXPLOSION.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE GHOSTING ISSUE WITH MY INFOTAINMENT SCREEN. THIS IS HAPPENING IN MANY MAZDA 3'S THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND IS A BIG SAFETY HAZARD AS IT IS DISTRACTING WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. CURRENTLY IT IS A WARRANTY ISSUE BUT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL INSTEAD AND I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED. MY REASONING FOR THIS IS WHEN I AM DRIVING THE SCREEN WILL GO CRAZY AND SELECT WHAT IT WANTS TO AND PLACE CALLS AND GO INTO A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT AREAS. THIS CAUSE ME AND OTHER DRIVERS TO TAKE OUR EYES OF THE ROAD AND ALSO OUR HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL TO CANCEL CALLS OR TO EXIT WHERE THE SCREEN DECIDES TO GO.THIS IN TURN CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THE TOUCH FEATURE IN THE SETTINGS ITSELF SO I CANT DISABLE THIS FUNCTION IF I WANTED TO WITHOUT TAKEN APART THE DASH AND VOIDING MY WARRANTY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY, IN MOTION, IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS OFF AND ON THROUGH THE WEEK.

BOUGHT NEW IN 2015. INFOMAT SYSTEM REBOOTS 3 OR 4 TIMES WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW 40 DEGREES AT START UP IN A UNHEATED GARAGE ALSO WHILE DRIVING AND COLD ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. TOOK TO DEALER A COUPLE TIMES, AND INFORMED THEM OF THE PROBLEM WHILE STILL WARRANTED, ALL THEY DID WAS REBOOT THE SYSTEM. STILL DOING IT AFTER 4 YEARS. VERY FRUSTRATING, BUT NOW IT'S ON MY DIME. ONE TIME IT WENT COMPLETELY BLACK, SO I FIGURED OUT HOW TO REBOOT IT.

DRIVING INTO A RAMP AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. I THEN SLIPPED OFF THE CURVE THE EXTERNAL OF THE CAR IS NOT DAMAGED AND I'M NOT HURT.

2015 MAZDA 3. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE BRAKES. *LD *JS

LIKE MANY OTHER MAZDA 3 OWNERS, I HAVE HAD WATER ENTER MY CALIPERS AND BIND, LEAVING BRAKES ACTIVATED ON THE ROTORS WEARING DOWN THE BRAKES FASTER THAN NORMAL. APPROX 65,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND I AM CURRENTLY GETTING MY THIRD SET OF BRAKES AND ROTORS INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE, WITH NEW CALIPERS THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. AFTER CONTACTING MAZDA, MY VIN SPECIFIC DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN FROM MAZDA AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL MODELS.

I STARTED NOTICING A SQUEAL FROM MY REAR BRAKES THAT WOULD OCCUR AT THE BEGINNING OF DRIVING (NOT WHILE BRAKING) THEN GO AWAY AFTER 1 OR 2 STOPS. ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, THE DAY I USED MY HANDBRAKE TO PARK, AFTER MY 25 MINUTE COMMUTE HOME I NOTICED A HOT METAL SMELL. I PUT MY HAND UP TO MY DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL AND FELT INTENSE HEAT FROM THE BRAKES. SAW THE ROTORS WERE DUG IN. I BOUGHT REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS AND CHANGED THEM OUT MYSELF. THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR SHAFT WAS STUCK, BINDING THE BRAKES ON BOTH REAR CALIPERS. THE METAL AROUND THE BOOT OF BOTH SHAFTS ON THE CALIPER LOOK WET. THE PISTON OF THE CALIPER WAS EASILY ROTATED BACK IN AFTER UNBINDING THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR SHAFT. PARKING BRAKE NOW IS UNHOOKED DUE TO IT BEING UNSAFE. THIS HAPPENED ON BOTH PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR SHAFTS ON THE REAR CALIPERS AFTER ONLY 24,900 MILES.

PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE CALIPER DOES NOT RETRACT PROPERLY AND WEARS OUT BRAKE PADS QUICKLY. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPEN AT LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN.

POWER MOONROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH ON A CITY STREET. IT WAS ABOUT 52DEG F ON A CLOUDY DAY. MY WIFE WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT & GLASS FELL IN ON US. WE PULLED OVER AND CLEANED UP MOST OF IT.

MAZDA INFOTAINMENT DISPLAY PROBLEM: THE TOUCH PANEL ON MY 2015 MAZDA3 OPERATES BY ITSELF AND DOES NOT ACCEPT TOUCH COMMANDS PROPERLY. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY CAR, BUT A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH FOR "MAZDA 3 INFOTAINMENT GOING CRAZY" RETURNED SEVERAL THOUSAND ARTICLES AND VIDEOS FROM FRUSTRATED MAZDA CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. THESE DEFECTIVE DISPLAYS CREATE HAZARDOUS DRIVING ENVIRONMENTS FOR ME AND OTHERS WHO LIVE IN STATES WITH 'HANDS-FREE' LAWS.

2015 MAZDA 3 WITH 75000 MILES. TRANSMISSION IN VEHICLE FAILED SPECIFICALLY THE MAIN BEARING. TRANSMISSION IS NEEDING TO BE REBUILT. REPAIR SHOP ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE CLUTCHES WERE BURNED OUT. SYMPTOMS: DELAYED ENGAGEMENT WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD. FLAIR SHIFTING FROM 3-4.

MY CARS INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, WHICH INCLUDES THE REARVIEW CAMERA, STARTED MALFUNCTIONING IN EARLY 2019. THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN (FOR THE CLOCK, RADIO, GPS AND REARVIEW CAMERA) WAS IN A REBOOT LOOP (CONSTANTLY REBOOTING OVER AND OVER). WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN REVERSE, THE REARVIEW CAMERA WORKS SPORADICALLY, INCLUDING SHUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF REVERSING THE CAR. I TOOK THE CARE TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND (PER THE SERVICE INVOICE ATTACHED), THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS "CMU FAILURE" WHICH WOULD COST ME $1000 (ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS) TO FIX. I REFUSED, AS I DID NOT THINK IT WAS APPROPRIATE FOR THE CMU TO FAIL ROUGHLY FOUR (4) YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND IT'S EVIDENT THAT MANY OTHER MAZDA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS WHILE THE CAR IS BEING OPERATED, CREATING A SERIOUS DISTRACTION FOR THE DRIVER. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SYSTEM CAN BE TUNED TO THE RADIO AND THEN IT WILL RANDOMLY SWITCH TO THE PHONE FUNCTION AND DIAL A NUMBER AGAIN AT RANDOM FROM MY CONTACTS LIST.TRYING TO DISENGAGE THE CALL DOESN'T WORK AS IT KEEPS DIALING OR WILL REDIAL. THIS HAPPENS REPEATEDLY. IT WILL ALSO AT TIMES CHOOSE A RADIO STATION WHICH IS NOT THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN SELECTED. WHILE THESE MAY SOUND MINOR THEY CREATE A HAZARD BECAUSE THE DRIVER IS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL THE COMMUNICATIONS FEATURES WHEN THEY TAKE ON A LIFE OF THEIR OWN.

TAKATA RECALL THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IS GOING HAYWIRE, MAKING GHOSTS SELECTIONS SUCH AS CALLING PPL, SELF SELECTING SETTINGS AND ALL OTHER BUTTONS AT RANDOM TIMES DURING DRIVING WHICH HAS BECOME EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE TO MAZDA BUT THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT. ALL THEY WILL OFFER IS SWAPPING IT FOR ANOTHER INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM THAT WILL EVENTUALLY DO THE SAME THING AGAIN AT THE CUSTOMERS EXPENSE. THIS TAKES PLACE WHILE THE CAR IS TRAVELING AT 5MPH OR LESS SO IT MOST FREQUENTLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM SLOWING TO TAKE TURNS OR TRAVELING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND WHILE AT A STOP AT RANDOM TIMES. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE SYSTEM ONCE IT STARTS GLITCHING AND MAKING CALLS AND CHANGING SETTINGS OR DIALING NUMBERS, I CANT HANG UP IM FORCED TO DISCONNECT THE BLUETOOTH FROM THE PHONE BUT THAT ONLY PREVENTS IT FROM MAKING CALLS IT STILL CONTINUES TO GO TO THE SETTING AT PRESS RANDOM BUTTONS

COMMING TO A STOP CAR DIDNT SLOW DOWN AND WHEN EMERGENCY LEVER WAS PULLED FOR A STOP IT DIDNT WORK! RECALL NOTICE1217F NHTSA NUMBER17V393

THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM HAS A GHOST FEATURE: IT STARTS TO DIAL NUMBERS AUTOMATICALLY, CHANGE STATIONS WITHOUT ANY USER INPUT AND MANY OTHER DISRUPTIONS AS IF THERE IS A CLOUD MONKEY INSTALLED IN THE SYSTEM. ISSUE EXISTS AFTER RESETTING THE SYSTEM. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE SYSTEM AND I AM JUST DRIVING AROUND WITH THE SYSTEM BEEPING ALL THE WAY. IT IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND IS AFFECTING THE DRIVING. MAZDA DEALER CHARGED $150 TO SAY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE IS TO REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM: COST $1500. I REACHED OUT TO MAZDA USING THEIR OWNER'S PORTAL AND GOT NO RESPONSE. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME SOMEONE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS HIDDEN FEATURE OF MAZDA.

ON 11/19 AT APPROXIMATELY 4:00 PM TRAVELING AT ABOUT 20 MPH ON A TWO LANE STREET WITH NO VISIBLE VEHICLES AROUND A POP SOUND FOLLOWED BY GLASS ROLLING OFF THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE OCCURRED; A FAILURE OF THE SUNROOF.

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55 MPH. WEATHER WAS SUNNY ABOUT 70 DEGREES. NO APPARENT REASON WHY THIS WOULD OCCUR (IE. NO ROCKS HIT THE CAR, ETC). GLASS SHATTERED INTO DRIVER SIDE OF CAR AND BACK SEATS. HOLE IN THE GLASS WAS IN MIDDLE OF THE PANE AND EXPANDED OUT. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 50K MILES.

I TOOK MY CAR TO A BRAKE SHOP BECAUSE OF SCRAPING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. THE PASSENGER REAR BRAKE WAS PREMATURELY WORN BECAUSE THE BRAKE WAS CONSTANTLY ENGAGED. THE BRAKE REPAIR SHOP HAS SEEN THIS ISSUE ON MAZDA3 AND INFORMED ME IT WAS PART OF A RECALL, AND THAT THIS POSES A POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK TO ME WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC SHOP HANDED ME A SHEET WITH THE RECALL CAMPAIGN 17V393000. I CALLED THE 800 222 5500 FOR MAZDA ON INFORMATION ON THE RECALL. BUT BECAUSE MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE SYSTEM UNDER THIS CAMPAIGN I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL REPAIR. SHOULD I BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN REGARDLESS OF VIN NUMBER IF THE ISSUE IS THE SAME IS IDENTICAL TO RECALL ISSUE.

I WENT INTO THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE A REPAIR COMPLETED FOR THE BRAKE RECALL. THE MECHANIC CLAIMED TO HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING COMPLETELY. HOWEVER, THE MAZDA WEBPAGE IS SHOWING THE RECALL HAVING BEEN DONE INCOMPLETE.

The infotainment system sometimes has "ghost touches" where random buttons on the screen are pressed without a physical press. This is dangerous because it is extremely distracting to the driver. It often changes songs or calls a random person on my phone contact list. This requires me to quickly and constantly press the "back" button for the infotainment system to prevent it from placing a call. This forces my attention and hands away from the core task of driving while the car is in motion.

LEFT SIDE OF DRIVER'S SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT LIFTER LINK IS BROKEN. DRIVERS'S SEAT ROCKS ON THE LEFT SIDE DURING BRAKING, ACCELERATION, AND WHEN STATIONARY. THIS IS DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT COULD ALSO LEAD TO A MORE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA 3. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GUNTHER MAZDA (1800 S STATE RD 7, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33317, (954) 797-1600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO LOU BACHRODT MAZDA COCONUT CREEK (5400 SR 7, COCONUT CREEK, FL 33073, (954) 247-5000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER:17V-393 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER:1217F RECALL ISSUED JUNE 22, 2017 NO MANUFACTURER FIX AVAILABLE, YET AS OF OCTOBER 27, 2017 SUMMARY ON THE MECHANICAL (CABLE) TYPE PARKING BRAKE, WATER MAY ENTER THE BRAKE CALIPER DUE TO INAPPROPRIATE SEALING PERFORMANCE OF THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER PROTECTIVE BOOT, PARTICULARLY UNDER LOW TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS, AND THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR SHAFT, WHICH IS THE COMPONENT OF REAR BRAKE CALIPER, MAY BE RUSTED. SAFETY RISK DESCRPITION IF THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE USED WITH SUCH CONDITION, THE RUST MAY PROGRESS, INCREASING THE SLIDING RESISTANCE OF THE ACTUATOR SHAFT. IN EXTREME CASES, THE RUSTED ACTUATOR SHAFT MAY GET STUCK IN THE BRAKE CALIPER BODY, CAUSING BRAKE DRAGGING WHILE DRIVING AND DECREASING THE PARKING BRAKE HOLDING FORCE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT OF VEHICLE IF PARKED ON A SLOPE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A COLLISION. REMEDY YOUR MAZDA DEALER WILL CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR SHAFTS INSIDE THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR BRAKE CALIPERS. IF THE ACTUATOR SHAFT IS FOUND TO BE RUSTED, THE BRAKE CALIPER ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH A MODIFIED ONE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS AND THE CAR WENT DEAD RIGHT AFTER I EXITED THE FREEWAY. IT WAS VERY SCARY. I PUSHED THE START ENGINE BUTTON AND THE CAR STARTED AND I CONTINUED MY DRIVE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALER.

REARVIEW CAMERA- HAS NOT CONSISTENTLY WORKED FOR TWO YEARS - I GET EITHER A BLACK SCREEN WITH THE STANDARD BACKUP WARNING, A FLICKERING/ROLLING SCREEN, NO CHANGE FROM HAVING IT IN DRIVE/PARK OR IT WORKS. THE FLICKERING SCREEN DOES SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE ON DAMP/WET DAYS, BUT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME. HAVING LIMITED NECK MOVEMENT, THIS DEVICE IS ESSENTIAL. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER, SEEMS TO WORK, SHOWED THEM VIDEOS, THEY SAY UNLESS THEY SEE THE CAMERA IN OPERATION, NOTHING CAN BE DONE. ATTACHED IS ONE STILL PHOTO (TAKEN 8 SEP 17, I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ROLLING SCREEN.

TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 100000 BECAUSE OF BEARING IN THE TRANSMISSION. NOW TRANSMISSION MAKING THE SAME NOISE OF 111,000 MILES AFTER BEING REPLACED. MAZDA WAS PURCHASED AT PAUL MILLER MAZDA LEXINGTON KENTUCKY. TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BECAME NOTICEABLE WHILE IN MOTION IT STARTS WITH A LOW NOISE AND THE AIR IS THE BEARING GETS USED MORE AND MORE FROM DAY TO DAY USES HE GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER SPECIALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS FROM 10 TO 60 MILES AN HOUR IT'S QUITE NOTICEABLE STOPS WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPS. WAS INFORMED BY PAUL MILLER MAZDA THIS WAS THE ONLY SECOND ISSUE THEY'VE HAD WITH TRANSMISSIONS AND IT WAS NOT A ROUTE FIX WITHOUT REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. I PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY AT PURCHASE OF THE MAZDA AND IT'S A GOOD THING I DID BECAUSE NOW I'M ON MY SECOND TRANSMISSION WITH A 2015 MAZDA WITH 111,000 MILES AND IT'S ALREADY BEEN THROUGH TWO TRANSMISSIONS ONE AT 101,000 AND NOW AGAIN AT 111000 LESS THAN 9000 MILES AFTER THE REPLACEMENT. TRANSMISSION WASN'T A NEW TTHAT WAS PUT IN THE 2015 MAZDA, IT WAS A TRANSMISSION WHICH I WAS TOLD HAD ONLY 8000 MILES BY PAUL MILLER MAZDA AND MILLENNIUM INSURANCE.

SAFETY RECALL 1217F RECEIVED 8/2017. TO DATE "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." THIS TIME (NOW 6 MONTHS) SEEMS TO BE AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF WAIT TIME FOR THE PARTS TO BE RECEIVED BY MY MAZDA DEALER. WHAT IN YOUR VIEW IS "A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME"?

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY LEAVING WORK WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG, THEN NOTICED MY SUNROOF HAD A LARGE HOLE IN IT. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE AND TO SEE WHAT COULD HAVE HIT ME, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY IMPACT- WITH BARELY ANY GLASS INSIDE THE CAR. THE BREAK LOOKS LIKE IT EXPLODED OUTWARDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA 3. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WERE DRAGGING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V393000 (SERVICE BRAKES). THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

HOT WEATHER ACCELERATION AND BLIND SPOT MONITORING SYSTEM (BSM) ISSUE: IN EXTREMELY HOT WEATHER BSM OFF LIGHT TURNS ON REPEATEDLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STARTING FROM COMPLETE STOP. AT THE SAME TIME THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM DISPLAY FLICKERS IN SYNC WITH THE BSM OFF LIGHT APPEARANCE. WHEN THIS OCCURS THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR/WHERE THE ENGINE IS LOCATED. THE SOUND IS ACCOMPANIED BY TEMPORARY LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHEN IN MOTION OR STARTING TO MOVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN THIS OCCURS WHILE STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE REVOLUTIONS (REV) DROPS BELOW 1K RPM DESPITE GAS PEDAL INPUT THUS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE/ACCELERATE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. WHEN IT OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION SUCH AS ON THE HIGHWAY OR MERGING ONRAMP INTO THE HIGHWAY THE CAR UNSAFELY SLOWS DOWN DESPITE GAS PEDAL INPUT. AGAIN THIS ISSUE IS OBSERVED DURING UNUSUALLY HOT DAYS EG. JULY 22, 2017 IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

PARKING BREAK DOES NOT HOLD OR RELEASES AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED (FLAT OR HILL SURFACES) CAR HAS ROLLED 3 TIMES IN PARKING LOTS SITUATION. 3RD TIME CAR ROLLED AFTER BEING STATIONARY FOR 45 MIN. I WITNESSED CAR LOCKED ROLLING IN THE LOT AS I CAM OUT AND CLICKED THE DOOR LOCKS FROM DISTANCE OF 20 FT AWAY. CAR ROLLED SILENTLY - COULD HAVE HIT ANYONE BEHIND IT IN THE PARKING LOT AREA - VERY VERY DANGEROUS! MAZDA CLAIMS MY CAR VIN NO. IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR MAZDA 3 AND MAZDA 6S THAT HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM - PARKING BRAKES NOT HOLDING. I BEG TO DIFFER. THE FIRST 2 TIMES THIS HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS ME, BUT NOW AM CONVINCED CAR HAS AN ISSUE. HAVE DRIVEN STICK / MANUAL WITH PARKING BRAKE FOR 23 YEARS AND NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. NOW, HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS. AM HAVING BRAKES INSPECTED AT THE DEALERSHIP LOOKING FOR CORROSION OR OTHER ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE BRAKE TO NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY - NO MATTER WHAT MAZDA CLAIMS - THIS IS LIKELY A DESIGN ISSUE ON MY VIN NUMBER AS WELL. RECALL IS 1217F - FOR VEHCILES 14-16.. ONLY THOSE WITH HAND BRAKES LIKE MINE. MAZDA IMPLIED I DID NOT SET PARKING BRAKE. I BEG TO DIFFER. READ THE PART WHEN I'VE DRIVEN 2 STICK SHIFTS FOR 23 YEARS - WITH NO ROLL ISSUES EVER. ALL 3 ROLLS OCCURED IN PARKING LOTS, WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD THE BRAKE SET. I NOW LEAVE CAR IN FIRST GEAR AND USE PARKING BRAKES. JUST TO BE SURE. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. OTHER VEHICLES SHOULD BE CHECKED AND OWNERS NOTIFIED.

The contact owns a 2015 Mazda Mazda3. The contact stated that while reversing, the rear-view camera image was distorted, black, and failed to appear on the center display. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where an unknown software was reprogrammed; however, the failure persisted. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V487000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,953. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I WENT TO GO STEP ON BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AS I WAS COMING UP ON A VEHICLE THAT WAS STOPPED DUE TO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME WHEN MY BRAKES LOCKED UP AND I SLID RIGHT INTO THE GUY. I TRIED TO TURN MY WHEEL TO GO ON SHOULDER, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND IN TRAFFIC. I WASN'T SPEEDING AS THERE WAS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO AS TRAFFIC WAS IN PLAY, BUT OUR LANE STARTED TO MOVE AND I STAYED BACK AND WHEN I WENT TO STEP ON BRAKES, THEY LOCKED UP.

ON THE MECHANICAL (CABLE) TYPE PARKING BRAKE, WATER MAY ENTER THE BRAKE CALIPER DUE TO INAPPROPRIATE SEALING PERFORMANCE OF THE REAR BRAKE CALIPER PROTECTIVE BOOT, PARTICULARLY UNDER LOW TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS, AND THE PARKING BRAKE ACTUATOR SHAFT, WHICH IS THE COMPONENT OF REAR BRAKE CALIPER, MAY BE RUSTED. IF THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE USED WITH SUCH CONDITION, THE RUST MAY PROGRESS, INCREASING THE SLIDING RESISTANCE OF THE ACTUATOR SHAFT. IN EXTREME CASES, THE RUSTED ACTUATOR SHAFT MAY GET STUCK IN THE BRAKE CALIPER BODY, CAUSING BRAKE DRAGGING WHILE DRIVING AND DECREASING THE PARKING BRAKE HOLDING FORCE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT OF VEHICLE IF PARKED ON A SLOPE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A COLLISION.

I HAVE HAD MY MAZDA 3 AS A BRAND NEW CAR SINCE 2015. JUST 2 YEARS LATER, MY AC COMPRESSOR FAILS AND I HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THERE ARE NOT EVEN PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE AC COMPRESSOR YET. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE MECGANIC, THEY THINK IT JUST NEEDS A RECHARGE. BUT, AFTER THE SERVICE, THE AIR IS STILL NOT BLOWING COLD. THE AC COMPRESSOR IS FROZEN. THE AC COMPRESSORS ON MAZDAS ARE FAULTY. I HAD TO REPLACE THE SAME ON MY 2006 MAZDA, JUST A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING IT. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING MAZDA AGAIN.

DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY PULLED TO THE LEFT. CAR WENT OFF THE HIGHWAY RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS. PART OF THE STEERING RACK AND PINION MAY HAVE CRACKED. WHEN LOOKING AT THE PART IT APPEARS TO HAVE AN OLD CRACK ALONG WITH A FRESH LOOKING BREAK.

ON SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 2017 AT 11:00 A.M., I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 MAZDA 3 (S TOURING) BACK TO KNOXVILLE, TN FROM YORK, PA. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF OF DRIVING (NEAR SHIPPENSBURG, PA), I HEARD A LOUD SOUND LIKE A GUN SHOT AND DEBRIS HITTING THE TOP OF THE CAR AND THEN REALIZED THAT MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. I WAS IN LIGHT TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, TRAVELING AT THE 70 MPH SPEED LIMIT. I WAS NOT BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE NOR WAS MY CAR STRUCK BY ANYTHING FROM THE ROAD OR THE AIR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ABOUT MY SITUATION, I LEARNED THAT THE NHTSA REFERS TO THIS PROBLEM AS "SPONTANEOUS SUNROOF BREAKAGE."
