VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
4/28/08 I DROVE TO AN APPOINTMENT (25 MILES) AT WHICH POINT IT BEGAN TO RAIN. I INADVERTENTLY TURNED ON THE REAR WIPER AN IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT OFF ONCE I NOTICED IT HIT THE BIKE RACK ON THE BACK. THERE WAS A STRONG ODOROUS BURNING SMELL. THE SMELL WAS STILL PRESENT ON THE MY RETURN TRIP BACK HOME. 4/29/08 I DID NOT NOTICE THE BURNING SMELL TO AND FROM WORK (2 MILES). 4/30/08 ON A TRIP DOWNTOWN I WAS CAUGHT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES BOTH THE KIDS AND I NOTICED A STRONG BURNING SMELL. I ASKED MY SON TO CHECK THE REAR WINDOW AS IT APPEARED SMOKE WAS NOW COMING FROM THE WINDOW/PANEL AREA. HE YELLED THAT IT WAS SMOKE AND THAT WE NEED TO PULL OVER. REAR WIPERS HAD BEEN TURNED OFF SINCE MONDAY. WE WERE ABLE TO GET OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND PARK TO CHECK OUT THE DAMAGE. UPON OPENING THE HATCH A BURNING SMELL WAS QUITE INTENSE. THE PLASTIC COVERING OF THE REAR HATCH (NEAR THE WINDOW) EXTREMELY HOT AND WAS TOO HOT TO TOUCH. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP TO ASK WHAT I SHOULD DO AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS HAD GONE HOME FOR THE DAY (4:30PM). I FIGURED THAT I COULD PULL THE FUSE WHICH WOULD REMOVE THE POWER SOURCE THUS PREVENTING ANY FURTHER DAMAGE. MY SON AND I WERE ABLE TO REMOVE THE FUSE AND IT APPEARED TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR THE RETURN TRIP BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TELL AS THE CAR ALREADY HAD A STRONG BURNING SMELL WITHIN. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY FATHER (A FORMER AUTO WORKER IN MICHIGAN) TO DISCUSS THIS WITH HIM AND HE SAID THE FUSE SHOULD HAVE BLOWN AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE ESCALATED TO THE POINT OF BURNING AND SMOKING. HE COULD PROVIDE NO REASON WHY THE FUSE WOULD NOT HAVE BLOWN. I AM SCHEDULED FOR 5/14/08 TO HAVE THIS INCIDENT EVALUATED BY THE DEALER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:PADS
AT 28,000 MI I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY MAZDA 6 SPORT WAGON--RIGHT SIDE AT 4, LEFT SIDE AT 1. I WENT TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES--THEY ALL SAID THE WEAR WAS INCREDIBLY UNEVEN DUE TO A FAULT WITH THE BRAKES. MY (NO LONGER) MAZDA DEALER SIL-TEHAR IN CO SAID THE DIFFERENCE WAS WITHIN THEIR ACCEPTABLE LIMITS. OBVIOUSLY, I DIDN'T TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE PEOPLE WHO DID SERVICE IT FOUND A PART MISSING--A CLIP THAT HELPS THE PAD SEPARATE FROM THE WHEEL. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAD ACTUALLY TAKEN THE BRAKES APART (UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT) WAS THE DEALER. SO EITHER THEY DIDN'T PUT THE CLIP BACK WHEN THEY TOOK THEM APART OR THE CLIP WAS MISSING TO START--WHICH COULD EXPLAIN THE INCREDIBLY UNEVEN WEAR.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
2005 MAZDA 6 6 CYLINDER WITH 61000 MILES , NEEDS NEW ENGINE. THE ONLY SIGN WAS A SCREECH NOISE A FEW TIMES , TOOK IT TO AN AUTO SHOP, WHERE THEY CHECKED THE BELTS ,AND WE COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE SOUND. STARTED A MINOR OIL LEAK ,AND LESS THAN 4 DAYS LATER ENGINE FAILURE, AND THE DEALER SAYS IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. MAZDA DEALERSHIP SAYS THE OIL LOOKS BLACK AND INDIRECTLY TOLD ME THAT I PROBABLY DID NOT DO REGULAR OIL SERVICES, WHICH IS UNTRUE . I JUST DID NOT USE THE DEALERSHIP. CONTACT THE MAZDA CORPORATE, AND THEY SAID THEY WILL INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM , BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE, WHO I NURSED AND MOSTLY DID LONGER DISTANCE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP REPEATEDLY SAID THAT THE CAR HAS A LOT OF MILES ON THE ODOMETER FOR ITS TWO YEARS OLD. NEVER HAD ANY VEHICLE WHO DISAPPOINTED ME LIKE THIS! EXPENSIVE LESSON FOR ME AND MAZDA HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL AT ALL. EVERY COMMUNICATION HAVE BEEN REALLY VAGUE AND EVERY PERSON WHICH I TALKED TO MADE SURE THAT I THAT I KNOW THAT THE CAR HAVE NOT BEEN MAINTAINED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND STRESSING THE FACT THAT THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE ANY WARRANTY. NOT ANY REAL HELP FROM THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP EXCEPT GIVING ME THE EXPENSIVE QUOTATION FOR A NEW ENGINE. DID NOT OFFER TO TAKE UP THE ISSUE WITH MAZDA CORPORATE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS FAIRLY NEW AND WELL TAKEN CARE OFF. THE WARRANT JUST EXPIRED A 1000 MILES AGO. ANY ONE WITH A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE OF ENGINE FAILURE IN A RELATIVELY NEW CAR? *AK

LEASED 2005 MAZDA 6 IN JULY 2005. SEPTEMBER 2005: TOOK IN FOR SERVICE FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. DEALERSHIP REPLACED A PURGE CANISTER VALVE. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AFTER REPAIRS WERE MADE, I HEARD A HIGH-PITCHED WHIRRING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. TECH DETERMINED NOISE WAS COMING FROM TRANSMISSION. TRANS. WAS REPLACED TWO TIMES; NOISE DID NOT GO AWAY. TECH THEN DETERMINED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THAT WAS REPLACED BUT NOISE REMAINED. TECH THEN SUSPECTED THE FUEL LINES WERE VIBRATING, ADDED A CLIP TO PREVENT RUBBING AND NOISE DISAPPEARED. THAT TOOK 28 DAYS. DAY AFTER VEHICLE LEFT DEALERSHIP, FUEL TANK LEAKED FUEL UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT A CAP HAD NOT BEEN TIGHTENED. CAP WAS TIGHTENED AND CAR WAS RETURNED BUT SMELLED AWFUL. DEALERSHIP SHAMPOOED INTERIOR. JUNE 2006: WHILE DRIVING, TACHOMETER SUDDENLY BOUNCED AND VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR BEING PRESSED. AFTER TURNING CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT, CAR WORKED FINE, BUT WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. TECH REPLACED THROTTLE BODY. APRIL 2007: VEHICLE STALLED WHILE WAITING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART FAILED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. TECH DETERMINED THAT A FUEL PUMP FUSE HAD BECOME DISCONNECTED. FUSE WAS REPLACED. ONE WEEK LATER, FUEL TANK LEAKED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN. FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. I DO NOT HAVE VEHICLE BACK YET. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IN AUGUST OF 2005 I PURCHASED A MAZDA 6 (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). AFTER 2 - 3 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP MY MAZDA DIED ON ME ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP YET NO PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED. 4 - 5 MONTHS LATER MY CAR STALLED WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER THAT, MY MAZDA STALLED AGAIN. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY MY CAR JUST TURNED OFF. IT'S SO ANNOYING BECAUSE I ALWAYS TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE STALLING OCCURS AND THEY CAN NEVER IDENTIFY A PROBLEM; THEY TRY TO RECREATE THE CONDITIONS AND PUT MILES ON MY CAR BUT IT DOESN'T STALL FOR THEM. WHEN IT STALLS THERE IS NO WARNING (I.E NO LIGHTS, ENGINE NOISE,ETC). IT TURNS RIGHT BACK ON IMMEDIATELY; I NOTICE THE LIGHTS AND THE FACT THAT MY ENGINE IS NO LONGER ON. I SIMPLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR RUNS FINE. THIS STALLING OCCURS EVERY 5 - 7 MONTHS. I'VE COMPLAINED AND COMPLAINED TO EVERY MAZDA DEALERSHIP I'VE BEEN TO AND HAVE SENT MULTIPLE EMAILS AND MADE MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE IDENTIFIED THE MAZDA TECHNICIANS CAN OFFER NO REMEDY. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS READING THIS COMPLAINT SECTION AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOMEONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES I WAS HAVING. I OWN A 2005 MAZDA6 SEDAN SPORT -- IT HAS DIED THREE TIMES ON ME, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ONCE AT A STOP SIGN, AGAIN AT A METERING LIGHT ON THE FREEWAY AND THEN AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IN SAN FRANCISCO. I HAVE DOCUMENTED ALL THREE INCIDENTS AND HAVE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY NEVER REALLY FOUND ANYTHING "WRONG" -- BUT OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG IF MY BRAND NEW CAR DIES. THIS WAS BACK IN NOVEMBER AND IT'S BEEN FINE EVER SINCE (IT'S APRIL NOW), BUT I STILL HAVE SOME SORT OF ANXIETY WHEN DRIVING - NOT KNOWING IF I WILL REACH MY DESTINATION OR NOT. *JB
