SUSPENSION:FRONT, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT
WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT, THERE'S A HARD POPPING/CLUNKING NOISE. WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TWICE & THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME WE HAD IT LOOKED AT WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE MIGHT BE A STRESS FRACTURE IN THE FRONT AXLE AND THAT THE CV BOOT/JOINT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE CV BOOT/JOINT ONCE BEFORE AND REPLACED THE STRUTS ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR TWICE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. WE ARE NOW HAVING TO REPLACE THE STRUTS AGAIN (ON THE ADVICE OF AN ASE MECHANIC) AND FIND OUT THAT THESE HAVE BEEN ON FACTORY BACKORDER FOR MONTHS (WHICH TELLS ME THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT SUSPENSION ON THESE CARS). THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION FOR FEAR THAT THE FRONT AXLE MAY SNAP AND CAUSE A SERIOUS FATAL ACCIDENT.*AK

SEATS
THE FRONT SEAT CAME LOOSE AND WAS ROCKING CREATING THE SAFETY PROBLEM. IT REMAINED ATTACHED ON THE RIGHT SIDE BUT THE LEFT SIDE WAS LOOSE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT TO CAUSE THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT . I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY WOULD SAID TO CONTACT MAZDA. I CONTACTED MAZDA AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAD OVER 100,000 MILES AND WERE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE COST TO MAKE THE SEAT SAFE AGAIN. I ASKED IF SAFETY HAD A MILEAGE LIMIT AND WAS TOLD NO BUT THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED IN FIXING THE SEAT. I THINK IT VIOLATES THE INTENT OF FMVSS 207 AND TOLD THEM SO.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF FOR SOME TIME NOW. IT WOULD COME ON FOR A WHILE THEN GO OUT THEN COME ON AGAIN THEN GO OUT AGAIN. IN JULY OF THIS YEAR I TOOK THE CAR FOR A DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BUT THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A TUNEUP WHICH I GOT BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A WEEK LATER. ALSO MY DASHBOARD LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OUT AND COMING ON ALSO. IT STARTED BY GOING OUT WHEN I PUT MY SIGNALS ON TO TURN A CORNER IT WOULD GO OUT THEN COME BACK ON NOW IT GOES OUT AND SOMETIMES IT WONT COME ON AT ALL. I NOTICED IF I PUSHED THE LIGHT CONTROL SWITCH IN AND HOLD IT THATS THE ONLY TIME IT WILL STAY ON AS SOON AS I LET IT GO IT GOES OUT. THEN NOW MY TAILLIGHTS ARE OUT AND I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY LOOK AT THE FUSES AND TRY TO SEE WHY I DONT HAVE ANY LIGHTS BACK THERE AND THEY SAID THEY COULDNT SEE WHY THE LIGHTS WERE OUT. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE WHOLE THING APART TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR SO THATS WHEN I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE IS SOME ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE OR SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I ALSO SEE THEY HAD A RECALL ON THE CAR A YEAR AGO WHICH I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT. *AK
