2016 Mazda CX-3 problems

“What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Rear view camera and speedometer How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Rear view camera restarts and flickers so seeing behind while in reverse is dangerous. The electrical component issues have bled over to the digital speedometer, making it difficult to see the speed at which you are driving. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Unknown Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Unknown Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No”

“THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE CONTAINED MOISTURE FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS, CAUSING DIFFUSED, DIMMED VISIBILITY AT NIGHT...VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, CONCERNED THAT ELECTRICAL MAY BE AFFECTED EVENTUALLY.... Mazda still will not recall and repair?? on fixed income, to pricey for me to repair!”

“While driving on the highway on a posted 65mph, the fuel remaining on the vehicle was posted at 1/4, approx. 75miles remaining. The vehicle abruptly stalled and I managed to pull over on the side of the road. The vehicle then refused to start again. Had to bring it to a fuel station and refueled leading to the vehicle starting again. Dealership diagnosed a bad fuel pump and fuel rail.”

“My recent experience with the service at Putnam Mazda was extremely disappointing and frustrating. What should have been a routine visit turned into a distressing ordeal. My car suddenly died on the freeway without warning lights, prompting me to bring it in for servicing. Initially, I appreciated being offered a loaner car. However, subsequent communication regarding the repair was inadequate and concerning. I received an email stating the necessary part wouldn't be available until July and was abruptly instructed to return the loaner car immediately, with no consideration for my circumstances. This lack of empathy was shocking, especially as a loyal Mazda customer. Furthermore, I experienced racial and gender profiling throughout the ordeal. Instead of addressing my concerns, I was met with aggression and threats of police involvement, making me feel targeted and discriminated against.

“WHILE DRIVING HOME AROUND 35 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD WITH NO CARS, NO BUMPS IN THE ASPHALT, AND NO TREES, MY SUNROOF SUDDENLY SHATTERED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND FINDING RESULTS OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FROM KIA AND NISSAN BASED ON THE SAME PROBLEM, AS WELL AS MAZDA FORUMS WITH CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING OF SUNROOFS SUDDENLY SHATTERING, YET I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THE GLASS IS ALREADY BROKEN THERE IS NO WAY TO VISUALLY TELL IF THERE WAS AN IMPACT OR IF IT WAS DUE TO A DEFECT, AND THE COST IS ON ME. I WANT TO NOTE THIS WITH THE NHTSA SINCE THE PROBLEM IS NOT DUE TO ANYTHING I'VE DONE OR CAUSED. MY MILEAGE IS JUST OVER 16K, WHICH IS AVERAGE FOR THE PROBLEMS ONLINE THAT I'VE FOUND. A COMMON COMPLAINT IS THAT THE SUNROOF TENDS TO "BOW UP IN THE MIDDLE" WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WITH MINE - THE IMAGE INCLUDED SHOWS THIS. THE GLASS MISSING FROM THE IMAGE BROKE AWAY AS I WAS DRIVING HOME.”
