The contact owns a 2011 Mazda Mazda2. The contact stated while driving at 70 mph, the glass sunroof spontaneously exploded and shattered causing the glass to enter the vehicle. The contact stated that no object hit or caused the sunroof to shatter. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road to clean up the class that was in the vehicle and then continued driving to the residence. The vehicle was diagnosed but not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage 150,000. Consumer stated sunroof was an aftermarket installation.

We had our rack and pinion steering replaced at the mazda dealer on november 20, 2018 due to clonking in the steering rack. My son is reporting that the clonking and steering is much worse when sitting still and turning the steering wheel and when making right and left hand turns while driving. He also said that the car doesn't want to steer straight on the freeway. I replaced the front pads and rotors and front struts in 2018 as well. I inspected the struts and brakes and suspension today and found them to be in excellent condition. I find that the rack and pinion is defective.

The driver seat shifts from the base, on occasion it has slid forward. The car was in motion when this took place but I was able to push back and it went back into place. There could be bolts that have been loosened.

I was notified of a recall. I attempted to get the repair done at my local mazda dealer. Scheduling the appointment was challenging, when I arrived, interactions were stressful. I dropped my car off, within 45 min, I was called stating that they did not have the part needed to fix the recall, but that they would call me when they did. They sent a follow-up email asking about the visit and I was very candid & honest in the reply. The appointment was 6-8-19. I have yet to receive a call that the part has arrived.
