Latest MAZDA6 complaints
All of the warning lights on my dashboard light up and beep sporadically. The vehicle stalls when I blow the horn or use the left turn signal, which is extremely dangerous on the freeway. The power steering occasionally fails. I took the vehicle to two service shops to have a diagnostic run and they both said that the code indicated that I would have to take the vehicle to the dealer. I checked the NHTSA website to check for recalls using my year, make and model. I found the NHTSA campaign number 17V-546 and the...

Mazda recall number 1517H, which accurately describes the issues that I am having with my vehicle. I took the car to a Mazda dealership and the service manager informed me that they could not repair the recall because my VIN number was not included in the original recall. I am hoping that Mazda will make the necessary repairs because this is a major safety issue.
Cracker cylinder head at only 68,000 miles on it. No warning came on, only reason we knew it started was oil leaking really bad
The frame rusted through and broke where the lower control arm attaches on the passenger side. This caused an immediate pull to the right and nearly caused a wreck. The car was towed to a local mechanic shop who reported the problem. Mazda is currently not taking responsibility for this even though it was a known issue and a recall was issued for this exact issue.
The contact owns a 2021 Mazda Mazda6. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20-25 MPH, the automatic emergency braking system engaged, causing the vehicle to stop abruptly. The contact's upper body moved back and forth violently. The contact stated that there was no obstacle or other vehicle in front of the vehicle at the time of the failure. The contact sustained back pain. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.
i went to a mechanic to diagnose a clunk and rattle at freeway speeds. i was told a huge piece of metal was loose over a rotted out subframe. i told the mechanic there was a recall for a brace or bracket passenger side of the subframe. but no open recall was showing. he stated i hope this is not the piece a Mazda dealer would provide to fix that. he said it is loose and cannot be reattached and that i need to contact Mazda. he is stating i need a new subframe and the car should have never been sold to me in that condition. and to no longer drive it since it is going to split apart
I'm having an issue getting the recall serviced. Apparently, because the car's VIN number traces it's origin to [[redacted]], Mazda USA is unable to confirm the recall notice and the local dealership (Norcross Mazda) couldn't confirm it either when I tried to book an appointment. Mazda USA and the local Mazda sites both show the open recall on the customer end, but not on the corporate end for some reason. I spoke with a rep at Mazda USA and was told to reach out to Mazda [redacted][[redacted]], but the service rep...

in [[redacted]] told me that the vehicle would have to be there for them to do anything. I'm in [[redacted]]. I've had this car for about two weeks and didn't think it would be this complicated to get this done. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
