IN AUGUST I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE OF A BRAKE PROBLEM. THE LETTER INSTRUCTED US TO WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION THAT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY TWO MONTHS SINCE I GOT THE NOTIFICATION. I HAVE CALLED THE COMPANY, AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. BECAUSE THE BRAKES ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF SAFETY, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MAZDA HAS NOT PERFORMED THE REPAIRS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT IN MOUNTAIN VIEW AT CALIFORNIA AVE. IN CALIFORNIA , AS I PULLED AWAY FROM A RED LIGHT INTERSECTION AND I DECIDED TO DO A PASSING MANUEVER ON THE VEHICLE NEXT TO ME I FULLY DEPPRESED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY AND FELT THE GAS PEDAL GIVE THE RIGHT AND MOVED TO THE LEFT AND QUICKLY LOST FEELING OF GAS PEDAL AND BECAME A SAFETY ISSUE AS A PULLED OVER I NOTICED THE DAMAGED GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY. TOOK THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY AND THE LOOKED AT IT AND SEEN THE DAMAGE. THEY SAID THEY NEVER SEEN A ISSUE LIKE THIS BEFORE, I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANY DRIVER.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WENT INTO A COMPLETE STALL. IT CONTINUED TO ROLL AND THE CHECK CHECK ENGINE LINE, TIRE PRESSURE, POWER STEERING LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL, KEY NOT PRESENT. THE CAR DIDN'T START RIGHT BACK UP. THE KEY HAD TO BE PUT TO THE START BUTTON BEFORE THE CAR RESTARTED. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED. WE LEFT THE VEHICLE AND 2 HOURS LATER WE RESTARTED THE CAR TO DETERMINE IF IT NEEDED TOWED. IT STARTED BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON AT THAT TIME. DROVE THE CAR HOME AND LEFT IT PARKED UNTIL WE DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WERE THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. WE WERE SENT HOME. NOW WE ARE NOT DRIVING THE CAR DUE TO FEAR OF RANDOM STALL. THERE WAS A RECALL OF MADZA 3 2016 BUT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE INFO AS FOLLOWS NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 15V621000, NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 16V685000, NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 16V684000. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING AT THIS TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 MAZDA 3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V393000 (PARKING BRAKE) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION IN AUGUST OF 2017.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE REACHED; HOWEVER, DUE TO THE WAIT TIME, THE CONTACT DISCONNECTED THE CALL. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I PULLED OVER AS BEST I COULD AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT RATS HAVE CHEWED THROUGH THE ENGINE HARNESS AND OTHER WIRING. THEY SAY THEY HAVE SEEN DOZENS OF CASES IN BROOKLYN AND QUEENS JUST LIKE THIS. THEY SAID THAT RATS ARE ATTRACTED TO THE COATING ON THE WIRES. MAZDA WON'T ISSUE A RECALL OR REPAIR THE WIRING. IT IS A FIRE HAZARD AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED OR DIE BEFORE THEY FIX IT? MY CAR IS 18 MONTHS OLD WITH 7,062 MILES. I WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET IN BROOKLYN AND HAD ONLY DRIVEN 3 BLOCKS WITHOUT MAKING ANY TURNS WHEN I HAD TO PULL OVER. MY CAR IS LOCATED AT KOEPPEL MAZDA 718-721-9100. THEY SHOULD HAVE ALL OF THE DETAILS OF THE DAMAGE IF YOU NEED IT. I DRIVE THE CAR ALMOST EVERY DAY AND IT IS PARKED ON A DIFFERENT STREET EVERY DAY. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN OR WHICH STREET THIS HAPPENED ON.

THE CLUTCH FAILED AT 7000 MILES. DEALER, HENNESSEY MAZDA IN ATLANTA SUBURBS, DENIES RESPONSIBILITY, WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY, ATTRIBUTES FAILURE TO DRIVER MISUSE. DRIVER DENIES "'RIDING THE CLUTCH" AND MAJORITY OF USE WAS HIGHWAY TRAVEL. DEALER QUOTED REPAIR COST AT $1600, LATER REDUCED TO $1126. CLUTCH FAILED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT NEAR RESIDENCE. DRIVER WAS THEN UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR; CAR BECAME DISABLED AT TRAFFIC INTERSECTION.

WHEN DRIVING ANY TIME THE SUN IS OUT, REFLECTIONS FROM THE DASH AGAINST THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD ARE VERY PRONOUNCED AND CAN SIGNIFICANTLY EFFECT VISIBILITY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS AND I KNOW ALL CARS HAVE THE PHENOMENON ON OCCASION. UNFORTUNATELY THIS MAZDA 3 RESTRICTS VISION AS I HAVE DESCRIBED EVERY DAY THE SUN IS OUT FOR 90% OF THE DRIVING TIME. IT IS MORE THAN A DISTRACTION, I BELIEVE IT IS A HAZARD AND ACCIDENTS WILL OCCUR BECAUSE OF IT.
