Consumer Description
THINGS HAVE BEEN WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE THE DELIVERY DATE. I HAD TO WAIT WHILE THE DEALER REPLACED A FAULTY HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS WAS ONLY A SIGNAL OF THINGS TO COME. THE FRONT BRAKES WERE REPLACED UNDER A TSB AT LESS THAN 12,000 MILES. ALL FOUR OXYGEN SENSORS WERE REPLACED, TWICE, DUE TO VEHICLE STALLING AND MIL COMING ON. FAN CONTROL LIGHT WENT OUT AND REAR HATCH LEAKING. HAD TO ORDER PARTS. CAME BACK FOR SERVICE, WRONG PARTS ORDERED. LIGHT FIXED, HATCH CONTINUED TO LEAK AND STAINED REAR SEAT. BOLSTERS FELL OFF OF THE DRIVERS SEAT. HAD TO ORDER FROM MAZDA- ON BACK ORDER. HATCH FINALLY FIXED ON THIRD VISIT. TRANSMISSION DEVELOPED IRREGULAR SHIFTING PATTERNS, WHICH WERE NEVER VERIFIED BY DEALER. THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. TRANSMISSION ISSUES RETURNED. VALVE BODY REPLACED. INTERMITTENT ENGINE RAPPING HAS BEEN PRESENT, BUT NEVER VERIFIED. DOOR SEALS FALLING OFF. STEERING WHEEL TRIM WON'T STAY ON. I HAVE NOW PURSUED LITIGATION AGAINST MAZDA, NORTH AMERICA. *TR
