NHTSA Complaint #10618385 — 2012 MAZDA MAZDA3

I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC WHEN I NOTICED A LARGE WHITE SPIDER ABOUT THE SIZE OF MY THUMB COME OUT OF THE DASHBOARD (WHERE THE MPG DISPLAY IS LOCATED). THE FOLLOWING MORNING, I NOTICED ANOTHER SPIDER ON MY DASHBOARD NEAR THE VENT AT THE VERY FRONT. BOTH SPIDERS LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THE WHITE SAC SPIDERS DESCRIBED IN THE MAZDA 6 RECALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TODAY TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THESE SPIDERS ARE KNOWN TO CAUSE IN THE FUEL TANK. MAZDA REFUSED TO LOOK AT MY CAR STATING THAT MY MODEL WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL AND THEREFORE IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. GRANTED MY MODEL IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST, I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES. I ASKED THEM TO WRITE, SIGN AND DATE A PAPER STATING THAT THEY ARE DECLINING TO LOOK INTO MY CAR'S PROBLEM IN THE OFF CHANCE THAT SOMETHING HAPPENS. I WANT TO BE SURE THAT MAZDA IS HELD LIABLE FOR REFUSING TO EVEN LOOK AT MY FUEL TANK. *TR
