NHTSA Complaint #10649462 — 2009 MAZDA MAZDA6

MY CAR ALARM HAD BEEN GOING OFF SPORADICALLY FOR ABOUT A YEAR OR MORE (MAYBE ONCE A MONTH), BUT IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULD GO OFF 3-5 DAYS A WEEK. I'D HAD MY DOOR LATCHES INSPECTED AT THE END OF 2013 FOR A RECALL THAT ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T ELECTRICAL IN NATURE, ELECTRICAL ISSUES COULD DEVELOP IF IT'S NOT REPAIRED. SO, I WAS NOT EXPECTING THERE TO BE ANY ISSUES WITH THEM, BUT WAS SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT NOT ONE BUT BOTH OF MY REAR DOOR ACTUATORS WERE DEFECTIVE. AFTER GETTING THAT FIXED THE VERY DAY I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE FROM GETTING REPAIRS I NOTICED MY PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WAS SHINY, AND APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN POLISHED. I LATER LEARN THAT LOOK ACTUALLY CAME FROM THE DASHBOARD MELTING. NOW I HAVE MELTING TOXIC MATERIAL, THAT ALSO CAN CAUSE A GLARE, IN MY VEHICLE. *TR
