NHTSA Complaint #10731854 — 2005 MAZDA MAZDA6

MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT HEADLIGHT ISSUE FIRST BEGAN ABOUT 50K MILES (OCT. 2012). THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AND I WENT TO REPLACE THE BULB BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN ON. MY MECHANIC FIXED THE BRAKES AROUND THE SAME TIME AND TOOK AROUND THE BLOCK, WENT OVER A BUMP AND THE BULB CAME BACK ON. I'VE HAD ISSUE EVER SINCE. USUALLY I CAN GIVE IT A LITTLE TAP AND IT WILL COME BACK ON. NOT THIS TIME! IVE REPLACED THE BULB TWICE SINCE 2013, IT'S AT 80,555 MILES NOW AND IT WON'T COME BACK ON AT ALL! THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL, FOR I'VE SEARCHED THE INTERENT AND FOUND MANY MAZDA 6'S IN MANY MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. MY DRIVERS SEAT BELT JUST BEGAN GETTING STUCK AT 80,300 MILES. THE DAY BEFORE FATHER'S DAY WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. (JUNE 20, 2015). I WENT TO TARGET AND I COULDN'T GET OUT OF MY SEATBELT WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I JIGGLED IT AND PUSHED ON IT REPEATEDLY UNTIL I HEARD IT CLICK AGAIN AND IT FINALLY RELEASED. THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AND I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL HOW I PUT MY SEATBELT ON UNTIL I HEAR THE "RIGHT CLICK" OR IT WON'T LET ME OUT. MY CRUISE WENT OUT ON MY WAY BACK FROM OK IN AUG. 2013, RIGHT AROUND 65,000 MILES I BELIEVE. I WAS COMING UP ON THE CA BORDER AND HAD TO STOP FOR INSPECTION AND AS I SLOWED DOWN, MY CAR BEGAN LUNGING FORWARD DESPITE THE FACT THAT I APPLIED THE BRAKES. I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT STOPPED UNTIL I USED THE CRUISE AGAIN. THEN IT'D LUNGE AGAIN WHEN I'D SLOW DOWN OR ATTEMPT TO STOP. I CALLED MY FRIEND AND HE SAID TO STOP USING THE CRUISE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT CONTINUED, BUT I ALSO HAVEN'T USED THE CRUISE SINCE 2013. MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 100K MILES AND I BOUGHT IT NEW. I'VE MAINTAINED IT AND IT STILL HAD OTHER ISSUES. THE KEYLESS ENTRY, BOSE 6 DISC, ALTERNATOR AND THERMOSTAT HAVE ALL MALFUNCTIONED! THE LIGHTS ON THE RADIO DISPLAY DON'T LIGHT PROPERLY AND THE HEADLINER FALLS DOWN DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS TO FIX IT....UPDATED 01/06/16 *BF
