NHTSA Complaint #10820460 — 2015 MAZDA MAZDA6

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN MY 2015 MADZA6 WHEN I NOTICED THE CAR IS SWERVING A BIT TO THE RIGHT. I THOUGHT MY CAR HAD A SMALL ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. SO I CONTINUE DRIVING AS I DID NOT SEE HERE ANY BEEPS AND THERE'S NO WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD. IT WAS ABOUT 3 TO 4 MILES LATER WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE CAR WAS SWERVING A BIT TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND I CAN HEAR GROWLING SOUND WHICH SEEMS TO COME FROM THE TIRES. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH AT THAT TIME AND THERE WERE SOME SNOW AND ICE ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE 3 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW OVERNIGHT. WITHOUT HESITATING, I DROVE TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND CHECKED MY CAR. YAP! I HAD A FLAT TIRE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. IF THAT'S IS SO, WHY DIDN'T THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPS) GAVE ME A BEEP AND LIGHTS UP ON THE DASHBOARD? ALSO, I REMEMBERED TAKING MY CAR TO THE SUBURBAN MADZA6 DEALER IN TROY MICHIGAN SOMETIME IN DECEMBER 2014 TO HAVE THE TPS FIXED DUE TO A MADZA RECALL. SO WHY ISN'T THE TPS ON MY CAR WORKING? MY ODOMETER SHOWS ONLY ABOUT 8065 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I CHANGED THE FLAT TIRE WITH MY SPARE AND TOOK THE FLAT TIRE TO DISCOUNT TIRE (248-3931900) IN AUBURN HILLS, MI AND UNFORTUNATELY, THEY TOLD ME MY TIRE IS BAD AS IT WAS DRIVEN FOR QUITE A DISTANCE WITH LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THE TIRE STILL HAS ABOUT 80 TO 90% THREAD ON IT. THE NEXT MORNING, I COMPLAINED TO MADZA USA (1-800-2225500) ABOUT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. I EXPLAINED TO JESSIE WHOM I SPOKE TO ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. THE CASE NUMBER IS 1-1-91037814. HE CHECKED MY CAR RECORD AND ADMIT I DID HAVE THE TPS RECALL DONE. BUT HE SAID THERE IS A RECENT TPS RECALL BUT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED THROUGH MAIL OR PHONE. I TOLD JESSIE THAT MADZA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE TPS AND SHOULD ALSO PAY FOR MY TIRE. INSTEAD HE ONLY GIVE ME A $100 COUPON TO BE USED FOR MADZA PRODUCT AND SERVICES. I HOPE TO RECORD THIS COMPLAINT FOR OTHER MADZA6 OWNERS.
