NHTSA Complaint #10864098 — 2011 MAZDA MAZDA6

THE AC COMPRESSOR CLUTCH LOCKED UP AND CAUSED THE BELT TO MAKE LOUD SCREECHING NOISES. ALSO, SOMETHING BURNING COULD BE SMELLED INSIDE THE ENGINE AND BURNT RUBBER WAS FLUNG AROUND THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ANOTHER ISSUE: READ ABOUT THIS A LOT BECAUSE I AM EXPERIENCING IT, THE PASSENGER-SIDE DASH IS MELTING. SEEMS THEY USED A CHEAP MATERIAL AND WHEN IT GETS ABOVE 80 DEGREES OUTSIDE THE DASH BEGINS TO MELT. IT IS STICKY, LEAVES A RESIDUE ON YOUR FINGERS, AND PRODUCES AN EXTREME GLARE. THE AC WENT OUT WHILE I WAS IN THE DRIVE-THROUGH ORDERING FOOD. THE DASH BOARD HAS BEEN MELTING SINCE LAST SUMMER AND HAS NOT GOTTEN ANY BETTER. STOPPED MELTING DURING THE WINTER AND BEGAN MELTING NOW THAT IT'S SUMMER AGAIN.
