NHTSA Complaint #10935226 — 2010 MAZDA MAZDA3

MY MAZDA 3 WILL NOT START. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE A ME A DESCRIPTION OF MY ISSUE AND RESOLUTION (MY ISSUE: BATTERY CABLE SHORTED AND SPLIT IN HALF DUE TO A DEFAULT WIRE HARNESS). I GOOGLED THE PART NUMBER AND I NOTICED A RECALL ON MY CAR RELATED TO THE SAME EXACT PART. RECALL # 09V12600 MAZDA IS NOW TELLING ME MY ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW IT HAS BEEN RECALLED. MY CONFUSION IS AS FOLLOWS; THE ISSUE IS THE SAME, THE RESOLUTION IS THE SAME, THE PART NUMBER IS THE SAME, THE VEHICLE IS THE SAME (MODEL AND YEAR). I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP IN RESOLVING MY ISSUE. MAZDA IS CHARGING $1400 FOR THE FIX, I AM LOOKING ANY HELP FROM NHTSA PLEASE, TO HELP RESOLVE MY ISSUE AND HAVE MY ISSUE BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE RECALL STATES POTENTIAL IMPACT OF 25,400 VEHICLES (LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN FOR MORE OR LESS VEHICLES). I AM LUCKY THE SHORT DID NOT CAUSE A FIRE, I NEED YOUR HELP TO ENSURE THE ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR AGAIN. LOOKING FOR ANY GOOD FAITH THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOU HELP.
