Consumer Description

DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BROKE AT WELDED ATTACHMENT POINT TO ADJUSTER RAIL. MY SON'S DRIVER SEAT WAS ROCKING, I THOUGHT THAT THE LOCKING WASHER HAD FALLEN OFF AND WENT TO REPLACE, WHEN I REMOVERED THE SIDE COVER I DISCOVERED THAT THE BRACKET THAT ATTACHED THE SEAT TO THE ADJUSTER FRAME HAD BROKEN. SEARCH THE WEB AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MAZDA 3. WHEN TO DEALER AND DISCOVERED THAT I HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SUBFRAME WHICH COST $300 FOR THE PART AND $300 FOR THE LABOR TO INSTALL IT. MAZDA NEEDS TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND ALSO REIMBURSE EVERYONE WHO HAD TO REPLACE THE POORLY CONSTRUCTED PART
