Consumer Description

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT LAMPS WORK INCONSISTENTLY. THEY STOPPED WORKING WHEN VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND TURNED OFF. THEY WORKED WHEN I LAST USED CAR, BUT STOPPED WORKING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER 3.5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, AND MAY BE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO COLD WEATHER. SEVERAL FIRM RAPS ON THE LENS SEEMS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, BUT MANY PEOPLE WONT KNOW ABOUT THIS AND WILL TAKE CAR IN FOR SERVICING BY MAZDA BECAUSE REPLACING LAMP REQUIRES YOU TO REMOVE WHEEL AND WHEEL WELL IN ORDER TO GET ACCESS TO THE LAMP. A DISHONEST MAZDA DEALERSHIP WOULD MAKE LOTS OF MONEY ON THIS! MANY PEOPLE HAVE SIMILAR ISSUE AS DOCUMENTED IN THE COMMENTS IN THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO - HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=UQQPERRESA8
