Consumer Description

THE FRONT LIGHTS SEEM TO BUILD CONDENSATION AND CUT DOWN ON THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT THAT IS EMITTED FROM THEM AT NIGHT, LEADING TO A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE TURN SIGNALS AND CAN LEAD TO CATASTROPHIC ELECTRONIC FAILURE THAT COSTS OVER $1,000 TO FIX THAT MAZDA CLAIMS IS NOT COVERED BY THEIR FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS HAS BECOME A HUGE PROBLEM AND ONE QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET TURNS UP HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE, ISSUE A RECALL IN ORDER TO FIX THE AFFECTED UNITS AND FORCE MAZDA'S HAND TO LAY THE COST BURDEN ON THEM AND NOT THE CUSTOMER AS IT IS COMPLETELY ON THEIR MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES THAT DO NOT PROVIDE A PROPER SEAL AROUND THE LIGHTING THAT ALLOWS THIS TO OCCUR. DEALERSHIP SALESMEN ARE SCHOOLED TO TELL CUSTOMERS THAT IT WILL "BURN OFF" AS THE LIGHTS ARE ON LONGER AND ITS NOT ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, WHEN REALLY IT CAN LEAD TO SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE LEADING TO DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARDS AT NIGHT.
