Consumer Description
I HAVE 2 ISSUES. THE MOST DANGEROUS ONE IS THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM. IT JUMPS AROUND FROM PHONE TO RADIO TO CONTACTS TO MUSIC AND RANDOMLY MAKES CALLS, PLAYS THE RADIO, AND CANNOT BE CONTROLLED. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT IS DISTRACTING TO DRIVER. WHEN IT MAKE CALLS IT CANNOT BE DISCONNECTED AND WHICHEVER SCREEN IS DISPLAYED IT ACTS AS IF SOMEONE IS CONSTANTLY MAKING CONTACT WITH THE SYSTEM. RADIO STATIONS CHANGE AND PHONE CALLS ARE MADE THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT HALF OF THE SCREEN IS CRACKED MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING ON IT. BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY MAZDA BUT DID NOT REPAIR IT WHEN I TOOK IT IN. THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE SCREEN BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE UNCONTROLLED SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS WARM OUTSIDE. I HAVE READ MANY OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS FOR BOTH OF THESE ISSUES. THESE ISSUES ARE MOSTLY WHEN I AM STOPPED BUT CONTINUES WHEN I AM MOVING. SINCE MAZDA DOES RECOGNIZE THESE PROBLEMS AND HAVE DIRECTIONS FOR CORRECTING THEM, THEY STILL WANT ME TO PAY FOR A NEW SCREEN AND SYSTEM
