Consumer Description

Mazda USA - There’s been over 5 failures of my AC since before the car even hit a 5,000 mile mark. Mazda North America has a D- rating w/the Better Business Bureau & it shows! My complaints have gone one deaf ears and there’s a HUGE lack of accountability. https://youtu.be/83lV-29xz8s
