Consumer Description

"Spider Cracks" in both the left and right top corners that continue to spread, creating larger blind spots while in reverse. This is an issue that Mazda is aware of and impacts many models from 2014 until 2019. Even though this may not be considered a "safety feature" in it's traditional form, it has become common practice to rely on this feature while reversing the vehicle. Much like additional airbags may not be required, if they are, they should be fixed when they are proven to be faulty. Both the local dealer(Roger Beasley Austin North) and MazdaUSA refused to cover the cost of fixing the issue even though they are aware it is faulty. There is even a Service Notice that was put out by NHTSA that discusses this issue and my model is included, however I have been repeatedly told my VIN # does not qualify.
