VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE (NOT HEATED) AFTER TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 18 MILES FROM WORK WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS. AFTER BEING PARKED IN THE GARAGE UNATTENDED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. THE SOUND COULD BE HEARD FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE. WHEN I INVESTIGATED, THE REMAINING GLASS THAT WAS STILL IN TACT WAS POINTED TOWARDS THE CEILING OF THE GARAGE. WHILE TAKING PICTURES, THE GLASS CONTINUED TO CRACK, POP, AND EXPLODE INTO THE AIR AND ONTO THE HOOD OF THE CAR. *TR
MY CAR HAD UNEXPECTED ACCELERATIONS 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. MY BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP MY CAR. I HAD A TEAR IN MY KNEE ON THE LAST INCIDENT IN MARCH 2012. MY MEDICAL BILLS WERE AROUND $5,000. MAZDA KEPT MY CAR AND GAVE ME A RENTAL. BUT SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING. I SOLD THE CAR. I KNOW THIS DEALERSHIP HAD ANOTHER MAZDA DO THE SAME THING AS MY CAR.

THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REPLACED THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE VALVE STEM FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
WHEN APPLYING BRAKES THERE IS A RESISTANCE ALMOST AS IF THE CAR WON'T STOP IN TIME. ALSO A HISSING SOUND AS THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. STARTED NOTICING IT DURING THE COLD WEATHER AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST LACK OF WARMING IT UP AT FIRST BUT IT CONTINUED NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER TEMPERATURE.
HARD BRAKE PEDAL. PROGRESSIVELLY GETTING WORSE. BROUGHT CAR TO MY LOCAL MAZDA DEALER, WAS TOLD ALTHOUGH THERE IS A CAMPAIN TO REPLACE THE BOOSTER, MY VEHICLE EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE. I FEEL THE DEFECTIVE BOOSTER SHOULD BE RECALLED WITHOUT A MILEAGE RESTRICTION BASED ON SAFETY.
THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT WENT OUT. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS ADVISED IT'S NOT THE BULB ITSELF RATHER IT'S A COMPONENT WITHIN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY WHICH IS CORRODED DUE TO THE BUILD OF OF MOISTURE WITHIN THE LAMP KIT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM & THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN (SERVICE BULLETIN NO.: SB-09-003-13). THE DEALERSHIP STATED MAZDA WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR AND QUOTED ME A COST IN EXCESS OF $1,000 TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP AND RELATED PARTS. I BELIEVE MAZDA TO BE RESPONSIBLE WHEN THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM.
