My complaint is Mazda rejected my reimbursement claim based on their "policy" of having only a Mazda dealer perform the repairs. I do not accept the rejection. We tried to schedule with Mazda. No chance. They are too booked. My wife is a school teacher. We must have the vehicle. A long story short, attached are (3) items: the recall notice from Mazda, the receipt from my excellent mechanic and the Mazda rejection letter. My goal here is to alert you that Mazda is being unrealistic. My mechanic is award winning (I watched him remove an engine from a Porsche 911. His a master. Also, we have four old cars. Mazda is just stupid. Maybe you can use this as a case study to train new employees. I still want my money. Sincerely [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom

Mazda cx-9 problem 130,000 miles-on november 25th, as I was dropping my children to their schools, the defrost suddenly stops working. I try to turn the fan/heater all the way, but to no avail. I had to use a towel to wipe the windshield. As I pulled into a curved side, the engine turns off, I turned the ignition key to off, then starts the engine again, and the engine light comes on. I pulled out and drove about six hundred feet and parked. I call a mechanic and I drove it again for a mile to the shop. He opens up the hood and pour in some coolant and all the coolant were on the floor. He immediately told me that coolant leaks and oil is probably mixed and causes the engine failure. He told me I had to change the engine, because fixing it will cost me over ten grand. I drove it home, the

While taking a right hand turn in the parking lot of logan airport, and travelling about 5-10 MPH, my car made a loud noise and came to a sudden and abrupt halt. I stepped out of the car and discovered that the driver's side front tire had disconnected from the steering arm. The car was immobilized, and I was not able to move it out of the way of other traffic in the airport parking lot, causing chaos in the parking lot and causing them to temporarily shut down an entire floor of the parking lot while they struggled to tow the car out of the way. The car was subsequently towed to a Mazda dealership and the tire arms and ball joints were repaired pursuant to a recall (8515g). The front tires were also unevenly worn and replaced, very likely from the ball joint / steering arm issue, and

I had a recall notice about potential defect on the airbag system that can cause personal injury on my Mazda c-x 9 2008.

It has been more than 3 months and I have not got any response from the dealer. I will be very grateful to get a follow up to see that this my car is fixed. Thanks very much in advance.

Vehicle is AWD. In may 2016, TCS & ABS dash lights came on as well as the depiction of a vehicle skidding. Brought to my local mechanic who said he was getting fault codes but could not diagnose. Suggested we go to the dealer. Went to local Mazda dealer who diagnosed that both the transfer case and transmission gears were stripped, that the vehicle was now operating in 2 wheel drive and that the ABS was not functioning because of these issues. Dealer quoted $8,136 to fix. We assumed there must be some recall on this issue but could not find one. We then brought to a local transmission expert who opened it up and described same problem. Stripped gears on both transmission and transfer case. He called dealership parts dept. And said they had several of the major parts he needed to

I am reporting two incidents of engine revving that occurred without my foot on the accelerator. In the first incident (sep 2015), I started the car in the driveway. After a couple seconds, the engine started revving really fast even though my foot was on the brake, not on the accelerator. I remained in park and turned off the ignition. After re-starting the car, everything behaved normally. In the second incident (dec 6, 2015), I started the car, put it in reverse, and was backing up in a grocery store parking lot. The car suddenly acccelerated backward with the engine revving. I was able to stop it by depressing the brake hard, and then changed the transmission from reverse to drive. The revving stopped and the car drove normally after that. I felt lucky to have stopped the car, h
