They told me to go in sept 12 in order to fix the airbag, after spending the whole day there they ordered the wrong item so I had to leave the place without the correct airbag.

I was notified in february of 2015 that they were recalling the air bags. I got another letter in the mail in august, notifying me that I will be notified about when to make an appointment to get them repaired. No one has gotten back to me and I'm still driving with the faulty air bags.

Dissatisfied that nothing is being done about the airbag safety issue. There is no working phone number to call and we have been driving this car many miles, knowing that the airbags are not safe!

I called dealer 3 times to have my airbags replaced (final recall 1317f). This was over the course of 6 months. They never call me back. The third time I called (on 8/24/2017) I was told they would call me back (again) in one month. They still have never called me back.

I accidentally touched the moonroof controls on my car and this blew a fuse which was also connected to the heat, causing dangerous driving conditions (none of my windows defrosted). They said the moonroof was frozen shut and by me touching the control it overloaded the fuse. When I went to walser Mazda in burnsville they told me they had seen 3 of these same incidents in one week. Because I didn't know it was just a fuse at the time I was unable to safely drive the vehicle. *tr

The front frame is rusted out to the point it is unsafe. This is the same issue for the 2009 2010 models.

December 14, 2015 around 6:40pm I was driving home from work on highway 275e at approximately 70 MPH approaching the 71n exit ramp . Car and driver's seat heater had been running about 8 - 10 minutes. I smelled a burning smell. I was wearing jeans. When looking around to figure out where smell was coming from, my left leg came in contact with seat, I felt a "bite" sensation on the back of my leg - immediately I thought perhaps my seat was was on fire. I didn't see any actually flames, so I turned off seat heater, and opened the windows - hoping to cool off the interior of the car to prevent any smoldering in the seat to advance to a fire (sounds a stupid now, but at the time it seemed to make sense). Continue driving with one hand, windows down, and fanning seat with the other. With

2008 Mazda 6 with less than 5000 miles. Starter caught on fire, dealer said rodent chewed wire. Not a warranty issue. My insurance had to pay. Pictures taken and my agent insured me when he filed with Mazda they would take care of this. Today 11/11/08 claim denied Mazda said its not their fault. What ever happened to customer service. *tr
