| 2007 | AIR BAGS | ON THE AFTERNOON OF NOVEMBER 4TH, 2012 WHILE OPERATING MY MAZDA AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. FEARFUL FOR WHAT WAS CAUSING THE SMOKE, I EXITED THE VEHICLE. AS I CLOSED THE DOOR, THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYED. TWO MINUTES LATER, THE HORN SOUNDED FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND THEN SHUT OFF. SMOKE CONTINUED TO BILLOW INSIDE THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP. THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT THINKS THAT I HAD A FAULTY CLOCKSPRING. THEY ARE REPLACING THE CLOCKSPRING, AIR BAG MODULE AND AIR BAG. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW FROM MAZDA IN 2007. IT HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR |
| 2007 | ENGINE | WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT NIGHT IN SNOW; UNSAFE AND UNKNOWN AREA WITH JUST ME AND MY DAUGHTER. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR IMMEDIATELY DROVE AS IF IT WERE NOT OPERATING ON ALL CYLINDERS. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND IT HAD MULTIPLE MISFIRE CODES, 301, 351, 352, 354. COILS BAD AND PCM "FRIED." CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND LAST CAR PAYMENT MADE OCTOBER 2012. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FILED ON-LINE REGARDING THE EXACT MISFIRE CODES I EXPERIENCED AND PCM ISSUES IN THIS PARTICULAR YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. THIS PROBLEM IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE TO FIX ON A PERSONAL LEVEL. IF MAZDA IS AWARE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE, THEY NEED TO REMEDY IT. I'M PERFECTLY FINE TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS AT THE TIME MAZDA RECOMMENDS THEY ARE DUE; HOWEVER I DO NOT BELIEVE I NEED TO PERSONALLY PAY FOR A PCM AFTER 5 YEARS OF USE WHEN THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I CALLED CORPORATE MAZDA TO ASK ABOUT ANY KNOWN PCM PROBLEMS ON 3/6/2012, REFERENCE # 146248920 AND WAS NOT GIVEN ANY INFORMATION. I WAS TOLD TO SIMPLY TRUST THE TECHNICIAN. THIS ANSWER IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. I BELIEVE MAZDA IS VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM, AND THEY NEED TO REMEDY IT. I WILL PAY FOR NEW COILS AND NEW SPARK PLUGS AS THOSE ARE DUE, BUT MAZDA SHOULD REPLACE THE PCM. *TR |
