STRUCTURE
CAR HIT COYOTE AT 75MPH. CAR NEVER WAVERED FROM WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO. IT SAVED OUR LIVES THAT NIGHT. HEADLIGHT NOT HIT BY COYOTE BUT BARES A LARGE "BLIND SPOT" ON DRIVERS SIDE MAKING CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE AFTER DARK. CAR TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, DEALERSHIP SAYS HEAD LIGHT IS WITHIN SPECS AND WAS COMPARED TO ANOTHER CAR OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL YEAR AND THE "BLIND SPOT" IS NORMAL. THIS PARTICULAR MAZDA 3 "DOESN'T LIKE TIRES". THAT IS WHAT THE GUY WHO PUT ON THE 3RD FULL SET OF TIRES TOLD ME. MILEAGE 46,000 THE CAR KEEPS BREAKING MOTOR MOUNTS AND MAZDA CLAIMS THIS IS ALL FROM THE ACCIDENT NOW 15 MONTHS AGO. THEY REFUSE TO FIX HEADLIGHT AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR AFTER DARK AS MY INSURANCE COMPANY MAY FIGHT IF I SHOULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAULTY HEAD LIGHT. I HAVE NEVER KNOW A CAR MANUFACTURER TO OFFER HEADLIGHTS WITH BLIND SPOTS BUT I HAVE AN INVOICE FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THIS IS NORMAL ON THE MAZDA 3. THESE CARS ARE NOT MADE TO TAKE THE IMPACT OF A COYOTE SO I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE MAZDA 3 SHOULD IT HIT SOMETHING LARGER THAN A DOG. *TR

SEAT BELTS
I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 5 YEARS. IN THE PAST MONTH, MY DRIVERS SEATBELT HAS BEGUN TO FAIL. THIS IS A PYROTECHNIC SEATBELT, AND HAS A SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE SEATBELT DOES NOT COMPLETELY LOCK, AND CAN BE REMOVED BY HAND. I WAS INFORMED THAT UPON A CRASH, IF THE SEATBELT WERE NOT COMPLETELY LATCHED, THE AIRBAG WOULD IN FACT NOT DEPLOY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4-5 TIMES SINCE THE ORIGINAL OCCURRENCE. ALSO, WHEN THE SEATBELT FAILS TO LATCH YOU CAN NOT JUST PUSH THE BUTTON TO RELEASE THE BELT. YOU MUST TUG HARDLY TO GET THE BELT TO RELEASE. MAZDA IS NOT WILLING TO WARRANTY THIS PART, AND THE NEW PART COST ALMOST $300 TO REPAIR. *TR
