2008
AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
MY SON PURCHASED A NEW 2008 MAZDA 3 IN LATE JULY 2008. LAST SATURDAY HE SLID ON ICE AND HIT A TREE HEAD ON AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR HAS ROUGHLY 7000 MILES ON IT. THE INITIAL ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS IS $9100. I CONTACTED MAZDA AT 1-800-222-5500 (DANIEL) TO TRY AND DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND WAS TOLD THAT MAZDA DOESN'T SEND AN INVESTIGATOR OUT AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. MY INSURANCE COMPANY (FARMERS) TELLS ME THAT THEY DON'T INVESTIGATE UNLESS THERE IS REASON TO GO AFTER THE MANUFACTURER TO HELP WITH MEDICAL EXPENSES INCURRED DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. I NEED TO KNOW WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T WORK SO THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED RATHER THAN JUST ASSUME THAT THEY WILL NEXT TIME. MY SON SUFFERED WHIPLASH TO HIS NECK AND BACK AND A STRAIN TO HIS LEFT SHOULDER FROM THE SEAT BELT. I BELIEVE THIS WAS CAUSED BECAUSE THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY TO CUSHION THE IMPACT TO THE TREE. ISN'T THAT WHAT THEY'RE THERE FOR? MAZDA DOESN'T SEEM INTERESTED TO KNOW WHETHER THERE IS A DEFECT OR NOT. *TR

SUSPENSION
I AM WRITING TO INFORM YOU OF A KNOWN REAR CAMBER ISSUE ON THE REAR SUSPENSION OF THE MAZDA 3. THE REAR WHEELS ON MAZDA 3 TILT INWARD AT THE TOP. REAR CAMBER ALIGNMENT MATCHED TO "FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS" DOES NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE, AND TILT IS STILL PRESENT - CAUSING UNEVEN TIRE WEAR. MAZDA RECOMMENDS ROTATING THE TIRES TO AVOID UNEVEN WEAR, BUT THIS DOES NOT CORRECT THE TILT. ROTATING THE TIRES ACCORDING TO MAZDA'S RECOMMENDATION WITH REAR WORN TIRES BEING PLACED ON THE FRONT CAUSES ROAD NOISE ISSUES. I JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD, "THIS IS HOW THE MAZDA3 WAS BUILT TO ASSIST IN ROAD HANDLING." THE REAR CAMBERS OF THE VEHICLE ARE NON-ADJUSTABLE. IF THEY WERE ADJUSTABLE FROM THE FACTORY, MAZDA COULD RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I AM UPSET BECAUSE I WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE TIRES MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY NOW THAT WHAT IS CONSIDERED STANDARD - ON VEHICLES THAT ARE ABLE TO BE ADJUSTED SO THAT THE CAMBER IS AT 0В°. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND MAZDA IS AWARE OF IT, BUT WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I DISCOVERED HUNDREDS OF OTHER MAZDA CUSTOMERS DEALING WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. *TR
