Hi, car was involved in a small fender bender. Airbags were NOT deployed. However, an error code 19 (B0001) came on the dash related to driver side sensor. If not fixed, airbags will not deploy in case of accident and that puts me and my family in danger. Dealer won't service the vehicle because it has more than 100,000 miles (122,000 miles to be exact on my car). Other mechanics won't touch the airbag system. What am I supposed to do as the car is not safe to be driven and dealer refusing to help.

My RPM'S reaved up real high while driving 60mph and all the sudden the car down shifted and I had to put car in neutral in order maintain control. The traction control light and heck engine lights came on same time, lost power to the car the navigation and radio and dash lights, had no power to drive train, had vechile dinogstic check done at O'Reilly auto and they told me it was a PCM power control module. And I called the mazda dealer in Fostoria ohio the macanhic told me the PCM power control module had been reprogram and I never received no notice on any recalls or the person I bought my car never either. My car is 7 years old and if it war reprogram it should not go bad that soon. Unless there is a problem with there components there using. But my car will cause a accident if I continue to drive it. I like my mazda6 2015 but I'm afraid after having the car doing what it did to me on the highway. I had no warning lights come on until the day I was driving down the highway when this problem occurred.

Mazda recalled the problem with the emergency brake(recall1217F) .The dealership did some cosmetic fix that did not prevent it from happening. The emergency brake when applied activated a lever when the brake is released the lever returns to it's original position.The recall was supposed to address the corrosion on the lever shaft that causes it to stick and not release the brake.
WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 MAZDA 6 GT, WITH 40,0000 MILES ON IT, ON A MAIN LOCAL ROAD, WITH A MAX SPEED LIMIT REQUIREMENT OF 45 MPH, I ATTEMPTED TO TURN INTO THE RIGHT TURN LANE AT A SPEED OF APPROX 35 MPH, WHILE LIGHTLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. AS I BEGAN TO TURN, THE STEERING JUST LOCKED UP, AND THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. A FEW DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALSO CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME.. ONE SAID POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION, THE OTHER WAS A RED HAZARD SYMBOL, AND I DON'T SPECIFICALLY RECALL THE OTHER. I FINALLY SHUT THE CAR OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS THE WHEEL REGAINED MOBILITY AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT OFF. I CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY DROVE MY CAR HOME, APRROX 2 MILES FROM WHERE IT HAPPENED. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE, DUE TO FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE WHEN IT HAPPENED.
AUDIBLE WHINE FROM TRANSMISSION WHEN IN MOTION. I CAN'T RECREATE THE NOISE WHEN STOPPED OR IN NEUTRAL AND CAN BE HEARD WHEN IN DRIVING AND PICKING UP SPEED.
MY VEHICLE HAS HAD STRANGE GRUNTING, SQUEAKING, POPPING NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONTEND, PARTICULARLY THE DRIVERS SIDE. IT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JUNE 2017. THE NOISE SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN DRIVING OVER SMALL BUMPS. IT'S VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN I BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM. THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS EXACT ISSUE AND FOUND THERE IS A TSB FOR THE SUSPENSION ISSUE I'M DESCRIBING. I'M JUST GETTING WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY. I'M AFRAID SOMETHING WILL FAIL AND I FEEL IT'S THE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THIS UNSAFE ISSUE WITH THE SUSPENSION THAT AFFECTING MANY OTHER MAZDA 6 VEHICLES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED ON AND OFF AND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
AFTER STOPPING, THE CAR DOES NOT POWER OFF ALL THE WAY, DASHBOARD AND RADIO ARE STILL ON. IT HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY AND IN SOME CASES I WASTE A LOT OF TIME TO TRY THIS 10-20 TIME BEFORE IT ACTUALLY TURNS OFF. ON SOME OCCASIONS, I DID NOT HAVE MUCH TIME AND I LEFT IT THAT WAY AND I COULD NOT CLOSE THE CAR AND AFTER FEW HOURS THE BATTERY DRAINED AND I COULD NOT START THE CAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA 6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE BRAKES IN MARCH OF 2018. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CONTACT HEARD A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE INITIAL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED BY BRADSHAW MAZDA SERVICE (2512 LAURENS RD, GREENVILLE, SC 29607, (864) 458-3500). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO WANTED TO CHARGE THE CONTACT A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,172.
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2015 MAZDA 6. WHILE TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT 60 MPH HIGHWAY, MY SUNROOF WINDOW SUDDENLY EXPLODED, WITH A LOUD "BANG!". THE WINDOW WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME AND HAD NOT BEEN OPENED IN APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS. FORTUNATELY, THE INTERIOR DEFLECTOR (SLIDING COVER) WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME, OR GLASS SHARDS WOULD HAVE RAINED DOWN ON MY FACE AND HAIR. NO OBJECTS OR SUDDEN MOTIONS PROVOKED THE EXPLOSION. POLICE WOULD NOT WRITE A REPORT BECAUSE THERE WERE "NO SUSPECTS OF VANDALISM" AND "NO COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR PROPERTY". $725 LATER, I HAVE A NEW REPLACEMENT WINDOW FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND HOPE FOR NO SIMILAR FUTURE INCIDENTS OR POSSIBLE MOLD/MILDEW ISSUES. THE CAUSE OF THE SAFETY RISK IS UNKNOWN BUT IS CERTAINLY UNACCEPTABLE, GIVEN THAT I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS AND AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF ONLY 3 YEARS. I HAVE REPAIR INVOICES, SHOULD THEY BE NECESSARY TO SUBSTANTIATE THIS COMPLAINT.
VEHICLE HAS HAD 3 WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENTS IN JUST THREE YEARS OF USE AND OWNERSHIP. THE WINDSHIELD DESIGN SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY FRAGILE AND INDUCES SAFETY RELATED SENSOR FUNCTION ANOMALIES. MY GRAND TOURING MODEL IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH A BOSE SPEAKER SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES POPPING FROM A FAULTY SPEAKER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES.

LAST WEEK THE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT WAS FELT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GOING OUT OF CONTROL AND A METALLIC KNOCKING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE HAD COMPLETELY DEFLATED. BUT HE TPMS DID NOT SHOW ANY ABNORMALITY EVER DURING THE DRIVE. THE TIRE WAS DAMAGED TO AN EXTENT THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THANKFULLY THIS HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED AND IT APPEARS THAT THE TPMS SENSORS (ON WHICH THERE WAS AN EARLIER RECALL) IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.

INTERMITTENTLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS DO NOT PERFORM THEIR PROPER FUNCTION. WHEN EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING OCCUR: 1) CANCEL BUTTON FUNCTIONS AS THE MINUS (DECELERATE) BUTTON, 2) THE MINUS BUTTON FUNCTIONS AS THE PLUS (ACCELERATE) BUTTON, 3) THE PLUS BUTTON DOESN'T WORK, AND 4) THE OFF BUTTON DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT DOES NOT SHUTOFF THE CRUISE CONTROL MAIN POWER. THIS BEHAVIOR IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE WITH THE CANCEL BUTTON ACTING AS THE MINUS BUTTON, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ACTIVATE WITH THE CANCEL BUTTON. IN ADDITION, HAVING THE MINUS BUTTON FUNCTION AS THE PLUS BUTTON COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE CAR BEHAVES IN THE OPPOSITE MANNER AS EXPECTED. THE ISSUE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM ON TWO SEPARATE VISITS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR OVER 18 MONTHS. I'VE FOUND THAT HITTING THE EDGE OF THE STEERING WHEEL HARD WILL CLEAR THE PROBLEM - GENERALLY FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, BUT IT RETURNS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. I'M REPORTING THE PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA BECAUSE AN INTERNET SEARCH HAS SHOWN SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. NO ONE HAS POSTED A CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM OR RESOLUTION.

I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I USUALLY BUY GAS BY THE DOLLAR AMOUNT, BUT DID A COMPLETE COMPLETE FILL UP FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING AWAY THEN PARKING AT HOME, I NOTICED A HEAVY GASOLINE SMELL AND CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THERE WAS A CONSTANT DRIP (EVERY 15 SEC OR SO) COMING FROM UNDERNEATH, NEAR THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. I NOW HAVE A PUDDLE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WHAT IF SOMEONE FLICKS A CIGARETTE AND IT CATCHES FIRE WHILE PARKED?! MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AFTER A COMPLETE FULL UP, AND SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN.
HAND OPERATED PARKING BRAKE SAFETY RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM MAZDA STATING THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKE CALIPER OF MAZDA6 VEHICLES PRODUCED FROM OCTOBER 25, 2012 THROUGH DECEMBER 1, 2014. MY VEHICLE FALLS INTO THIS RECALL CATEGORY. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM MAZDA ON AUGUST 19, 2017 MAKING ME AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATING THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED MAZDA USA ON NOVEMBER 2 TO GET AN UPDATE AND THEY STILL DON'T HAVE AN ETA FOR THE PARTS. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT THE DEFECT COULD RESULT IN UNEXPECTED MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE IF PARKED ON A SLOPE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A COLLISION. I HAVE ASKED MAZDA TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK AND REIMBURSE ME. THE REPRESENTATIVE MADE A NOTE OF THIS, GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND LEFT IT UP TO ME TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE IN ITS PRESENT STATE IS AT RISK OF CAUSING PHYSICAL HARM AND PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THE SURROUNDING AREA IT MAY BE PARKED IN, ESPECIALLY PLACES LIKE SAN FRANCISCO, WHERE HIGH GRADE SLOPES ARE PRETTY COMMON. SINCE THIS IS A DEFECT TO THE BRAKE CALIPER I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THE PROBLEM HAS EXISTED EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JANUARY OF 2017. LATELY, I NOTICED THE RIGHT SIDE OF DASH WENT BLACK, AS STEERING INFO SWITCH FAILS WHILE DRIVING. BEFORE OUR SUMMER VACATION ROAD TRIP, I READ THROUGH THE MANUAL AND TESTED OUT ELECTRONIC "BELLS AND WHISTLES", I DISCOVERED THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH IN CONSOLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL'S RADIO VOLUME CONTROL WERE NON-FUNCTIONAL(NEVER WORKED). THERE WAS NO FUSE TO CHECK. MAZDA DEALER CLAIMS SHORTED OUT DUE TO BEVERAGE SPILL AS CUP HOLDERS ARE LOCATED NEXT TO MASTER CONTROL SWITCH. IF SO, WHY AREN'T RELATIVELY "HIGH" VOLTAGE WIRES PROTECTED AND WATERPROOF AT THIS LOCATION? DEALER HAS HAD VEHICLE MORE THAT TWO WEEKS; AS DEALER CLAIMS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS NEED TO BE TRACED BACK INTO STEERING WHEEL AND DASH. BACK IN JANUARY, AS I WAS SIGNING A PURCHASE AGREEMENT, THE DEALERSHIP'S FINANCE EMPLOYEE STRONGLY SUGGESTED I ALSO BUY AN ADDITIONAL REPAIR CONTRACT BECAUSE "THIS MODEL HAS LIKE 15 COMPUTERS IN IT." I DID, BUT NOW I WISH I DIDN'T BUY THE VEHICLE. I DON'T BELIEVE WIRING IN THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE.

WHEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN AN INTERSECTION, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED INCORRECTLY. IT POPPED OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL BUT FAILED TO INFLATE. NOT ONLY DID THIS NOT PROTECT ME FROM WHIPLASH BUT IT ALSO BURNED A HOLE IN MY DRESS AND CAUSED 1ST AND 2ND DEGREE BURNS ON MY UPPER INNER THIGHS DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION. THE AIRBAG HOWEVER WAS FULLY INFLATED 48 HOURS LATER WHEN SITTING IN A TOWING YARD.

THE CAR DOES NOT STEER IN A TRUSTWORTHY MANNER AND IS UNRESPONSIVE AT TIMES WHICH NEGATIVELY IMPACTS THE DRIVER'S ASSERTION OF WHERE THE CAR IS ON THE ROAD AND HOW IT WILL HANDLE. THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF BEHAVES LOOSELY AND THE TURNING CAPABILITY OF THE CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE. THUS FAR THE CAUSE AND A SOLUTION TO IT HAS NOT BEEN FOUND. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS HAD IT 5 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS, INCLUDING EXTENDED PERIODS, AND DESPITE VALIANT ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, IT CONTINUES TO ELUDE THE TECHNICIANS.
THIS CAR HAS HAD MANY RANDOM COMPUTER PROBLEMS STARTING WITH TRANSMISSION LOCKING IN LOW GEAR UNTIL YOU STOP THE CAR AND RESTART. CAR SHUTS OFF DISPLAYING AUTOMATIC STOP BREAK GOT VERY HARD AND STEERING VERY HARD. MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT LAST WEEK 2/2/17 DUE TO VEHICLE LOSS OF POWER HARD BREAKING AND STEERING. CALLED MAZDA WITH NO RESPONSE.

NO ROCK HIT MY CAR.. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LARGE CRACK ON MY WINDOW. THAT JUST KEPT GETTING BIGGER. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG (PURCHASED BRAND NEW), BUT WHEN THE DEFROSTER WAS IN, IT WAS AS IF THERE WAS A LINE IN THE WINDOW WHERE IT WOULDN'T WORK. NOW A YEAR LATER, I HAVE A CRACK THAT CANNOT BE FIXED AND THE WHOLE WINDOW HAS TO BE REPLACED.
ON NOV 27 16 THE FOLLOWING SAFETY ISSUE OCCURRED TO MY AUTO. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20-25 MPH IN SLOW TRAFFIC MY VEHICLE THREW ITSELF OUT OF GEAR, THE ENGINE RACED, AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS IT VIOLENTLY WENT BACK IN GEAR. PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING THE TRANSMISSION HAD LOCKED UP TWICE AND THE AUTO COULD NOT BE MOVED. BY TURNING THE IGNITION ON AND OFF THAT LOCK-UP WAS FREED. DURING THIS SAME DRIVING PERIOD THE FOLLOWING MALFUNCTION LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY; ENGINE LIGHT, LOW TIRE PRESSURE, AIR BAG, TRACTION CONTROL (REPEATEDLY). THE AUTOS ENGINE WAS MISSING INTERMITTENTLY RUNNING ROUGH. OPERATING CONDITIONS: AMBIENT TEMP: 78F, NO WIND, DRY ROADWAY, NO PRECIPITATION. I CONTACTED MANUFACTURERS MAZDA ASSIST, THEY REQUESTED TOWING, AUTO IS NOW AT THE DEALER IN (WALLACE) IN STUART, FLORIDA, I INFORMED MAZDA ASSIST THAT I CONSIDERED THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AS I AM HANDICAPPED AND THE HOLIDAY TRAFFIC WAS TOTALLY JAMMED I WAS FORCE TO DRIVE SLOWLY HOME ON THE 20 MPH FLA TURNPIKE.. *TR
