Dashboard melted
The dashboard appears melted and sticky and is effecting visibility making it very dangerous to drive
For these incidents there was friends who was in my vehicle during and even witness these incidents happen while in the vehicle. on the way to work i tried to downshift on the sport mode like i usually do. but it continued to stay in 5, then all of sudden it jumped to 3 as i slow down a bit then all of sudden to 1 which made the car jerk a bit both times due to gear drop and cause the car to rev at a higher rpm. which almost cost an accident. this is happening quite often so i had to switch to normal drive mode( d) on another occasion the abs, traction control light would turn on after making a quick left or right turn but this happen only a few time, the only way to turn the lights off was to park somewhere safe and turn the car off and back on to remove the lights. now it's summer time an third problem has appear, for some random reason air conditioning system is going crazy and blowing hot air instead of cold air in the crazy texas summer heat, what's even more crazy is driver side ...
My mazda 3 2010 has about 3 recalls. i have been contacting the local dealership to do the recalls since last year, but due to my schedule, i cannot make it during the weekdays. now this month, when i looked at the recall letters, i found out i should do the recalls very soon, but i had hard time to get day off during the weekdays, so i was asking the dealership to schedule me for weekends. but they refused. i know this is a free service, but how can they only give us schedule for weekdays and refuse to do the work for weekends. this is about safety. i don't drive this car often, but i still want this to be done. i think it is wrong that the dealership refuse recalls service. i don't think they will refuse the service that pay them money. very bad experience! i think the government should monitor this. because they refusing the weekends service, a lot people may hold off their recalls just like me, which may cause problem for the road safety. the name of the ...
While driving the vehicle dash lights start blinking and car stops accelerating, turns on by won't move. mechanic says engine is not communicating with transmission. electrical issue seems like. when it rests it will work but then after driving it happens again. it just stops while you are driving, dangerous.
We were driving down i-70 in indiana in the evening when suddenly our sunroof exploded. we never saw a rock hit it or anything like that; there was just a loud noise, tinkling glass and it was mostly gone. luckily we had the sun visor pulled over it, so no glass got in the car, but it's still a pretty major issue to have a hole in the roof of your car, both from a water damage and security standpoint. the temperature was in 70's, so extreme weather didn't play a role.
10+ incidents of sudden unintended acceleration since aug 2018. always at freeway speed of traffic, i.e. 70-75mph. occurs when intentionally decelerating (easing off the gas pedal and initiating braking). rpms jump to 7 or 8. acceleration immediately drops and steads after tapping/applying pressure to brakes. has been taken ralph thayer dealership 3 times -- aug2018, jan2019, feb2019. each time vehicle kept for a week but unable to duplicate issue. data recorder was installed in jan2019. despite a several minute long episode on feb 22, 2019 in which the car behaved erratically (buckling and jolting) and wouldn't accelerate more than 60 mph while the rpms were high (4-5) for several minutes, this was somehow not sensed by the data recorder. my own guess is an issue with the pcm or the automatic transmission control module. have suas affected transmission? seems to be a known issue yet the dealer/mazda reaction is perfunctory at best. no commitment to resolve. e.g. because my driving was limited while the recorder was in, i requested that it be left in for 3 months. mazda refused, stating that if it happens again (and it will), they'll reinstall the recorder. that a collision hasn't happened is just ...
Abs, and traction control dash board lights are on. the abs relay is faulty, so the abs module needs to be replaced
When vehicle is in park, the shift lever gets stuck and does not shift out of 'park'.
Sitting at a light and my sunroof shattered.
Please see attached regarding a known dashboard lifting defect.
Push button start malfunction, causing instrument panel to light up and behave erratically. car obviously not safe to drive at that point. shifting into reverse louder than normal and very noticeable jerk. same result when shifting back to drive. did not attempt any movement. shut off engine. waited several seconds, attempted restart, but engine would not restart. instrument panel was lit up with a red key indicator light. towed to dealer. could not diagnose failure. reset system, ran full diagnostic, no failure codes reported. drove fine for 2 days, on 3rd day, problem repeated itself, car is now back at the dealer waiting on repair/diagnosis. car was parked in home garage southern az on both occasions.
Exploding sunroof. the glass in my sunroof spontaneously exploded while traveling on the highway. a loud bang, followed by glass showering occupants, resulting in minor injuries. upon review, the glass appeared to blown up and outward from the vehicle.
Dashboard is melting and causes a glare on the windshield
The clutch failed prematurely at ~45k miles. when i was driving, i noticed the car was slow to accelerate after shifting. i took it to a mechanic who said the clutch needed to be replaced and that it was extremely early for it to have failed.
