Vehicle was parked in a secured company parking lot. when i left work, the sunroof glass was smashed. there was nothing on the roof of the car. i thought a huge tree limb may have fell on the car and someone moved it but there was nothing nearby to explain what happened. i had the sunroof repaired and forgot about it until i just saw information about this happening on other cars. reporting to you for statistical purposes. sunroof glass shattered, vehicle was stationary (parked), the high temp that day was 90 and the low was 72, nothing was on top of the car (rock,tree,etc), no known reason for why the glass broke.
My dash has glare from dash melt
The dashboard is melted and sticky and that makes it bright with the sun and reflected in the glass internally and makes day driving very difficult.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 mazda 3. while driving various speeds, the radio activated independently. the radio turned on and off when the brake pedal was depressed. in addition, the windows failed to work intermittently. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failures. the approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
The dashboard has started to melt. this has resulted in a very shiny sticky mess. the sheen causes severe vision problems while operating the vehicle. i have been almost blinded and unable to see the traffic at times.
The dashboard is melting causing a glare in the windshield. blocking my view while driving.
My dashboard is also melting like others have complained about. it started about 36 months in and only gets worse. it's now a sticky mess that reflects on to the windshield which causes glare when looking out the windshield. it seems to be dangerous to drive on sunny days in florida. it's distracting and is unsafe for the driver as well for anything that is in the area of the glare outside the car. this needs to be addressed. when brought to the attention of my service garage the mechanic told me that he had seen it on about 1 of every 5 cars serviced. when i inquired what it would cost to get it repaired/replaced the guy said it would be close to $2000. that's crazy for something that is obviously a manufacturing issue.
For several months the dashboard on my 2010 mazda 3i has been melting. it is now a sticky shiny mess on top and the reflection of it in the windshield at certain sun angles makes it extremely dangerous to drive. i almost ran over a pedestrian today because i could not see him through the reflection which is the reason i finally decided to report this condition to nhtsa. i was crossing an intersection after making a stop for a stop-sign and started straight forward to cross the intersection. i barely was able to stop short of hitting a guy crossing the street.
My dashboard has started melting. it causes a huge glare across the front windshield and makes it difficult to drive. this is an accident waiting to happen. i did put my car in service at the mazda dealership in clear lake, texas and it sat there for over a month. they did give me a loaner car but they called me to drop off the loaner and pick up my car, i expressed how terrified i am to drive my vehicle and asked if i could stay in the loaner until the issue was resolved, and they said, "it was not their problem" and gave me the mazda corporate number "because it was mazda's problem not the dealership". i called mazda and they told me to return the loaner and to put a towel over the melted dashboard(which i have tried but cause a reflection). i am furious that my safety is not a priority to these people. i need help getting this issue resolved.
Dash board is melting and the gloss coat it leaves is throwing a serve glare in the driver's line of sight. manufacturer has been noyified and states that the vehicle is out of warranty even though there are numerious cases posted on-line for the same problems. mazda has built a vehicle with a known safety/manufacturer defect that they refuse to take responsiblity for. what does it take to get their attention? loss of life???
