I was driving down the freeway in the rain and the windshield wipers quit functioning. i pulled over and checked the fuses finding both fuses affecting the wipers were in working order. while pulled over, i also noticed my headlights were no longer on. i checked the fuses related to the headlights and these were also in working order. as i was not in a good location to leave my car for any period of time, i drove my car a few more miles down the road. during this time, the warning for the "smart breaking system failure" also came on. i was able to get my vehicle into the dealership and they have diagnosed the problem as a failure of the front body control module. i noticed there is an active recall on the 2016 mazda 3 for the very same issue. i asked the dealer about this and they said my vehicle is not affected by this recall. based on the symptoms my car has, and being the same year as cars affected, i would strongly disagree.
Windshield is too thin, and breaks very easily. a small (less than a quarter inch) stone hit my windshield on the passenger side about 6 inches from the bottom, cracking it while i was following another vehicle at 60 mph and about 3 to 4 seconds apart.
