What owners report
THERE ARE TWO SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS MINI VAN. THE FIRST ONE IS FOR THE DOOR HANDLES/LATCHES ON THE BACK SLIDING DOORS ON DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR IT AND APPARENTLY IT WAS FIXED IN 2009 BUT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AGAIN THAT IS GETTING WORSE. WHEN I TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR TO GET MY CHILD OUT THE DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT ENGAGE, I HAVE TO TRY TO OPEN FROM INSIDE AND SOMETIMES THAT DOES NTO ENGAGE, SO THEN I HAVE TO SLIDE THE LOCK BACK AND FORTH AND CONTINUE TO TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR UNTIL IT FINALLY OPENS. THIS OBVIOUSLY IS A BIG SAFETY PROBLEM IF WE WERE EVER TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT ETC. I CALLED MAZDA AND THEY SAID RECALL IS CLOSED AND THEY CAN NOT HELP ME UNLESS I WANT TO PAY DI
INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY AS WELL. THE LOSS IS SUDDEN AND CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD ONCE AND HIT A MEDIAN ON ANOTHER OCCASION. ITS LIKE A TIME BOMB, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL LOSE THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR. DASH LIGHTS ALL LIGHT UP AS WELL AND SOMETIMES POWER IS RESTORED BUT THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR IS NOT. CAR IS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL YET STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL ISSUE AND MAZDA CLAIMS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE. ADDITIONAL VEHICLES NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST AS THERE ARE MORE VEHICLES AFFECTED OUTSI
BRAKE PEDAL SPONGY AFTER ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATED,SEEM LIKE ABS CONTROL UNIT FAULT PUMP AIR IN BRAKE SYSTEM.IT IS A SAFETY ISSUES WITH A LOT OF MAZDA MODEL.MAZDA HAD TO DO SOME BEFORE SOMETHING BAD,ACCIDENT HAPPENS
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR FLEW OPEN WITH MY 5 AND 3 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. WHEN I PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO CLOSE IT I COULD SEE THAT THE LATCH WAS FROZEN OPEN. I COULD NOT GET IT TO LATCH AGAIN UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE HAD BEEN WARMER FOR HALF THE DAY. IT HAS BEEN COLDER THAT 25 DEGREES FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS.
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, MADE A U TURN AND SUDDENLY ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT OFF AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO TURN ON AND OFF WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AND CAUGHT FIRE. I HAD PARKED THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE ROAD ON A CITY STREET.
