What owners report
WINDOWS CANNOT OPEN IN HOT WEATHER. DEALER'S SERVICE MECHANICS ALWAYS JUST CLEAN THE RUBBER SEAL TRACT AND LUBRICATE IT, AND SO DO WE. WINDOWS GET STUCK AGAIN AFTER 3 DAYS. IT'S DANGEROUS, BECAUSE IF IN AN ACCIDENT, ONE CANNOT GET OUT THRU THE WINDOW. THERE ARE SO MANY CANALS NEXT TO SOUTH FLORIDA ROADS- AND SO MANY DEATH BY DROWNING IN THE CAR... NOT TALKING ABOUT INCONVENIENCE OF HAVING TO GET OUT FROM THE CAR TO PAY TOLLS AND GET THRU GATED COMMUNITY ENTRANCE. MECHANICS IN THE DEALERSHIP ARE SAYING, THAT THIS MODEL OF MAZDA HAS THIS PROBLEM AND THEY CANNOT DO MORE, BECAUSE EVEN IF THEY WOULD PUT NEW RUBBER SEALS OR DOOR, IT WOULD BE DOING THE SAME. *TR
