Emergency brake Calipers not working. Same problem as previous years recall. Calipers stuck.

Oct 13, 2023

Mazda recalled the problem with the emergency brake(recall1217F) .The dealership did some cosmetic fix that did not prevent it from happening. The emergency brake when applied activated a lever when the brake is released the lever returns to it's original position.The recall was supposed to address the corrosion on the lever shaft that causes it to stick and not release the brake.

AIR BAGS

6 complaints

Hi, car was involved in a small fender bender. Airbags were NOT deployed. However, an error code 19 (B0001) came on the dash related to driver side sensor. If not fixed, airbags will not deploy in case of accident and that puts me and my family in danger. Dealer won't service the vehicle because it has more than 100,000 miles (122,000 miles to be exact on my car). Other mechanics won't touch the airbag system. What am I supposed to do as the car is not safe to be driven and dealer refusing to help.

WHEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN AN INTERSECTION, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED INCORRECTLY. IT POPPED OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL BUT FAILED TO INFLATE.

THE AIRBAG HOWEVER WAS FULLY INFLATED 48 HOURS LATER WHEN SITTING IN A TOWING YARD.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2015 MAZDA 6. WHILE TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT 60 MPH HIGHWAY, MY SUNROOF WINDOW SUDDENLY EXPLODED, WITH A LOUD "BANG!". THE WINDOW WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME AND HAD NOT BEEN OPENED IN APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS. FORTUNATELY, THE INTERIOR DEFLECTOR (SLIDING COVER) WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME, OR GLASS SHARDS WOULD HAVE RAINED DOWN ON MY FACE AND HAIR. NO OBJECTS OR SUDDEN MOTIONS PROVOKED THE EXPLOSION. POLICE WOULD NOT WRITE A REPORT BECAUSE THERE WERE "NO SUSPECTS OF VANDALISM" AND "NO COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR PROPERTY". $725 LATER, I HAVE A NEW REPLACEMENT WINDOW FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND HOPE FOR NO SIMILAR FUTURE INCIDENTS OR POSSIBLE MOLD/MILDEW ISSUES. THE CAUSE OF THE SAFETY RISK IS UNKNOWN BUT IS CERTAINLY UNACCEPTABLE, GIVEN THAT I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS AND AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF ONLY 3 YEARS. I HAVE REPAIR INVOICES, SHOULD THEY BE NECESSARY TO SUBSTANTIATE THIS COMPLAINT.

Sep 30, 2018

I HAD DONE TONS OF RESEARCH AND FINALLY FOUND THE VEHICLE THAT I WAS WANTING. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW MAZDA6. I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF, WHEN SUDDENLY, AS I WAS ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I GOT MY SPEED UP TO APPROXIMATELY 35-45 MPH WHEN I HEARD THREE LOUD POPS. I SAW MY WINDSHIELD BEGINNING TO SPLIT FROM THE SEAL AT THE BASE. IT SPLIT CENTRAL ABOVE MY DEFROSTER. BY THE TIME I TRAVELED TWO MILES TO PULL OVER, I HAD WATCHED THE CRACK GROW, FORMING AN S SHAPE ONTO MY WINDSHIELD. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS IMMEDIATELY ADVISED IF IT WAS A ROCK CHIP, IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THERE WAS NO ROCK CHIP ON MY WINDSHIELD, I LOOKED AT IT AND TOOK PICTURES OF IT. BY THE END OF THE DAY WHEN I HAD GOTTEN OFF OF WORK, THE CRACK HAD GROWN, COVERING ABOUT 1/3 OF THE HEIGHT OF MY WINDSHIELD. THE SPLIT BEGAN WIDEN A BIT AND A COUPLE OF LITTLE GLASS FRAGMENTS WERE BREAKING OFF. I BROUGHT IT UP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WITHIN SECONDS THEY STATED IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED DUE TO A ROCK CHIP WHEN I WATCHED IT SPLIT FROM THE BASE SEAL OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OR SIGN OF A CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. THEY MADE SUCH A QUICK JUDGMENT THAT I FEEL THEY HAD MADE THIS DECISION PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL. *TR

Mar 25, 2015

CRACK IN WINDSHIELD. WENT INTO STORE, NO CRACK. CAME BACK OUT, CRACK. NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS, HAVE NEVER HAD A WINDSHIELD CRACK, EVEN WHEN IT HAD BEEN CHIPPED BY ROCKS. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. THE CRACK IS IN THE CENTER OF WINDSHIELD, STARTS BELOW THE SEAL AT THE BOTTOM AND GOES ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WAY UP. *TR

Mar 23, 2015

BRAND NEW VEHICLE AND RECEIVED A TWENTY-SIX INCH LONG GLASS BREAK ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FROM A SMALL TINY ROCK. THE BREAK BEGINS AT THE STRUCTURE OF THE WINDSHIELD FRAME AND EXTENDS BEYOND. THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED TO RECEIVE ANY BREAK IN THE GLASS FROM A TINY ROCK ALONG WITH THE NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. FURTHERMORE, DAYS LATER ANOTHER TINY ROCK HIT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IN THE SAME AREA AND CREATED ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER BREAK BUT A CHIP INSTEAD. *TR

Feb 20, 2015

AFTER MY FIRST TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE 2015 MAZDA6, IT GOT THREE CHIPS/CRACKS IN THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS NOT FROM A SIZABLE STONE, BUT TINY PEBBLES THAT IN OTHER CARS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. AFTER OWNING MANY CARS OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED ONE TO BE SO QUICK TO GET CRACKS. I AM QUITE BOTHERED THAT IN ONLY SEVEN DAYS MY NEW CAR NEEDS SOMETHING REPLACED DUE TO A WEAK COMPONENT. *TR

STRUCTURE

3 complaints

The contact owns a 2015 Mazda Mazda6. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a loud clanking sound coming from the rear end on the passenger's side. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that the rear end of the vehicle was severely corroded. The contact reached out to a mobile independent mechanic, and it was determined that the underbody of the vehicle was severely damaged and could not be repaired or replaced. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 111,000.

May 02, 2025

MY WIFE MOVED OUR 2015 MAZDA6. SHE MOVED THE CAR DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, PRESSED THE BRAKE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK. SHE THEN PROCEEDED TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. IN DOING SO, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AND WHEN SHE RELEASED THE BRAKE THE CAR ROLLED 3 FEET. FRANTICALLY, SHE PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE AND PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. HOWEVER, THE CAR ROLLED INTO A POST AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE HOOD, MOLDING AND BOTTOM BUMPER OF OUR BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE MY 2015 MAZDA 6 FOR ONLY ONE AND HALF MONTH. MY WINDSHIELD HAS A CRACK OF ALMOST 20 INCH LONG. ALMOST EVERYDAY AS I DRIVE, I WOULD HEAR LITTLE THINGS HITTING MY CAR THAT LEAVES MARKS ON MY WINDSHIELD AND BODY. THE REASON I HEAR THE SOUNDS IS BECAUSE OF ITS LESS THAN AVERAGE SOUNDPROOF STRUCTURE. I DO NOT DRIVE ANY DIFFERENTLY THEN I HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS, AND MOSTLY I AM JUST DRIVING TO WORK. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS CONSISTENT PROBLEM BEFORE WITH MY CARS, IN FACT, FOR ALL THE CARS I EVER DROVE, NEW OR OLD, OWN OR BORROWED, NO CAR GETS MARK AND DENTS AS EASILY AS THIS ONE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A QUALITY PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND IT IS UNETHICAL FOR MAZDA TO SELL CUSTOMERS VEHICLES THAT ARE COMPLETELY RESISTANT-LESS IN WEAR AND TEAR ON A NORMAL USE. *TR

POWER TRAIN

3 complaints

AUDIBLE WHINE FROM TRANSMISSION WHEN IN MOTION. I CAN'T RECREATE THE NOISE WHEN STOPPED OR IN NEUTRAL AND CAN BE HEARD WHEN IN DRIVING AND PICKING UP SPEED.

Aug 11, 2020

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRED AS FOLLOWS: TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH IN CITY TRAFFIC (TAYLOR STREET, COLUMBIA SC). CAR LOST POWER AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. WARNING DISPLAYED ON DASH "ATS FAILURE." I POWERED OFF THE ENGINE AND RE-STARTED ENGINE AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET BEFORE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP AFTER 4TH ATTEMPT. TECHNICIANS LABELED THE ISSUE AS A "FLUKE" AND THEY COULD FIND NO REASON FOR FAILURE, ALTHOUGH THEY DID VERIFY THE CODE P0780 WHICH STATED TO RE-PROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE (WHICH I HAD BEEN EARLIER IN THE DAY), THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS.

May 06, 2016

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 MAZDA 6. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED AND THE SCBS WARNING AND ENGINE CHECK REQUIRED WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

WHEELS

3 complaints

LAST WEEK THE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT WAS FELT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GOING OUT OF CONTROL AND A METALLIC KNOCKING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT SIDE. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE HAD COMPLETELY DEFLATED. BUT HE TPMS DID NOT SHOW ANY ABNORMALITY EVER DURING THE DRIVE. THE TIRE WAS DAMAGED TO AN EXTENT THAT IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THANKFULLY THIS HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED AND IT APPEARS THAT THE TPMS SENSORS (ON WHICH THERE WAS AN EARLIER RECALL) IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY.

Sep 10, 2018

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN MY 2015 MADZA6 WHEN I NOTICED THE CAR IS SWERVING A BIT TO THE RIGHT. I THOUGHT MY CAR HAD A SMALL ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. SO I CONTINUE DRIVING AS I DID NOT SEE HERE ANY BEEPS AND THERE'S NO WARNING ON MY DASHBOARD. IT WAS ABOUT 3 TO 4 MILES LATER WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THE CAR WAS SWERVING A BIT TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT AND I CAN HEAR GROWLING SOUND WHICH SEEMS TO COME FROM THE TIRES. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH AT THAT TIME AND THERE WERE SOME SNOW AND ICE ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE 3 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW OVERNIGHT. WITHOUT HESITATING, I DROVE TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND CHECKED MY CAR. YAP! I HAD A FLAT TIRE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. IF THAT'S IS SO, WHY DIDN'T THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPS) GAVE ME A BEEP AND LIGHTS UP ON THE DASHBOARD? ALSO, I REMEMBERED TAKING MY CAR TO THE SUBURBAN MADZA6 DEALER IN TROY MICHIGAN SOMETIME IN DECEMBER 2014 TO HAVE THE TPS FIXED DUE TO A MADZA RECALL. SO WHY ISN'T THE TPS ON MY CAR WORKING? MY ODOMETER SHOWS ONLY ABOUT 8065 MILES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I CHANGED THE FLAT TIRE WITH MY SPARE AND TOOK THE FLAT TIRE TO DISCOUNT TIRE (248-3931900) IN AUBURN HILLS, MI AND UNFORTUNATELY, THEY TOLD ME MY TIRE IS BAD AS IT WAS DRIVEN FOR QUITE A DISTANCE WITH LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THE TIRE STILL HAS ABOUT 80 TO 90% THREAD ON IT. THE NEXT MORNING, I COMPLAINED TO MADZA USA (1-800-2225500) ABOUT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. I EXPLAINED TO JESSIE WHOM I SPOKE TO ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. THE CASE NUMBER IS 1-1-91037814. HE CHECKED MY CAR RECORD AND ADMIT I DID HAVE THE TPS RECALL DONE. BUT HE SAID THERE IS A RECENT TPS RECALL BUT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED THROUGH MAIL OR PHONE. I TOLD JESSIE THAT MADZA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE TPS AND SHOULD ALSO PAY FOR MY TIRE. INSTEAD HE ONLY GIVE ME A $100 COUPON TO BE USED FOR MADZA PRODUCT AND SERVICES. I HOPE TO RECORD THIS COMPLAINT FOR OTHER MADZA6 OWNERS.

Jan 15, 2016

COMING HOME FROM VACATION ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY LARGE EXPLOSION. THE RIM BLEW OUT AND THE TIRE WITH IT. THERE WAS NO ROAD HAZARD THAT WE HIT. THE HOLE IN THE RIM IS APPROX. 3-4" AND 6-8" SPLIT IN THE RIM.

SUSPENSION

2 complaints

The contact owns a 2015 Mazda Mazda6. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormally loud clicking sound coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that the rear of the vehicle was bouncing, and the clicking sound was extremely loud. The contact stopped and parked the vehicle. The contact was fearful of driving the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact stated that an independent mobile mechanic visited the residence and inspected the vehicle. The vehicle was diagnosed with severe corrosion of the suspension. The contact was informed that the corrosion was irreparable. In addition, the contact was informed that the rear passenger’s side suspension was fractured due to severe corrosion. The dealer that sold the vehicle was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact stated that the vehicle had been parked since the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Apr 24, 2025

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD STRANGE GRUNTING, SQUEAKING, POPPING NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONTEND, PARTICULARLY THE DRIVERS SIDE. IT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JUNE 2017. THE NOISE SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN DRIVING OVER SMALL BUMPS. IT'S VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN I BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM. THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS EXACT ISSUE AND FOUND THERE IS A TSB FOR THE SUSPENSION ISSUE I'M DESCRIBING. I'M JUST GETTING WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY. I'M AFRAID SOMETHING WILL FAIL AND I FEEL IT'S THE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT THIS UNSAFE ISSUE WITH THE SUSPENSION THAT AFFECTING MANY OTHER MAZDA 6 VEHICLES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Fuel started leaking after 90,000 miles when tank is over 3/4 full.

Feb 07, 2025

I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I USUALLY BUY GAS BY THE DOLLAR AMOUNT, BUT DID A COMPLETE COMPLETE FILL UP FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING AWAY THEN PARKING AT HOME, I NOTICED A HEAVY GASOLINE SMELL AND CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR. THERE WAS A CONSTANT DRIP (EVERY 15 SEC OR SO) COMING FROM UNDERNEATH, NEAR THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. I NOW HAVE A PUDDLE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WHAT IF SOMEONE FLICKS A CIGARETTE AND IT CATCHES FIRE WHILE PARKED?! MY MECHANIC SAYS THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AFTER A COMPLETE FULL UP, AND SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN.

STEERING

2 complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 MAZDA 6 GT, WITH 40,0000 MILES ON IT, ON A MAIN LOCAL ROAD, WITH A MAX SPEED LIMIT REQUIREMENT OF 45 MPH, I ATTEMPTED TO TURN INTO THE RIGHT TURN LANE AT A SPEED OF APPROX 35 MPH, WHILE LIGHTLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE. AS I BEGAN TO TURN, THE STEERING JUST LOCKED UP, AND THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. A FEW DASHBOARD LIGHTS ALSO CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME.. ONE SAID POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION, THE OTHER WAS A RED HAZARD SYMBOL, AND I DON'T SPECIFICALLY RECALL THE OTHER. I FINALLY SHUT THE CAR OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS THE WHEEL REGAINED MOBILITY AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WENT OFF. I CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY DROVE MY CAR HOME, APRROX 2 MILES FROM WHERE IT HAPPENED. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE, DUE TO FEAR OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE WHEN IT HAPPENED.

Oct 03, 2020

THE CAR DOES NOT STEER IN A TRUSTWORTHY MANNER AND IS UNRESPONSIVE AT TIMES WHICH NEGATIVELY IMPACTS THE DRIVER'S ASSERTION OF WHERE THE CAR IS ON THE ROAD AND HOW IT WILL HANDLE. THE STEERING WHEEL ITSELF BEHAVES LOOSELY AND THE TURNING CAPABILITY OF THE CAR IS UNPREDICTABLE. THUS FAR THE CAUSE AND A SOLUTION TO IT HAS NOT BEEN FOUND. THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS HAD IT 5 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS, INCLUDING EXTENDED PERIODS, AND DESPITE VALIANT ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM, IT CONTINUES TO ELUDE THE TECHNICIANS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

2 complaints

AFTER STOPPING, THE CAR DOES NOT POWER OFF ALL THE WAY, DASHBOARD AND RADIO ARE STILL ON. IT HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY AND IN SOME CASES I WASTE A LOT OF TIME TO TRY THIS 10-20 TIME BEFORE IT ACTUALLY TURNS OFF. ON SOME OCCASIONS, I DID NOT HAVE MUCH TIME AND I LEFT IT THAT WAY AND I COULD NOT CLOSE THE CAR AND AFTER FEW HOURS THE BATTERY DRAINED AND I COULD NOT START THE CAR.

Apr 08, 2019

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JANUARY OF 2017. LATELY, I NOTICED THE RIGHT SIDE OF DASH WENT BLACK, AS STEERING INFO SWITCH FAILS WHILE DRIVING. BEFORE OUR SUMMER VACATION ROAD TRIP, I READ THROUGH THE MANUAL AND TESTED OUT ELECTRONIC "BELLS AND WHISTLES", I DISCOVERED THE MASTER CONTROL SWITCH IN CONSOLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL'S RADIO VOLUME CONTROL WERE NON-FUNCTIONAL(NEVER WORKED). THERE WAS NO FUSE TO CHECK. MAZDA DEALER CLAIMS SHORTED OUT DUE TO BEVERAGE SPILL AS CUP HOLDERS ARE LOCATED NEXT TO MASTER CONTROL SWITCH. IF SO, WHY AREN'T RELATIVELY "HIGH" VOLTAGE WIRES PROTECTED AND WATERPROOF AT THIS LOCATION? DEALER HAS HAD VEHICLE MORE THAT TWO WEEKS; AS DEALER CLAIMS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS NEED TO BE TRACED BACK INTO STEERING WHEEL AND DASH. BACK IN JANUARY, AS I WAS SIGNING A PURCHASE AGREEMENT, THE DEALERSHIP'S FINANCE EMPLOYEE STRONGLY SUGGESTED I ALSO BUY AN ADDITIONAL REPAIR CONTRACT BECAUSE "THIS MODEL HAS LIKE 15 COMPUTERS IN IT." I DID, BUT NOW I WISH I DIDN'T BUY THE VEHICLE. I DON'T BELIEVE WIRING IN THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

2 complaints

INTERMITTENTLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS DO NOT PERFORM THEIR PROPER FUNCTION. WHEN EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE, ALL OF THE FOLLOWING OCCUR: 1) CANCEL BUTTON FUNCTIONS AS THE MINUS (DECELERATE) BUTTON, 2) THE MINUS BUTTON FUNCTIONS AS THE PLUS (ACCELERATE) BUTTON, 3) THE PLUS BUTTON DOESN'T WORK, AND 4) THE OFF BUTTON DISENGAGES THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT DOES NOT SHUTOFF THE CRUISE CONTROL MAIN POWER. THIS BEHAVIOR IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE WITH THE CANCEL BUTTON ACTING AS THE MINUS BUTTON, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ACTIVATE WITH THE CANCEL BUTTON. IN ADDITION, HAVING THE MINUS BUTTON FUNCTION AS THE PLUS BUTTON COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE CAR BEHAVES IN THE OPPOSITE MANNER AS EXPECTED. THE ISSUE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM ON TWO SEPARATE VISITS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR OVER 18 MONTHS. I'VE FOUND THAT HITTING THE EDGE OF THE STEERING WHEEL HARD WILL CLEAR THE PROBLEM - GENERALLY FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, BUT IT RETURNS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. I'M REPORTING THE PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA BECAUSE AN INTERNET SEARCH HAS SHOWN SIMILAR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. NO ONE HAS POSTED A CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM OR RESOLUTION. HERE IS A SEPARATE INCIDENT SIMILAR TO MINE FROM A MAZADA 6 FORUM: HTTP://FORUM.MAZDA6CLUB.COM/ELECTRICAL/350433-CRUISE-MAIN-OFF-NOT-WORKING.HTML AND ANOTHER, SEPARATE INCIDENT WITH VIDEO ON YOUTUBE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=0YCU3VDFIEU&T=90S&LIST=FLB8SH0OS-Z9O2RC1I0I4ZLG&INDEX=1 AND MY POSTS ON YOUTUBE SHOWING HOW MY CAR RESPONDS.

My RPM'S reaved up real high while driving 60mph and all the sudden the car down shifted and I had to put car in neutral in order maintain control. The traction control light and heck engine lights came on same time, lost power to the car the navigation and radio and dash lights, had no power to drive train, had vechile dinogstic check done at O'Reilly auto and they told me it was a PCM power control module. And I called the mazda dealer in Fostoria ohio the macanhic told me the PCM power control module had been reprogram and I never received no notice on any recalls or the person I bought my car never either. My car is 7 years old and if it war reprogram it should not go bad that soon. Unless there is a problem with there components there using. But my car will cause a accident if I continue to drive it. I like my mazda6 2015 but I'm afraid after having the car doing what it did to me on the highway. I had no warning lights come on until the day I was driving down the highway when this problem occurred.

VEHICLE HAS HAD 3 WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENTS IN JUST THREE YEARS OF USE AND OWNERSHIP. THE WINDSHIELD DESIGN SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY FRAGILE AND INDUCES SAFETY RELATED SENSOR FUNCTION ANOMALIES. MY GRAND TOURING MODEL IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH A BOSE SPEAKER SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES POPPING FROM A FAULTY SPEAKER. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES.

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE SHORE TODAY GOING 70MPH I HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND WITHIN 15 SECOND MY 2015 MAZDA 6 13,000 MILES WAS OUT OF CONTROL I BARLEY MADE IT CROSSING FOUR LANES OF TRAFFICS TO GET ONTO THE SHOULDER. ONCE I EXITED THE CAR I NOTICED THE LEFT REAR TIRE P245/65R19 SPORT WAS THE ISSUE UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION I NOTICED THE TIRE BROKE OFF APPROX 1" ABOVE WHERE THE DOT NUMBERS ARE LOCATED. THE INSIDE OF TIRE TO THE RIM ALSO BROKE OFF COMPLETELY FROM THE RIM. THE TIRE WAS STILL COMPLETELY ROUND BUT WAS SEPARATED FROM THE RIM. STILL APPROX 2" OF THE RUBBER WAS STILL ATTACHED TO THE BOTH SIDES OF THE RIM. I TOOK NUMEROUS PICTURES OF THE TIRE AND RIM. I'M NOW AFRAID THE THREE REMAINING TIRES MAY STILL HAVE THIS TYPE OF DEFECT. I WAS A POLICE OFFICER FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS AND WOULD OCCASIONALLY TRAVEL WELL OVER 100MPH WHILE PERFORMING MY DUTIES AND NOT ONCE IN THOSE 35 YEARS DID I EVER EXPERIENCE A TIRE SEPARATING FROM THE RIM LIKE TODAY. I REALLY FEEL THAT IF THIS HAPPENED TO AN AVERAGE DRIVER THAT DRIVER WOULD'VE COMPLETELY LOSS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEATH TO HIM OR TO OTHER DRIVERS. PLEASE RESPOND BACK TO ME ASAP. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN SEND YOU THE PICTURES I TOOK ON IPHONE.

WAS FOLLOWING A CAR AND CAME UP TO A STOP LIGHT. I DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AND FELT SOME RESISTANCE BUT CAR WOULD NOT STOP. FELT LIKE THE BRAKES WERE BEING BLED OFF BY PERHAPS COMPUTER CONTROL. I SWITCHED INTO A RIGHT HAND TURN LANE THAT WAS CLEAR, CAR STILL NOT STOPPING. SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, AND ENGINE STARTED TO REV UP PERHAPS TO 4500 RPM OR SO, THEN ENGINE WENT BACK TO IDLE ON ITS OWN. THE CAR HAD STOPPED AND I PUT IT IN PARK. WE THEN TURNED RIGHT AND CAUTIOUSLY PROCEEDED HOME, WITHOUT A FURTHER PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER AND REQUESTED THE MEMORY BE ANALYZED, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT READ THE BLACK BOX AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT SHOWED NO FAULTS. TEST DRIVE WAS UNEVENTFUL. I AGAIN REQUESTED THE BLACK BOX BE ANALYZED AS THE BRAKES APPEARED TO BE BLEEDING OFF. THEY SAID THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW IF MAZDA NEEDED ANYTHING MORE. MY BACKGROUND INCLUDES AUTO MECHANIC, TOW TRUCK DRIVER, CAR DEALERSHIP, TECHNICIAN, SOFTWARE ENGINEER, AND ANALYST. *TR

WE WERE ON A HIGHWAY ACCESS ROAD, SLOWING FOR A TURN ONTO AN OVERPASS. A PIECE OF GRAVEL FROM A GRAVEL TRUCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD. WE WERE NOT FOLLOWING CLOSELY. WE DID NOT SEE THE GRAVEL. WITHIN SECONDS OF THE GRAVEL IMPACT, AND AS WE SLOWED AND TURNED ONTO THE OVERPASS, THE WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED AN OVER 20 INCH CRACK. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD, WHICH COST US A $500 DEDUCTIBLE. GRAVEL TRUCKS ARE A FACT OF LIFE. ON ALL OF OUR OTHER CARS, WE HAVE HAD TO REPAIR WINDSHIELD ROCK CHIPS. THIS IS THE FIRST CAR WE'VE OWNED WHERE A PIECE OF GRAVEL RESULTED IN A REPLACED WINDSHIELD. THIS IS CONCERNING. *TR
