Mazda North America Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2003-2008 Mazda6, 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6 and 2004 MPV vehicles nationwide. Mazda is also recalling 2005-2006 MPV vehicles in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands. On July 9, 2019 this recall was expanded to include certain 2004-2011 RX-8 vehicles that were previously recalled under 16V-354 but have not yet been repaired. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these passenger air bag inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

Hello i am a 2nd owner of a Mazda 2007 6. And the man i brought car from said it always did it to him as well.i would explain it as in stopping or speeding up the dashboard lights flicker or goes off, the engine gets real loud and car jerks and shakes and loses power check engine light comes on and AT.and Cars dyes in reverse a few times on me. Auto lots said that it is common and known for electrical problems and engine issues and pieces called camshafts position actuator and transmission range sensor and gears. And the man owned before me has replaced them multiple times. Its dangerous to be driving specially on interstate and car stalls or lose so much power that i only get about 20 miles an hour

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY,AND WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON AND GO OFF WHENEVER IT DECIDES TO, WHEATHER IT'S DAY OR NIGHT.

SEAT BELTS

I'M STUCK IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE NO AMOUNT OF PRESSURE WILL RELEASE THE SWITCH LEVER. LUCKILY THIS WASN'T A TRAFFIC STOP BECAUSE THIS WOULD HAVE MADE THINGS COMPLICATED IF NOT DEADLY, NOT EVEN CONSIDERING THE HIGH POSSIBILITY THAT I WOULD NEED TO EXIT THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHOULD I BE IN A ACCIDENT.

STEERING,SUSPENSION,ENGINE

MAZDA 2007 MAZDA 6 WITH SEVERE CORROSION TO ENGINE SUBFRAME POSING A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IF BREAKS WHILE DRIVING. CURRENT MAZDA 6 IN QUESTION HAD LESS THAN 100K MILES AND WAS SPOTTED BY AN OIL CHANGE TECHNICIAN. I'VE ASKED A COUPLE MECHANICS AND WAS INFORMED THE CAR WOULD BE A POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP TO MYSELF OR OTHERS IF NOT FIXED QUICKLY. ALL PARTIES ARE AMAZED AT AMOUNT OF CORROSION, INTERNET SEARCHES SUGGEST THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND ALREADY A RECALL IN PLACE FOR OTHER YEAR MAZDA 6'S.

STRUCTURE

SUBFRAME RUSTED IN THE FRONT RIGHT, BEHIND THE ENGINE CLOSE TO THE CONTROL ARM. JUST THIS PART OF THE SUBFRAME.

AIR BAGS

TAKATA RECALL. FOR THE PAST YEAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON. IT SEEMS TO OCCUR AT WARMER TEMPERATURES AND GOES AWAY AND COLDER TEMPERATURES. THE CODE THAT COMES BACK IS B2234 AND THIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG. I BELIEVE THIS HAS OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT THAT WAS DONE ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE TAKATA RECALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE ARE KNOWN TO GO OUT BECAUSE OF A 'HARNESS ISSUE' AFTER RESEARCH NUMEROUS OTHER MAZDA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSSUE. THIS IS WHOLE STATIONARY, IN MOTION , CITY, HIGHWAY, DOESN'T MATTER. A QUICK REMEDY IS HITTING THE LIGHT AND IT'LL TURN BACK ON. I RECEIVED A TICKET ON A MILITARY BASE BECAUSE OF THIS. IM
