    IN AUGUST OF 2016 RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM MAZDA STATING MAZDA DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN MAZDA 2005 MPV. THE RECALL NOTICE CONTINUES TO STATE DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE HIGH LEVELS OF HUMIDITY CAN CAUSE THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAG TO RUPTURE AND COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE DRIVER OR OTHER VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. ON 10-31-16, I CALLED OAK TREE MAZDA, SAN JOSE TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT. I PROVIDED THEM WITH MY VIN NUMBER AND WAS TOLD BY THE PARTS DEPARTMENT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART IN STOCK AND WOULD NEED TO ORDER IT. THE SAID AS SOON AS THE PART CAME IN THEY WOULD CALL ME TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK WITHIN 1 MONTH. CALLED AGAIN AND WAS IN ESSENCE TOLD THE SAME INFORMATION TAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK WITH INFORMATION. PROVIDED THEM WITH MY CORRECT PHONE NUMBER AND AS OF THIS DATE, 2-9-17 HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK TO SCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT. PLEASE ASSIST ME IN GETTING THIS ISSUE FIXED SO WE CAN DRIVE OUR VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS INVOLVES THE "TAKATA RECALL" AS OUR PAPERWORK JUST INDICATES, FRONT AIR BAG INFLATOR.

    TAKATA RECALL HAS AFFECTED MY VEHICLE AND AFTER 7 MONTHS THE COMPANY NOR THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS DONE ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THE DEFECTIVE PART. WE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THIS IS TERRIBLY OBSTRUCTIVE TO OUR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS. I BELIEVE FAR TOO MUCH TIME HAS ELAPSED AND STILL THE COMPANY NOR THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS ADDRESSED THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE.

    MY VEHICLE IS UNDER NATIONAL RECALL HIGHWAY SAFETY RECALL, DUE TO MANUFACTURING ISSUES. I NEED TO TRADE MY VEHICLE IN AND I'M BEING OVER CHARGED FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT WORRY TO BE ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL I SHOULD GET AN MANUFACTURE DISCOUNT ON AN USED/NEW VEHICLE BECAUSE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR MANUFACTURED MISTAKES AND I SHOULD NOT BE OVER CHARGED FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT WORTHY OF THE PRICE TAG ON THEM. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

    WHEN LOOKING AT MY VEHICLE, I NOTICED GREASE STREAKS DRIPPING FROM A LINE ON MY ALLOY WHEEL. AFTER CLEANING THE GREASE OFF, WE NOTICED A CRACK COMPLETELY THROUGH THE SPOKES ON MY RIM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT BUT I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOT A PATTERN OF DEFECTS. I WAS TOLD ON BOTH OCCASIONS, AT MAZDA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS, MY VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MAZDA USA TOLD ME NO PATTERN OF INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AND ITS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE ON THEIR END ALTHOUGH THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SAY OTHERWISE.

    MY VEHICLE IS LISTED IN THE OCT 22, 2014 NHTSA PRESS RELEASE AS BEING INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I CONTACTED MAZDA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE (800) 222-5500 ON OCT 23 BUT, AFTER A FEW DAYS, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THEIR DATABASE AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE DEALER IN GUAM, TRIPLE J MOTORS (671) 648-2277, WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. THE DEALER RESPONDED TO ME VIA EMAIL ON OCT 29, STATING THAT ACCORDING TO MAZDA, THE AIRBAG RECALL "IS ONLY EXTENDED TO VEHICLES PURCHASED IN HAWAII, PUERTO RICO AND THE VIRGIN ISLANDS". I'M NOT SURE IF MAZDA IS CORRECT IN EXCLUDING GUAM BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA PRESS RELEASE IT "APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM RELATED TO EXTENDED EXPOSURE TO CONSISTENTLY HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURES" AND THE REGIONAL RECALL INCLUDED GUAM IN THE LIST OF AREAS. PLEASE VERIFY THIS AND LET ME KNOW. I AM CURRENTLY NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN FEAR OF THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. *TR

    VEHICLE IS MANIFESTING ROUGH IDLE WHEN TURNED-ON WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND/OR FLASHING. ENGINE AND VEHICLE IS JERKING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED LAST YEAR THROUGH DEALERSHIP BUT THIS KEPT HAPPENING FOR THE THIRD TIME WITHIN A YEAR. DEALERSHIP INDICATED ENGINE MISFIRING DUE TO BURNT ENGINE COIL. IF THIS KEEPS HAPPENING EVEN AFTER BEING REPAIRED FOR SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A YEAR, SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH MAZDA ENGINEERING. THIS IS A TREMENDOUS SAFETY ISSUE SPECIALLY FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHER MOTORISTS, AND THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE SHOULD BE SUBJECT FOR RECALL. *TR

    THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE ON THESE VANS IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED AND IS PRONE TO FAILURE WHICH STALLS THE ENGINE AND PUTS OCCUPANTS IN PERIL AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED WITHOUT POWER BRAKING OR STEERING. ONCE STALLED, THE ENGINE CAN OFTEN FAIL TO RESTART, LEAVING THE DRIVER UNPREPARED AND PARALYZED TO REACT. BACKGROUND - APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING OUR VAN USED (2-3 YRS OLD / 30K MILES), WE BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING RANDOMLY AFTER 6 MONTHS OF OWNING. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ENGINE STALLING WAS NOT A RESULT OF NOT MAINTAINING AN IDLE WELL ON A REGULAR BASIS. IT WAS RANDOM AND OFTEN FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH, ONCE THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO RESTART (BUT THEN WOULD GO AWAY COMPLETELY UNDETECTED). I CANNOT STRESS HOW UNPREDICTABLE THE ENGINE WAS OVER THE YEAR WE EXPERIENCED THIS INTERMITTENT STALLING. EVERY 1-3 WEEKS IT WOULD STALL AND SOMETIMES WE'D BE STRANDED 1-30 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING AND RUNNING NORMALLY (NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AFTER ENGINE SAT AND RESTARTED. LIGHT WOULD COME ON WHEN PROBLEMS STARTED AND WOULD CYCLE OFF ONCE ENGINE RAN AND COMPUTER CHECKED SENSORS. WHY THE CONTACT TO THE NHTSA? REAL ISSUE I HAVE WITH HERE IS THAT THE VAN WOULD RANDOMLY FAIL TO IDLE AND STALL THE MOTOR WHEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS OVER THE YEAR (6/2009 - 6/2010) THIS WENT UNIDENTIFIED. AS A PRIMARY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION IN OUR HOUSEHOLD FOR FOUR CHILDREN (AS MOST VANS ARE), MY WIFE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE STARTING IN BEGINNING OF 2010 BECAUSE OF HER EXPERIENCES AND SUBSEQUENT FEARS AFTER MANY CLOSE CALLS IN WHICH SHE COULDN'T STEER OR BRAKE IN A SAFE OR RELIABLE MANNER. THE DRIVER MUST SHIFT TO NEUTRAL (WHILE AT 70+ MPH), AND ATTEMPT TO TURN THE ENGINE OVER, TO GAIN CONTROL AGAIN. TAKE ACTION ON THIS AS IT IS FAR TOO COMMON AND DANGEROUS TO IGNORE. MAZDA MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE SAFE OPERATION OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR

    I WAS WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO MY DRIVE WAY, WAITING TO CLEAR ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS CLEARED, I FOUND A GAP BEFORE THE NEXT CAR COMES MY WAY AND I DECIDED IT WAS SAFE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I TURNED THE WHEELS OF MY MAZDA MPV , BUT CAR WENT STALLED, IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO STOP THE ENGINE, AND RESTART THE CAR. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE DUE TO CLOGGED UP IAC VALVE. THIS IS A VERY BIG RISK TO THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

    I WAS DRIVING AT A VERY LOW SPEED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC . LANE NEXT TO ME STARTED MOVING, SO I DECIDED TO CHANGE LANE, FIND A EMPTY SPACE BETWEEN 2 VEHICLES AND DECIDED TO MAKE A TURN. MY MAZDA STALLED , AND DID NOT MOVE. I HAD TO PUT IT BACK TO "PARK", STOP THE CAR, AND RESTART, AFTER THAT IT RAN OK. ALL THIS WAS ON A FREEWAY WITH MOVING TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE, WHEN MY WHEELS WERE TURNED AND PARTIALLY ON THE NEXT LANE AND CAR BODY WAS STANDING STILL. I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE , DUE TO IAC VALVE GETTING CLOGGED UP. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL . *TR
