THE HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS HAVE HAZED OVER. THIS CONDITION HAS SEVERLY LIMITED THE LIGHT OUTPUT OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND THE MANUFACTURER CONTENDS THAT THIS IS NORMAL WEAR ON THE HEADLIGHT. *JS I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY INTENDED THE LIGHT OUTPUT TO DIMINISH OVER TIME TO THE POINT WHERE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSINGS RESTRICT LIGHT OUTPUT BELOW MINIMUM LUMEN.OUTPUT

I OWN A 2006 MAZDA MPV. ON SEPTEMBER 26, MY WIFE HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE ENTERING IN OUR HOME DRIVE WAY, WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND STRUCK THE GARAGE DOOR AND CRASHED AGAINST THE INTERNAL WALL THAT DIVIDE THE GARAGE FROM THE KITCHEN. WE DID NOT REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO THE POLICE OR THE INSURANCE TO AVOID FURTHER INCREASE IN THE QUOTES INSURANCE BUT OUR NEIGHBORS SAW THE ACCIDENT. WE HAD TO HIRE A SPECIALIZED DOOR COMPANY TO REPLACE THE GARAGE DOOR AND A HANDYMAN TO FIX THE GARAGE SIDE AND THE KITCHEN SIDE. THE ESTIMATED COST FOR THE CAR REPAIR IS $2,000.00, NEW GARAGE DOOR $1,175.00 AND THE WALL $250. A FEW DAYS AFTER WE BOTH THIS CAR, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AT THE AUTO PARTS PARKING LOT WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES, JUST THE TERRIBLE MOMENT IN WHAT YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN'T STOP YOUR CAR. WE FOUNDED AT LEAST 15 COMPLAINTS IN THE INTERNET RELATED TO THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH THE MAZDA MPV. ALL THESE COMPLAINS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. *TR

THE ELECTRIC WINDOW CONTROL FOR THE 2006 MAZDA MPV FAILED TO LOWER THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WHEN ENGAGED. WHEN THE OTHER WINDOW CONTROLS WERE ENGAGED, THE CONTROL PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR BEGAN TO MAKE A WHINING NOISE AND SMOKE. WE REPORTED IT TO THE MAZDA DEALER WHO TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM QUITE A BIT, BUT IT IS NOT ON ANY RECALL AND WOULD COST ALMOST $1,000 TO FIX. WE TOOK THE FUSE OUT THAT CONTROLLED THE WINDOWS AND HAVE NOT HAD IT FIXED YET. *TR

THE DEALER REPLACED THE FILLER TUBE FOR FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. EVERY TIME I PUMP GAS INTO THE VEHICLE I GET BACK SPLASH THAT GOES ALL OVER MYSELF AND THE GROUND. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER DON'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE FILLER TUBE TWICE AND THE GAS TANK, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS BACK SPLASH IS DANGEROUS TO MY HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE PROBLEM WASN'T THERE WHEN I BOUGHT THE VAN. *TR

AT LOW SPEED, 20 TO 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION JERKS SO MUCH THAT THE HEADREST HITS MY HEAD BADLY. IT IS ALMOST LIKE THE VEHICLE IS REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY HEAD IS STILL DIZZY AFTER A DAY. THIS JERKING FREQUENCY IS ABOUT TWICE IN THE PAST 4 WEEKS.
