2007 MAZDA !MX-5

Launch edition 2016 miatas equipped with bsm h have known defective modules. Mazda has put out a tsb but have not initiated a recall. Bsm will randomly disable itself and stop functioning until you turn the vehicle off and then on again.

There is a leak on the passenger side footwear which has caused rust on the from cross frame and the wires for the airbag to get wet and other wires.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY FEW WEEKS, VARIOUS OBD CODES: P0455, P2402, P2407. THIS MODEL HAS A KNOW EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM. SELLING DEALER REPLACED FILLER CAP TWICE AND A PURGE VALVE BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP CLOSED. SOME FILLER PIPES ARE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. OTHER DEALERS ARE NOT INTERESTED WITHOUT CHARGING 3 FIGURE AMOUNTS FOR 'DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO MAZDA, THEY REFER ME TO A DEALER, DEALER WANTS BIG BUCKS TO 'DIAGNOSE' A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH I'M NOT WILLING TO PAY. I JUST WANT THE DEFECTIVE CAR FIXED. IT HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON PERHAPS 50 TIMES. I ALSO COMPLAINED TO THE SELLING DEALER ABOUT THE CLUTCH BEING HARD TO DISENGAGE, AND WAS TOLD "IT WAS NORMAL." I FIND TODAY THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THAT SAME ISSUE.

FAILED PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR DIAGNOSED BY LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP - PARTS AND LABOR NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO AGE OF CAR. PARTS/LABOR EXCEED $1600 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS UNDER 60K MILES, AND RARELY HAS A PASSENGER-SEAT OCCUPANT (SO VERY LITTLE STRESS/WEAR ON THE SEAT) AND HAS HAD NO PHYSICAL OR WATER DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SIMILAR SCENARIO TO THE GM SKY/SOLSTICE VEHICLES - WHERE A LOW VOLUME SPECIALTY VEHICLE DOES NOT GARNER THE ATTENTION. REVIEWING MAZDA FORUMS SHOWS THAT THIS DEFECT IS NOT UNCOMMON, AND SHOULD BE RESEARCHED ON A PROBLEMS PER HUNDRED UNITS BASIS. MY GUESS IS THAT THE PPHU WOULD EXCEED THAT OF OTHER VEHICLES RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES.

CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A PUBLIC ROAD WITH THE STEERING WHILE SLIGHTLY TURNED WHEN THE BACK END GAVE OUT AND DANGEROUSLY FISHTAILED OVER ALL LANES OF THE ROAD. VEHICLE'S TOE CONTROL LINK FAILED AT 50MPH CAUSED THIS. CONSIDERING THIS IS A SAFETY CRITICAL OEM PART THAT WAS NEVER ALTERED OR CHANGED, AND THE VEHICLE WAS WELL BELOW LIFE EXPECTANCY (107,000 AT TIME OF INCIDENT), THIS SITUATION WAS RARE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAD THE OPERATOR NOT REGAINED CONTROL. ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT MAZDA TO SEE IF THIS HAS EVER BEEN REPORTED OR RECALLED WERE UNSUCCESSFUL.

THE ELECTRIC TOP NEVER WORKED SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MOTOR ON THE TOP. IT STILL CATCHES WHEN I GO TO TAKE IT DOWN. IT ALSO CATCHES SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT IT UP. I TOOK IT IN SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS ALWAYS TOLD THE SAME THING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT MAZDA TO NO AVAIL. HERE IT IS 2016 AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. VERY FRUSTRATING. THEY WORE ME OUT BEFORE I WORE THEM OUT. IT HAS NEVER WORKED FROM THE BEGINNING, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT CATCHES.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT SHOWS CODE 22 ON INTERMITTENT BASIS NOT REPEATED DURING MULTIPLE DEALER VISITS. CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEMS, SUCH AS AIRBAGS, MUST BE MADE TO BE RELIABLE. DEALER INDICATES MAZDA DOES NOT COVER PARTS OR LABOR TO REPAIR, OR PROVIDE ASSURANCE THAT OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE SRS WILL NOT NEED REPAIR ALSO. 20.000 TO 45,000 MILES ON ODOMETER SINCE THIS FIRST AROSE. IGNITION SWITCH FUNCTION ALSO A POTENTIAL CAUSE FOR WARNING LIGHT TO TRIGGER.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, DYER MAZDA IN VERO BEACH, FL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE AIRBAG MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THEY SAID I NEEDED A PASSENGER WEIGHT SENSOR, A PASSENGER SEAT TRACK ADJUSTER, AND AN SAS UNIT. APPROXIMATELY $2,000 JUST FOR THE PARTS. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, MAZDA, AND AFTER REVIEW, THE MANUFACTURER CONCURRED THAT THE AIRBAG MAY OR MAY NOT DEPLOY UNLESS THESE 3 PARTS WERE REPLACED. MAZDA AGREED TO PAY FOR THE LABOR ONLY, $650, BUT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $2,000 IN PARTS. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, ONLY 11,752 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS NEVER ANY DAMAGE TO THE PARTS - IMPACT, WATER OR OTHERWISE. SINCE ALL 3 PARTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE AIRBAG TO WORK PROPERLY, I FEEL MAZDA SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THE PARTS - NOT JUST THE LABOR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. MAZDA OEM PARTS ARE ONLY WARRANTED FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12000 MILES. SINCE THESE PARTS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SAFETY OF THE CA

I FIRST NOTICED THE FLOOR UNDER MY DRIVERS SEAT IN THE BACK WAS SOAKED. I TOOK IT TO A MAZDA DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM WAS PROBABLY BACKED UP WITH DEBRIS CAUSING THE WATER TO BACK UP INSIDE THE CAR AND IT WOULD COST APPROX. $700.00. IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN WHEN MY CAR WAS EXPOSED TO HEAVY RAIN. ALSO WHENEVER I WENT TO A CAR WASH. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE AND I CAME HOME TO FIND THE INSIDE OF MY CAR FILLED WITH WATER IN THE BACK AND THE FRONT UNDER THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SEATS. THIS PROBLEM CAN LEAD TO A MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM IF NOT FIXED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE EVENTUALLY RUSTING WILL OCCUR UNDER THE CARPETING WHICH COULD BE A POTENTIAL DANGER TO ME AS THE DRIVER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH THIS RECURRING WATER PROBLEM. I HAVE ASKED AROUND AS TO HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD NO RESOLUTION WITH MAZDA. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS IS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE BUT MORE ONE OF A MANUFACTURING FLAW. WHEN I SPEND THOUSAND

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DISABLED DASH LIGHT REMAINS ON WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS PUSHED TO THE REAR WITH NO ONE IN THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT UNBUCKLED WARNING LIGHT IS ALSO LIT EVEN THOUGH NO ONE IS IN THE SEAT. BOTH LIGHTS TURN OFF WHEN THE EMPTY SEAT IS MOVED FORWARD. I AM UNSURE IF THE AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY IF NEEDED. A MAZDA DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD SEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE IN OTHER VEHICLES AND THERE ARE DISCUSSIONS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN OTHER CARS. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED MY CAR AND TOLD ME IT COULD BE ONE OF TWO PARTS BUT THEY COULD NOT BE SURE WHICH PART CAUSED THE PROBLEMS. ALL THEY COULD SUGGEST WAS REPLACING ONE PART AND THEN THE OTHER PART IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE PARTS ARE THE SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR ($1281.03) AND THE SEAT WEIGHT CONTROL ($523). THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND NOTHING HAS BEEN MODIFIED OR ALTERED ON THE AIRBAG OR SEAT BELT SYSTEM. THE PROBLEMS BEGAN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OFF NOW WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER U

APPROXIMATELY, ONE MONTH AGO, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE WATER ACCUMULATION ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED EVERY TIME THERE WAS ANY KIND OF RAIN, AND I LEFT THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE. AFTER A PARTICULARLY HARD RAIN ON FEBRUARY 17, 2012 IN MY AREA, THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY A 6 INCH ACCUMULATION OF WATER IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY VEHICLE.I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MAZDA DEALER. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO ROGER BEASLEY MAZDA, 6825 BURNET RD, AUSTIN, TX 78752 AND SPOKE WITH THEIR LEAD SERVICE TECHNICIAN. HE LOOKED AT THE WATER INSIDE MY CAR AND TOLD ME " I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM TOO MANY TIMES AND THE PROBLEM IS WITH DRAIN HOLES ON EACH SIDE OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP THAT GET CLOGGED WITH DEBRIS". I ASKED HOW DEBRIS GOT INTO THE DRAINS, AND HE SAID IT WAS LEAVES, AND OTHER DEBRIS FROM RAIN. INSTEAD OF THIS DEBRIS FILTERING OFF THE VEHICLE, THE DEBRIS ACCUMULATES IN THE DRAINS AND CAUSES THEM TO CLOG, AND THEN REVERTS THE EXCESS WATER TO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE

BOTH SUN VISORS HAVE CRACKED AND DO NOT STAY UP IN PLACE. THEY FALL DOWN WHILE DRIVING CAUSING YOU TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AND WAS TOLD THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MANY OF THE OWNERS WITH THIS VEHICLE. I ALSO CALLED MAZDA'S HEADQUARTERS IN CA, AND WAS TOLD THAT A RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED AND THAT I SHOULD REPORT THIS TO YOUR AGENCY. *KB

I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA MIATA. THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR MAT HAS RINGED HOLES FOR FLOOR MOUNTED HOLDING PINS, HOWEVER, NO SUCH PINS WERE INSTALLED IN MY CAR. I JERRY-RIGGED TWO HOLDING LINKS FROM A COAT HANGER BETWEEN THE FLOOR MAT HOLES TO THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF MY SEAT. I CONTACTED MAZDA USA AND ALL THEY SAID IS NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE ON MY MODEL. THEY DIDN'T ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE MY PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO THE TOYOTA RECALL AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM PROPERLY. *TR
