Description of the problem | 2016 mazda 6 had a sunroof that exploded on jan 11, 2017 while driving. It sounded like a gunshot and i almost wrecked. It exploded upward and out of the vehicle although we had a lot of glass that rained back in on us and the inside of her car. The vehicle was only 8 months old. Mazda replaced the sunroof out of "good will" (as they put it) her vehicle is not the first vehicle to do this - google it! They are refusing to repair the leather seats that the glass got embedded in and ripped and are refusing to fix the paint where the glass flew out and took a chunk of paint off the roof and the trunk of the vehicle. We have been trying to work through this with them since january. I have been on the phone with corporate mazda who in turn have been trying to get passport mazda on the phone for 2 weeks to get their side of the story. The have not made a connection with corporate in over two weeks. Isn't that like ignoring your boss? Besides the fact that mazda will not stand behind their product and quality one of my daughter first "adult purchases" has not turned out to be a disheartening experience. They have not heard the last from us as we stand up for what is right! Do not purchase a mazda as their customer service is less then satisfactory and we purchased not one but two mazda's on the same day! -- |
