Description of the problem | The drivers side door will not unlock. This is an apparently known issue with mazda as several people have talked about in club sites and there are even videos on this issue on youtube. The fact of the matter is this is a very serious safety issue because if you cannot exit a vehicle quickly after an accident or fire people could die. Someone already mentioned this issue back in 2010 and from how i read his information nothing has been done. Please investigate this issue with these doors not being about to unlock and open. |
