| The interior lights around the air conditioner controls were not on, thought it was a short or a blown fuse, planned on checking once returning home that night. however was pulled over by local police dept and told i didn't have any tail lights. checked all fuses right then, all fuses were good. drove home with emergency flashers on to avoid being hit. took the car to the mechanic the next day they checked all fuses and found the fuses were good but found the rear tail lights had blown. two weeks later the same thing, no lights around air conditioner controls so i immediately got out of the car and discovered no tail lights. took car back to same mechanic and upon researching he found that this model has problems with the passenger junction box (fuse box) having shorts. will have to replace the entire junction box and the replacement box is approximately $800. with this being a known problem there should be a recall to replace all passenger junction boxes! i could have had an accident from not having tail lights and not knowing it!!!!! | |||

| Electrical system failure vehicle, mazda 3 manual, was returned to dealer after airbag recall maintenance was performed. vehicle's electrical system suffered from many complaints. service dealership stated that a loose ground wire at one of the fuse panels was the fault. vehicle's electrical system ran as promised for months until both low-beam headlamps blew at the same time. the dealership has been notified and action will take place. i have experienced several electrical faults in the vehicle and assume many more are to come. safety was severely compromised. no headlamps at night in a construction zone is very much a problem. *jb | |||

| My 2004 mazda 3 often stalls while i'm driving on the freeway, i took it to dealer and they are not able to re-create the problem and they won't fix it. i think mazda corporation has to do something about it cause it is a known issue to many mazda 3 out there and it always scare me whenever my car stalls on the freeway as it is very dangerous. *tr | |||
