| I took my 2009 mazda6 touring edition in to get my first oil change. the car was in perfect condition with only 3,600 miles. when i returned later to pick up the car i was told that there was a safety recall for the door locks. i said okay so what now. the jim ellis service department said we will give you a loaner. i turned in the car on saturday i picked the car up on tuesday and drove it home. when i arrived at my house i tried to lock the door by pushing the button on the driver side. nothing happened so i tried a few more times. the only way to lock the door was with the key. i called the service department the next morning and they asked if i could bring the car back for them to take a look. i took the car back and they still could not figure out what was wrong. they again gave me a loaner car. thursday evening i was told the car was fixed. they said an engineer had looked at the car and it was fixed for sure. well guess what it is still not fixed. now they are telling me that the battery must have been run down because the doors were left open. thursday evening i am home with my loaner from jim ellis wondering if i will ever get my car back and if i do get it back will it really be fixed. *tr | |||

| I was driving with my ac on in my 2009 mazda 6 and the car began to overheat and the ac got hot. i had to pull over with my infant in the car into the nearest parking lot. the car was brought to mazda and they said that the cooling fan for the motor and the ac were faulty, but since the car was 4,000 miles over warranty, they would only give $200 toward the $907 job for their faulty part. i looked it up and there is a tsb for this part. nhsta item #10032548 . if there are many others having a problem with this faulty manufactured part on relatively new cars i believe there should be a recall. it was the hottest day of the summer here when the ac went and my car started to overheat with my 6 month old in the car. my car only has 40,000 miles on it. | |||
| ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING - EXHAUST SYSTEM | |||
| 12/23/2008 | 1 | ||
| My 2009 mazda 6 i touring at during driving at 20-25 mph or at 50-80 mph produces a sulfur emission from the air vents inside as well as from the exhaust pipes. this began when the odometer was just over 300 miles. even though this car requires regular unleaded octane rating 87 gas, octane rating 92 has been used as well as generic brands of gas. since switching back from octane 92 gas to regular unleaded octane 87 gas (as advised from the metro mazda dealership in ma) and from the generic to a more recognized brand of gas (mobile), the sulfur emission from the air vents has been greatly reduced to become a rare occurrence, but is still there, as recent as 10/22/09 on the highway with about 4200 miles on the odometer. the sulfur emission still comes out from the exhaust pipes and is most notable in the garage whether the car is running or not. the smell is still noticed when outside, running or not, and happens frequently, almost every time the car is shut off. whether distance in travel is short or long, the emission from both areas remains and has been ongoing since the first occurrence. *tr | |||
