Mazda 6

"The display screen will suddenly go black/blank; at the same time, the clock will become unreadable. This appears to be tied to an electrical problem (perhaps a short) associated with exterior light controls"

"GPS is very frustrating and not user friendly and when i use my phone gps I have to turn off my bluetooth on my phone"

"Very poorly designed "infotainment" system, difficulties pairing and working with iPhone6, dysfunctional USB Player (Mazda has a TSB on Bluetooth module replacement). UnUSble navigation system, surprisingly worse than my 3 year old portable Garmin G"

"The system is archaic. Poor functionality. Slow to boot up. Ipod function must fully download every time car starts - very slow. Does not sync properly with iPhone...not all functions work VERY DISAPPOINTED with Mazda for sub-standard system"

"despite claims in the sales brochure and the owners manual, the infotainment system is unable to interface with the music in an iPod, iPhone 4, iPhone 5 or iPodNano. Mazda alternates between telling me it's an Apple Problem (All of these devices wor"

"intermittent trouble connecting Pandora from my Android phone"

"the gps has never worked at all and per the dealer they can't fix it."

"The Tom Tom Navigation system does not perform all of the actions stated it would in the Mazda literature. Has been in service department numerous times"

"Very poorly designed "infotainment" system, difficulties pairing and working with iPhone6, dysfunctional USB Player (Mazda has a TSB on Bluetooth module replacement). UnUSble navigation system, surprisingly worse than my 3 year old portable Garmin G"

"Inaccurate moving map display"

"It stopped working"

"The TomTom GPS auto-scales the map to a useless size, it takes a half dozen menu prompts to get anything done, it presents a lawyerly )it's your fault not ours" disclaimer that must be acknowledged every time the car is started, and it has an un-avoi"

"Needs update (or more) to GPS system, but cost to repair is outrageous; I'll just use my smartphone for directions/maps."

"It is very difficult to input destination info. Typing in does not work so must use voice input. That can also be challenging"

"Bluetooth switches on and off during phone conversations while driving without warning intermittently. So person I'm talking to will go back and forth between bluetooth and phone."

"Bluetooth module failed. This module is integrated with external USB connection. Replaced under warranty by dealer"

"Issues with system connecting then dropping to phone, then reconnecting over and over"

"Sometimes when I try to make a call while driving the phone pairing shows it is not paired. That is the only phone I use in that car"

"SMS (TXT message) features do not work well, or at all"

"I can't pair my phone with the car without uploading all of my contacts into the system. That's clearly not a good idea (see my previous comment about Mazda paying no attention to their firmware and never updating it) so I can't use this feature."

"Not sensitive enough to pick up even local stations"

"During routine servicing, Mazda dealership's service center refused to update software for nav system traffic and phone/bluetooth problems without charging for it, even though the problems have been in the car since I bought the car."

"The keyless entry system is unsafe. The firmware does not allow the user to disable it. The software is never updated and Mazda has laughed at me when I asked whether they would ever update it."

"Subwoofer in passenger door went bad."

"poor quality sound"

"There is at least one speaker that will come in and go out. Perhaps this is also tied to the electrical problem associated with the control panel and the exterior light controls"

"Passenger door speaker blew, but not sure how or why. The cost of a replacement speaker was exorbitant, but I could not repair/replace myself and I'm pretty handy with electronics. One hour repair at dealer."

"Back speakers produced very little sound. They are called 'Twiddlers' Two front speakers had to be replaced."

"factory recall"

"warranty recall"

"Factory recall"

"The parking brake stopped holding the car without pulling on it really hard. At one point the car almost rolled down my driveway because of the issue. Eventually the rear caliper seized. There was a recall related to this issue. Mazda fixed it."

"Parking brake didn't work right because rear calipers failed"

"Brake Linings down to 2mm. Rotor also required replacement."

"Replace pads and rotors every 15000 miles"

"All four brake pads and rotors had to be replaced at 50,000 miles."

"needed front brakes at 24k miles, last car went 80k. same driver and routes for both cars"

"Complete replacement of pads and rotors required at 35,000 miles at a cost of approximately $1,200"

"Repeatedly taken to service and correct the vibrating brakes, always to the dealer. Each time the rotors were ground to correct warping. Finally replaced the brakes this year (at my cost), but not by the dealer. No issues since they were replaced."

"Due to the rotors warping prematurely, the braking experience has been less than satisfying and somewhat expensive to fix. The warped rotors make the steering shake and the car pulse when stopping. Poor rotor design that Mazda hasn't addressed."

"Had to have the rotors turned twice in 50,000 miles, and replaced the front pads before they were worn our due to concern for additional uneven wear"

"My car only has 51000 miles and I've had to have my front rotors turned once at 24000 and then had to replace them a month ago at 50000. Mazda knows they warp with regular braking earlier than they should and the replacement rotors to my knowledge haven't been re-engineered according to the dealer."

"They keep warping, causing vibration on stopping"

"anchor for the cargo net was not properly installed at the factory. It was loose and would not secure the cargo net"

"Factory Recall on sharp metal driver side door sill"

"Center console lid repeatedly comes loose and needs to be fixed by dealer."

"Paint has started cracking and chipping, I notice more missing paint spots every day."

"the paint on the front grill was chipping off"

"poor exterior paint,subject to staining and fading, engine noisy when idle. brakes sometimes noisy when stopping,"

"Paint is very thin. Swirl marks (appearing almost out of nowhere), easily stained finish. Body very susceptible to rock chips. Issues result from a combination of a weak clear coat finish, car aerodynamics that seem to result in rock chips in visible"

"Wheels had issue with the finish and were replaced under warranty."

"The paint on the wheels was peeling"

"Wheel rims paint peeling"
