Mazda 6

"Normally occurs after starting the car. Display screen goes blank"

"Two problems: 1. Had the display screen freeze. Appeared to be fixed by software update by dealer. 2. Heads-up display for digital speedometer occasionally fails to rise. Dealer has been unable to fix this problem"

"In addition to the backup camera display problem, the screen itself sometimes locks up for no apparent reason. If I turn the car off and leave it off for awhile, the problem goes away. It's probably a software glitch"

"The display occasionally freezes up for an unknown reason rendering many features, most importantly the back-up camera, useless. The dealer has been unable to fix this. There is no reset button and I have to shut off the ignition for about 20 minutes to resolve the problem when I restart the car. I suspect a software bug."

"Please see prior description of problem with music interface."

"The display screen would not show anything. No radio, back-up, or any of the other features, ie radio navigation, direction etc."

"Screen goes blank while driving in cold weather."

"Pandora buffers. Did not do this when new."

"Bluetooth system pairs phone (I phone 7S) well and phone features work well but rarely if ever have I been able to play music using the phone and bluetooth. However the phone plays music well using the plug in aux, but often the screen will freeze and have to reboot. I tried rebooting the entire system which did advised by Mazda to do which did not work. Mazda recommended having the system flashed with an update, but have not had a chance to do so, mainly because the dealership that sold me the car is no longer an authorized service/warranty dealer for Mazda."

"The screen looked like it was cracked, causing spider web looking crack across the screen. The "cracks" were internal, and the dealership confirm it was not operator error, or damage by us. They said it was a known problem. It took me writing to Mazda to get the dealership to replace the screen free of charged. Which the dealership eventually did after about two months of calls and letter writing."

"Stop working. Stuck on Texas address we live in Maryland"

"Notwithstanding that the maps are updated (supposedly) by the dealer when I bring the car in for oil changes, etc., the directions are often faulty (e.g., get off at highway exits that have been closed for years and long routes through side streets even though the faster highway option was selected).)"

"Seems like when they update the Navigation system, you have to go to dealer to make it compatible again."

"does not accept destination inputs as it should"

"Frequently goes way off course. Also, says it must recalculate route when we are on the correct route."

"Bluetooth cuts out when using Pandora despite updates on phone and to system by dealer"

"repeated problems with Bluetooth pairing requiring system resets - hassle because it means reprogramming radio each time"

"Favorite radio stations keep getting wiped out"

"lost all of my preset channels-a new chip had to be installed"

"after warranty ends they want to charge for standard updates which is something that should be free since it can't update by itself"

"My car came with BOSE premium sound system. The front speakers started to create a rattling sound. I have researched service bulletins online and determined the issue. I removed the door panels and removed the speakers, fixed the issue with glue and remounted it. The problem resolved."

"Audio from speakers is poor quality, likely defective"

"When I using adaptive cruise control, increasing speed button doesn't work. Even off and on again it didn't work."

"Really long waits from the moment you press the voice control button until the computer asks for your request. Audio often cuts off randomly."

"Car is white. Have several black spots on the front bumper after only 66,666 km with nearly all driving on city streets or highways. Very evident when spots show black on a white car."

"leatherette in steering wheel faded"

"The coating of paint is thin. A rock or other object hitting the vehicle will result in paint being removed to the metal. The rims were painted with a graphite which has peeled and flaked off"

"Flaking on hood"

"The paint on all four wheels started to peel The Dealer needed to have them completely refinished"

"Chipping and peeling in areas not under any traffic stress. The wheel rims are all cracking and peeling off"

"The gun metal coating on the wheel rims has chipped and peeled at about 90K miles"

"The finish on the wheels was peeling off. The wheels were replaced under warranty."

"Small paint chips, especially on the front of the car, reveal black spots which are conspicuous as the car is painted white. I find an inordinate amount of small paint chips on the front."

"Paint is very thin and soft. Easily marked up, easy to scratch. Much poorer quality paint than my last Mazda 6"

"My black wheels all peeled"

"Clear coat on all four wheels peeled off. Wheels were replaced by Mazda at no cost."

"The finish on all the wheels started peeling. All four wheels were replaced under warranty."

"Problem is an issue with the coating on rims"

"The only problem was with the paint on the wheels. It is a dark gray paint that was severely peeling. Mazda said the 2016 Mazda 6 vehicles had defective paint for that year. They replaced all my wheels under the warranty."

"Paint is too weak."

"clear coat chips off the wheels. It was covered under a recall. I've had two sets put on"

"Parking brake is supposed to turn off when you put the car in drive and hit the gas but sometimes it doesn't work. I just stopped using it because my girlfriend would always forget to turn it off manually."

"Brake linings should have lasted longer."

"Rear brakes showed premature wear on the pads, requiring rotor replacement along with new pads. This occurred roughly three years after purchase. In contrast, the front brakes are still within their serviceable lifespan. Brakes were repaired with no further issues in the time since."

"Replaed front brakes with less than 24K"

"Both front and rear pads were replaced due to uneven wear on separate occasions"

"brakes wore out at 20000 miles. front brakes."

"Warped rotor. Annoying. Expensive. May have be last year."

"expense for replacement during brake job"

"The pads wore out & were replaced. The rotors haven't been replaced yet."

"After last winter, one or both caliper pins for the rear wheel calipers were frozen inside the caliper boots. This has caused slight grooves on the rear rotors and premature wear. The front rotors are fine and have no grooves"

"Front rotors warped and were repaired."
