2016 Mazda MAZDA3: check engine light

Filed Sep 8, 2021 · Electrical · NY

The infotainment system fails to work - it is where I can access information re: maintenance schedule, or any info that is associated with a lit engine light. In addition the charging system for my mobile phone has ceased working. This includes both the usb ports and the lighter port which can be adapted with a charger that works in that receptable. These are all safety issues as far as I am concerned. Not having information related to the vehicle engine light is a big issue, but so is the fact that I can't charge my phone on long distance drives. If I needed assistance, I would be unable to contact anyone without a working cell phone. Because the display also controls the ability to pair a phone with blue tooth, there is concern for other drivers of the Mazda 3 (mine is a 2016) will be using the phone regardless of the bluetooth malfunction. I have seen a safety recall on other Mazda's with relation to the infotainment screen, but I do not see one here. I wonder why? To repair this crucial component would cost many hundreds of dollars -- something I am not in a position to do. Mazda claims this infotainment center is not under warranty, but with so much important information and safety features embedded into it, I think it should be corrected by recall. Thank you for investigating this issue. Regina

While driving the car went into a complete stall. It continued to roll and the check check engine line, tire pressure, power steering light, traction control, key not present. The car didn't start right back up. The key had to be put to the start button before the car restarted. We immediately pulled off the road and parked. We left the vehicle and 2 hours later we restarted the car to determine if it needed towed. It started but the check engine light remained on at that time. Drove the car home and left it parked until we drove it to the dealership were they did diagnostics and couldn't duplicate the issue. We were sent home. Now we are not driving the car due to fear of random stall. There was a recall of madza 3 2016 but my car was not included. The info as follows the federal safety agency campaign: 15v621000, the federal safety agency campaign: 16v685000, the federal safety agency campaign: 16v684000. The dealership has not done anything at this time.
