I own a 2004 mazda 6 sports sedan which still has a factory warranty. My wife & I are having electrical issues with the car which is causing a 15 amp fuse to keep blowing. This fuse controls the horn, brake lights, turn signals, & cruise control. We have taken this car to the dealership for the same problem 3 times now & all they seem to do is replace the fuse with a new one & send us on our way with no explanation of why it is blowing. They advise me that they have tested all electrical systems & can't find any problems. I have a huge problem with this occurring because my wife & I have no way of knowing this fuse is blown until we exit the vehicle & attempt to arm the alarm & hear no horn, or someone lets us know our break lights & turn signals are not working. Not to mention this is a major safety hazard driving in stop & go traffic! The car gives no warning what so ever & if someone hits the vehicle in the rear due to no brake lights I do not feel obligated to file an insurance claim on the other driver.....mazda corporation should be totally liable for any accident that may occur due to this defect!

Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle intermittently will not start. The vehicle often starts if the key is turned to the start position and held there for over a minute. The vehicle was taken to the local dealership numerous times for inspection. The dealer replaced the fuel pump; however that did not remedy the problem. The consumer also stated the entire vehicle vibrated while driving. Updated 02/07/06.
Originally, 5 months ago, I noticed a problem with my 2004 mazda 6i at when stopped at a red light. I noticed the cars idle pick up and the dashboard display flickered. The problem went away and the car was fine. A week later, I was driving on the freeway and again the dashboard started flickering and the car would not accelerate and hesistated to stay at a consistent speed. This was highly dangerous as I could not keep up with the flow of traffic and could have easily caused an accident. The problem ceased in a span of 2 minutes and the car was fine. I immediately scheduled an appointment at my local mazda service center and after two days of investigating, they could not find the problem, therefore they could not fix the problem. The problem actually never occured again until a few weeks ago. I was driving home and I noticed some hesitency in acceleration and as I pulled in my garage, the car flat out stalled. I took the car out on roads that were not busy and the problem did not happen again. Then last night as I was pulling in on, the exact problem that happened previously happened again and my car stalled after entering my garage. I am some what fearful of driving my car on the freeway with the thought it could stall out.
