The dashboard on the passenger side of my vehicle is melting and is very sticky all the time.
I just recently got this car. I am making payments on it. I noticed my dashboard melting and now its so bad that there is a glare in the middle of windshield. I cant see through it at times. And the material from the dashboard is melting now in drip lines down the dash. It is ugly and is ruining anything that touches it. Kids try to dig holes in the dashboard and I'm scared that they might try to consume the goo that comes off the melting spot. My lawyer has informed me to file a complaint. I need a replacement dashboard as soon as possible. Please help.
Dashboard is melting vehicle is always parked under cover and out of direct sunlight. Manufacturers not acknowledging as a defect.
The entire passenger side dashboard is gooey, sticky black. If you touch it gets all over your hands, and everything will stick to it. It appears to be melting away. This started a few years ago. Recently I noticed the rear headlights look as if they are warped from the inside, as if it was a melted candle.
My 2009 mazda 6 also has a melting dashboard, causing a glare on the windshield.
My front dashboard is melting. The dashboard is sticky to the touch and very shiny and reflects the suns glare.
I see several complaints about a melting dashboard. The dashboard, especially on the passenger side has a softish material that almost melts when parked in outdoor under sun even for few minutes. In such a condition if I touch this part of dashboard it crumbles into pieces. It is almost impossible to always park under roof and this material used seems to be of very low quality. Cost of fixing is unknown.
The passenger side of my dashboard is melting. It is only occurring on the section closest to the window and for about 12 inches. I have tried to keep the windows open, use heat barriers/shields etc. It is even wet and gooey when the AC is on and I am driving. I have read that the plastics etc that are used in vehicles can emit cancerous odors/vapors/etc when they overheat. Can this issue please be investigated as after reading the complaints this is a robust problem that can affect the safety of many people!
The dashboard of my mazda is melting. The dashboard is shiny and sticky with a terrible glare. It looks like it is wet, but it is really gooey. I am worried the airbags may deploy prematurely or not at all. The damage to the dashboard is getting worse. I feel this is inferior workmanship and or materials and should be placed under recall.
My dash is melting on the passenger side. It's about a 10 inch section. It sticky and soft. It rubs off when touched. I've done some research and it appears there are a lot of people experiencing the same thing. I'm sure they will claim it's the armour all but I used that stuff very rarely and if it was something I have applied, it would be melting all over. It has to be a defect on mazdas part. I did email them but haven't heard back yet.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 mazda a6. The contact stated that the dash board was melting. The manufacturer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000 and the current 75,000.
I purchased the car at delray mazda in 2011. I immediately purchased a dashmat to protect the dashboard from cracking or fading. I saw a segment on the news about other owners of mazda, nissan and etc. That has a cracking, sticky dashboard as well. I was advised to contact you. My dashboard is sticky underneath the dashmat and in the area of just above the glovebox, the dash is falling off in clumps. It is a black cushiony material that is falling apart and also cracking where the dashmat doesn't reach. The dash is also very sticky as well. I will contact the dealership and mazda but would like this resolved.
Melting dashboard on my mazda 6. I'm very unhappy about this. A recall needs to be made.
The rod to the door handle inside the front passenger door fell in due to the recall that happened back in december 2013. The recall only replaced screws on the part that was still in the door. It did not cover the part that fell in because the screws fell out that hold the piece in. The door will not open from the outside without the rod attached. This is due to the first recall. We had no idea the screws fell out until the door would not open from the outside and we examined it. It should of been part of the original recall. This could create a situation where if there is an accident or issue and the passenger is not aware of what is going no one from the outside would be able to open the door to get them help or get them out. This should be a new recall. This should of been covered in the original recall and paid for by mazda to fix.
Driver side front door would not latch, inspected to find all three door latch mounting screw were missing, and the door latch was falling down inside the door. Very dangerous, and I was stranded in a parking lot with a driver door that could not be latched.
Driver side front door would not latch upon entry to the vehicle. Inspection showed that all 4 screws were missing from the latch mechanism. Inspection of the other 3 doors showed that up to 3 of the 4 screws were missing from them. Every door had at least 1 missing screw.
Front drivers side would not close. Upon checking all the screws holding the latch were missing.
When I tried to get into my car the door got stuck and only open about 2 inches. When I finally opened it and got in the car the door would not close. When I checked it I realized that all 3 screws were missing and the door latch had shifted.
While driving on highway at 55 MPH the passenger door opened . Passenger didn't fall out due to seat belt. Found that three screws fell out of door latch. Replaced screws, now door can not be opened from outside.
2009 mazda 6. Consumer writes regarding outer door handle voluntary safety recall 5209a *tgw the consumer stated the dashboard indicator light illuminated indicating that one of the doors was still open while the vehicle was in motion. Despite checking to make sure all the doors were securely closed, the light continued to stay on, until the consumer stopped and turned off the engine.

The button was non-responsive and symptoms only worsened as time went by.

When the consumer went back to the dealer, he was informed, his VIN was not included.
I have a 2009 mazda 6 s touring with 18000 miles on it and the three screws that hold the drivers door latch assembly on came loose and fell out. These screws should of been locked tightened in place and it seems that all the latch screws on the car were not secured not to work loose. *tr. ..updated 04/18/13
2009 mazda isport has gone through two complete sets of brakes, rotors, and pads and it only has 22,000 miles on it. The brake pedal is very inconsistent when applied. Sometimes it goes all the way to the floor and sometimes it only travels a small distance. It's much worse when the dsc is engaged.
