2012 Mazda MAZDA6 lights problems

Filed Mar 11, 2020 · Lights · KS

My low headlight beams continue to burn out, especially the driver side. They were last replaced less than 2 weeks ago and the driver side is out again. I did a google search and there were multiple complaints of this happening to other people. What's worse is that for the low beams it has to be taken to a mazda dealership to be replaced. It's a safety hazard and expensive!

Headlight on driver side was burning out every other month needing replaced. Recently changed headlight and the bulb is fine but the adapter inside the assembly is burned and charred. Just went to change the passenger side and it has the same issue. Good bulb but the adapter to attach bulb is burned. Reading many complaints online about this being a common issue with 2012 mazda 6. Including issues of lights going out while people are driving and having to tap on the headlight to get it to turn on.

My low beam headlights keep burning out. I have lost count of how many times I have changed one out. Not only is this dangerous, it can get expensive. Then two weeks ago, a rear brake light blew. This is insane. I have complained to the dealership, but to no avail.

While driving at night on multiple occasions one or both headlights would just go out presenting a very dangerous safety issue. This has resulted in multiple headlight replacements, 7 times in 5 years. This problem has occurred on city, highway, and country roads. Present mechanical shop has no idea why since all electrical systems seem to be working properly. I have the receipts for the headlight replacements if you should need them. I had the headlights replaced in october of 2016 due to going out on a country road without streetlights forcing me to drive with the high beams on and then I had to replace them again in february 19th of 2017 for going out again now after only 1000 miles since february I had to replace the left headlight for going out today march 21st, 2017. Like I listed earlier this is the 7th time in 5 years.

Headlight bulbs go out often, have to bang on the light to get it to go back on, I can change bulbs and it will go a couple of months before it starts to go out again. Have to take the bumper off to change the light bulb so it is a hassle. After checking the internet I see there are a whole lot of mazda owners with the same problem

Seems there is a problem with the headlights.. I have replaced the bulbs 3 times they are burning out repeatedly...I drive with my high beams more often than the low beams... I have been pulled over 4 times for one of the low beams being out...this is a bit unfair..... I haven't ever in my life put so many bulbs into one car!! Apparently a lot of people are having this same issue why isn't something being done?? Obviously it's not something we caused.
