ELECTRICAL SYSTEM — Filed 07/29/2024

A recall notice dated July 14, 2023 stated improper design of rearview camera wiring harness fastener. The fastener may become damaged from vibrations during normal vehicle use and/or while closing the lift gate. I have been told by the dealership that they do not have the parts to remedy the issue and don't know when they will have the parts. It appears that the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall in a timely manner since more than a year has passed since the recall notice was issued and they are unable to predict when the parts will be available. Recall Status: "Recall Incomplete, remedy not yet available" Manufacturer Recall Number: 6023G. NHTSA Recall Number: 23V-487.

STEERING,STRUCTURE,WHEELS — Filed 12/07/2023

Dec 7, 2023, I was driving on [XXX] in Gaston County and someone slammed my vehicle as I was driving safely and not fast. I was in the middle lane and barely saw the vehicle that slammed me pushing me to the left of the interstate. Officer Talley, J was there to help me: The report number is [XXX]. The vehicle was totally damaged and I am waiting for Progressive to complete the claim so I can get another vehicle. I am currently renting a vehicle from Enterprise for 28 days.

Sunroof shattered randomly while driving. (No objects hit the glass.) If my visor had been open the glass would have exploded down on me while driving potentially leading to an accident. Dealer said it was likely a pressure change and although rare does happen. No prior sign of cracks or dents. Currently waiting to hear back from insurance as dealer will not replace.

No incidents. No one hurt. Just my AC broke and I think it was defective because: - I had a low milage: 17000 miles. - No accidents - No driving on a highway Why would otherwise AC condenser start leaking? There was a recall on Mazda CX-3 of 2015-2016 models. I suspect the problem was not fixed and my Mazda CX-3 2019 had the same problem.

STEERING — Filed 10/01/2022

Steering wheel gives resistance to movement, both left and right. This creates a safety hazard from oversteering.
