What 129 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Mazda Mazda3 Sedan

MY SPOUSE WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD SOUND. HE SCANNED THE SURROUNDINGS AND DID NOT SEE ANY UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE. HE FELT COLD AIR AND NOISE AND WHEN HE LOOK UP, HIS SUNROOF IS GONE, JUST A FEW GLASS LEFT ON THE SIDE LOOKING LIKE GRANULES. HE HAD SPONTANEOUS SUNROOF EXPLOSION.

I HAVE FILED THIS CLAIM BECAUSE THE CAR IN MENTION HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY MAZDA FOR FAILURES IN THE DOOR LATCHING-LOCKING SYSTEM ON THREE (3) SEPARATE OCCASIONS ON DIFFERENT DOORS SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND IT IS CURRENTLY SHOWING SIGNS OF FAILURE ON ONE OF THE DOORS THAT WAS NOT AFFECTED BEFORE. I NO LONGER CONSIDER THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT FAILURES OF THIS NATURE MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS WITH CATASTROPHIC INJURIES TO THE DRIVER AND TO OTHERS. AS A MAZDA CUSTOMER, CAR OWNER AND ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL, I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED WHEN I CONTEMPLATE THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS MIGHT NOT BE AN ISOLATED CASE AND THAT OTHER MAZDA OWNERS MIGHT BE DRIVING UNSAFE VEHICLES. I HAVE ALSO STARTED A CLAIM WITH THE BBB AUTO LINE CASE MAZ1714424 WHERE I PURSUE REPURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE BY MAZDA AMONG OTHER ITEMS.
