1 Mid/rear Seats Assembly problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2016

Rear seat latches failed when the vehicle brakes. Seats will unlatch when the vehicle brakes, rendering the back seat unable to be used for safety concerns. Edmunds. Com included a comment about the rear seat latch failing in their review of the Mazda Cx-5 2013. Mazda service has included their need for replacement on the attached invoice. I have not repaired the latches yet because I believe they are a defective device and I do not want them replaced with a part that may fail when a passenger is riding in the rear seat.

2 Mid/rear Seats Assembly problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2015

The drivers seat reclines without anyone pressing button while the car is parked. This has happened irregularly for years. I have a car seat in the back seat and this shifts the car seat which becomes a safety hazard. This is a known issue and Mazda refuses to acknowledge and correct it. It has nothing to do with mileage on the car. It was always a glitch in how it was made. They said the only way to get it fixed is to have the problem diagnosed at the dealer first. I know they are aware but do not want to pay until the recall is official and they have to. Please help us keep our kiddos safe!.
