The headlights on this vehicle are completely inadequate for night driving. They do not project any where near enough light to see in unlit areas where you cannot use high beams. The light is yellow no matter what bulb you use and does not project down road at all.
Exterior headlight assembly gets cracked due to poor construction and whole assembly requires replacing in lieu of simply replacing the headlamp. This is quite pricey at approx $700 each for both driver's side and passenger side respectively.
I was driving down the road at night and headlight on passenger side went out due to condensation see sb-09-003-13 Mazda is fully aware of this issue and refuse to do anything about it. I ordered oem parts at a cost of $1400 from Mazda and had them installed at certified body shop and within two weeks light blew out again, had to replace just the bulb this time, they said they couldn't cover this cost because a Mazda dealer didn't install light. Mazda said the only way they would do anything is if there was a safety recall. What does a recall consist of when you are driving down the road at night and both headlights go out at the same time and have an accident or hit someone else head on causing fatalities. This is about as unsafe as anything I can think of. Again I reference sb-09-003-13. I hate to know there might be fatalities with this problem and everyone ignores it. I told Mazda I would do everything in my power to try and make them responsible for this defect, I guess they have no concern for human life, this is why I am filing this complaint. Just think of all the lawsuits that will happen and the monetary cost involved when this does happen and I think it will since it has already happened once, also lose of life, I don't think there is a price to put on this. Thank you for your time.
