I was driving my 2012 Mazda 3 skyactiv and a couple spiders came out of nowhere almost causing me to crash. I know, stupid. I was able to identify the spiders as the same spider that Mazda had already recalled for other model years, yet did not for ours. I'm a little annoyed there are still spiders in there care and may cause fuel problems, and I don't believe I should have to pay to have them removed.

One two separate occasions over an approximate 3 month period the gas cap could not be unscrewed and remained affixed to the vehicle. I believe that this is a dangerous situation for the potential to be unable to refuel the vehicle and run out of gas while driving or in an unsafe location. Both times I took it to the dealer and they confirmed that they have had "many" Mazda 3 owners bring their cars in with the same problem. A search of the internet confirmed that this is a common problem.

I have a 2009 Mazda 3 with 9200 miles. Their have been instances where the check engine light illuminates indicating the gas cap is not secure. Today, 8/11/2010 the gas cap was stuck and had to take it to the dealer to get removed and install a new gas cap. The service man, jim coltrep said that he has heard about gas caps seizing. My daughter is the primary driver she doesn't need this problem. The dealer can't guarantee me that I won't have a problem in the near future. I see on the web a lot of complaints about the Mazda 3 gas cap problem. When is this going to be corrected on a near permanent basis?.

While driving slowly through a community center parking lot, the automobile suddenly accelerated and did not respond to braking,resulting in a crash into a brick wall.

2010 Mazda 3, 5 speed. Upon shifting from 4th gear into neutral, to prepare for a stop, foot was taken off of accelerator and clutch was fully released; the engine started to rev. This is the 3rd time this has happened in 90 days. Each time has been when the vehicle was shifted into neutral from a gear, not gear specific.

Mazda has not notified owners of problems.

After my first gas fuel fill-up the check engine light came on. I checked the fuel cap but was unable to remove the fuel cap. After trying for 15 minutes, it finally came off. After putting the cap back on and driving a while, the light went off. The car only had 500 miles. I took the car back to the dealer. The dealer examined the cap and said there was no problem. We were able to place and remove the cap with no problem. On my next 2 fill-ups the same thing happened. I bought a stand replacement cap and have had no problems after 6,200 miles. I believe the oem cap has a design flaw. The replacement's latching tabs have a different shape and it works.

Fuel cap on car got stuck and took ten minutes to remove. The same thing happened next time car needed refueling. Again, had to try for around 10 minutes before cap could be removed and we're not even sure what we did to make it come off. This is not acceptable. . . . . There will come a time when the cap breaks or we just can't get it off and will end up stranded with no gas. Obviously a design fault.

My wife sondra was stopped in our 2005 Mazda3 when she was struck from behind by an individual driving a 2001 malibu. The vehicle was doing approx. 30 mph when it stuck our car. Our car was then pushed into the vehicle stopped in front of her. My wife was injured and transported to the hospital, injuries were, 8 stitches to the bridge of the nose, back and neck injuries, she is under going therapy and is waiting for more test to be performed. The reason that I am contacting you is because of some of the concerns I have about the following safety that failed. 1. The drivers seatback broke during impact. 2. The airbag did not deploy when she struck the vehicle in the front of her. 3. The emergency switch that shuts down the fuel system did not activate. Our vehicle was totalled from all the damage, the car is valued at $ 18,700. 00. I emailed Mazda approx. 10 days ago about my concerns and still have not received a response.

In the month of March, I started to notice that in the first morning the car would hesitate to start. Contacted my local Mazda dealer in reno and notified them of the problem. Their response was that the problem had to do with nevada gas. On June 17th, while visiting las vegas, the cars engine stalled while in gear on the freeway, it took two attempts to restart the car. I returned to reno, and contacted an attorney and found that there were three major componets, that were all linked to the fuel system of the car. I contacted the Mazda dealership and still have no answers or solutions.
