general problems of the 2006 Mazda MAZDA5

The contact owns a 2006 Mazda Mazda5. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the rear driver side sliding door opened independently without warning. The contact merged to the shoulder of the road and after inspecting the vehicle, she discovered that the latch was fractured. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 06v463000 (latches/locks/linkages). The failure mileage was 70,000.

1. Purchase vehicle used in 2009 with 170,000 kms 2. Since day one, have had issues with door latches / lock and unlock - happens on random occassions and especially in cold/ wet or humid conditions. On several occassions I have been unable to lock / unlock the rear passenger doors using the keyfob or the interior vehicle switches, (I have to unlock/lock the rear vehicle doors manually). 2. Today for the first time, the rear passenger door flew open (while driving) as it did not latched closed. The right side rear sliding door still will not latch closed. . . . . . Thought it was frozen, but dealer says no - not frozen - it's a faulty part / switch causing issue. 3. Asked dealer about recall info - they told me that the recall service for that door latch problem has already been performed on my vehicle by the previous owner. . . . . Therefore, this issue will be my problem to pay for (out of warranty). 3. Intermitent electrical issues with this vehicle. Dashboard lights flicker at times. Gas door pops open for no reason, and at time will not stay closed or will not open. 4. Uneven tire wear. Have owned the vehicle for 9 months and the tires are already bald on the insides only. Vehicle feels like it has a vibration or suspension problem since day one, but the dealer claims nothing is wrong, no problem and alignment is fine? they blaim it on my tires or my driving. But, I have read several postings about these same issues.
