I purchased my 2003 Mazda6 in June of 2003. Since then it has been in the shop for mutiple problems. Several recalls of course, but the first major problem came when the car was about 1 year old and my radiator seam at the bottom seperated. They replaced the radiator. When I picked the car up my air conditioning was not working, so I returned the car and the problem was fixed at that time. April of 2005, my car only had about 19,000 miles on it my air conditioning started blowing hot air. I took it to the dealer and the stated that my freon was low and charged it up. I asked how that could be with a car as new as this one and they stated, it was normal. For a car that is less than 2 years old?? last week, August of 2005, once again my air is blowing hot,particulaly when sitting in an idle position,works better upon accleration. I took it to the dealer and they stated the control fan module was bad and replaced it,which by the way had already been replaced with a recall. As of augusst 22, 2005 my air is still not working properly. We went on a short trip and were stuck in a traffic jam. Once again the air would not blow cold while we were sitting. I know this is not right because when we first got the car, the air worked great. I am really frustrated with this car,I just keep waiting for the next thing to go wrong. I have also had to replace my braked pads and had the left front rotor turned. I think Mazda owes us all of us that have purchased these cars and had major problems a big apology . And should replace these vehicles, which I know will never happen.
