1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2020

I purchased this vehicle for my 16 yr old daughter 1 yr ago. The car has a clean carfax and has had no accidents. Upon purchasing the car the headlights continue to burn out. Taking it to a Mazda dealership I learned the headlight assembly unit was melting. I had to purchase 2 used headlight assembly because new from the dealership are 1,000 a piece. 2 used but perfectly working headlights were installed and within a yr the headlights had burned out again. I went to change the bulbs only to learn the headlight assembly were once again burnt. I have to purchase 2 new headlight assembly again but the mechanic can not guarantee that this burning situation won't occur. After calling around to places to find headlight assembly I have come to find out many are burnt. This seems like a real problem considering you need headlights to drive at night. Spending 1,000 everytime my headlights burn out seems 100% unreasonable and the fact that there is cleary a wiring issue within the headlight assembly unit itself seems to be a problem. I have been on multiple forums and this is a common issue. Please fix the problem!!!!!!.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2019

Car system alarm goes off without notice. It will work fine for days then, the alarm will start to go off constantly. While driving at night, the interior car lights come on like a door is open. No indicator on control panel if door is open. Then turns off lights inside car. It scares you as you think a door came open.

3 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 06/16/2017

Car has 62,000 miles on it and lights have been replaced minimum 6 times since car bought with 28k miles. Access to bulbs requires mechanic to repair (getting up behind the wheel well) and cost can averages over $100 to replace. There is 88 NHTSA complaints on this same subject. What must we accomplished to hold Mazda accountable?.

4 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2013

I'm having problems with my head lights on my 2010 Mazda 6. My head lights went out in November 2013 and I've changed the head lights out three times since within a 2 year time frame. I'm using the expensive sylvania h7 silver star zxe head light bulbs and they're burning out. Also the seal around the head lights aren't secure because water and condensation has always been an issue with this car.

5 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2012

Just purchased an used 2010 Mazda 6 and the passenger low-beam headlamp is "out" until you give it a nice friendly tap. This at only 29,300 miles. Went out again 9 days later and the tap is not working. Went online and found this link with other owners having the same issue. . Read more...
