Headlights problems of the 2010 Mazda MAZDA6

Driver and passenger side headlights went out. It's not the fuse or the bulbs. This happened while driving at night forcing me to drive over two hours on back roads and freeway with my highbeams on to see.

Passenger side headlight went out. It's not the fuse not the bulb. This was while driving forcing me to drive with my highbeams on so I could see.

I bought a Mazda 6 3 days ago and I replaced the headlight bulb because it wasn't working. When I opened the compartment I noticed that the entire u it was melting and smelled very hot. I had no turned on the headlights at this point and I removed the bulb from the electrical unit. This could have easily caught on fire.

Headlight on both sides go out often. After having this issue far too many times, I looked online hoping to find a solution and discovered multiple Mazda owners are having same problem. Its a malfunction in the Mazda that needs to be fixed by Mazda. This is extremely dangerous at night to have happening way to often. As for the air bag- ive had my Mazda to a Mazda dealership for the recalls and the air bag was kne of them. Since then, twice now, the 'airbag/front seat belt pretensioner system malfunction' light is flashing while driving. I looked it up, and by the sounds of it, my airbag is malfunctioning?! another dangerous situation on the Mazda 6.

Right front headlamp repeatedly goes out and it's neither the bulb nor the fuse! subsequently stuck driving home with high beams (to see well enough to navigate safely) but fearful the glare creates a safety issue for opposing traffic - a twofer! note; banging on the side of headlamp assembly with closed fist 'sometimes' has it come back to life. Looked online and - surprise, surprise - there are lots of complaints about this same thing! sadly, I'm afraid someone's going to get killed and I just hope not to be involved. . Read more...

Low beam intermittently turns off. Sometimes a firm slap on the headlight is a temporary resolution. I initially thought it was the bulb itself, had it replaced but the problem continued. There are lots of youtube videos on this issue. Mazda keeps telling that this is not a safety issue and they refuse to do anything. If they want to do business in the USA, they need to be safe or they need to go back.

Low beam headlight lamps work inconsistently. They stopped working when vehicle was stationary and turned off. They worked when I last used car, but stopped working when I started the car the next day. This has happened multiple times over 3. 5 years of ownership, and may be more susceptible to cold weather. Several firm raps on the lens seems to correct the issue, but many people wont know about this and will take car in for servicing by Mazda because replacing lamp requires you to remove wheel and wheel well in order to get access to the lamp. .

Low beam headlights turn off on their own with slight vibration, or knock that can be caused by either a pothole, bump in the road, or speed bump. I discovered on the internet that this, is a super common problem for all Mazda 6 (second generation) owners, and they have to bang their fists on the headlight assembly outside the vehicle to turn them on. I tried this method as well, and it worked for me despite being dangerous.

The low beam headlights on the car take turns going out for some reason. I have had the car for five years, bought it brand new and have had to replace headlight bulbs at least 8 times. I have read several other review about the same issue. This is a safety issue, if we to be driving at night and both headlights go out that would be very dangerous. Second issue: every winter when it gets colder the cars electronic system seems to run much slower and the blue tooth, cd player, etc. Will not connect and there has bee three instances where the car will make a loud popping noise while it is in motion and the whole stereo system, blue tooth, dashboard lights will power off and I'll have to reset up the blue tooth.

Took my 2010 Mazda 6 to the dealership for an oil change. As part of their safety check they reported that both of my low beam headlights were out. I was quoted $172. 00 for replacing the bulbs. When I got home I went to u-tube to see how difficult this was to warrant the charge. One of the videos showed a Mazda 3 owner with a similar problem, the passenger side low beam out. He tapped the outer lens with his fist and the light came on. I went out and tried the same on my Mazda 6 and both headlights came on and were normal. It is obvious that Mazda has a safety issue with there headlight wiring or connections.

My break routers are completely warped! after 6 months of having my car my breaks have gone out multiple times, I don't not drive my car long distances or even on a daily basis. I can be going as slow as 25 mph and when I go to break my car will start to shake (not much but noticeable) this is very dangerous due to the fact it can cause loss of control while breaking. I have taken my car to the dealer and had it worked on under a "one time" warranty meaning they will maintenance the break once at no cost to me. Each time I have gone or spoken to my dealer they say they can't figure out why it keeps happening and even said it could be normal wear and tear (which is not the case). I am apart of a regional Mazda club and everyone with a Mazda 6 (2009-12) seem to have the exact same problem with this. Also, the tire pressure light stays on. Almost immediately after I purchased my car the light came on followed by the loud beeping sound that warns you that your tire pressure is low. I called my dealer and they looked at it and told my I just need air. Well the very next day the light came on and the loud beeping followed. A long with that my passenger seat air bag light keeps say that the air bag is off, and the passenger seat low beam headlight has issues with stay on.

The contact owns a 2010 Mazda Mazda6. The contact stated while driving into the residential driveway, the passenger side low beam headlight burned out. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 53,855 and the current mileage was 54,200.

Low beam headlights went out at 40,000 miles and have been replaced 2more times. Yesterday, no low beam headlights again so I googled problem. Over 170 reports on one site of same problem for various Mazda models and years. Interestingly, the video on the site says if you rap the outer headlight casing the light comes on but may not stay on once car is shut off. This worked for virtually everyone on the site and myself. Mazda must be aware of this problem but is doing nothing for consumers. Also their engineering design makes replacing bulbs a $150 adventure as the average person can't do it themself.

Headlights go out on both passenger and driver side far too often. Sometimes a thump to the light cover or body by the headlight assembly will turn the light back on. The lights will eventually burn out far too often as well. I have replaced about 7 headlights since buying new. It is dangerous as both lights have gone off at night while driving. Light will go off while driving and sometimes not turn on when started. There are even you tube videos with people having the same issues. This has been going on from about a year after new purchase.
