1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 08/30/2022

The headlights are increasingly failing. They are so dim that I can not safely drive at night. They burn out easily. I have to replace them about 4 times a year now. In the first few years of owning the car the headlights were fine. But now it is a major safely issue for myself and others on the road. It seems like with age the headlights or components are wearing out. I am considering getting rid of this car only due to the headlights. I have considered changing to a xenon system but I am scared of the wiring and do not want to risk a wiring issue. This is my only concern with this car and it appears that most who have the same car have the same headlight issue. This should be recalled to save lifes! it is dangerous to drive this car at night with such poor lighting.

4 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2013

I was pulled over my local police for no head lamp. They let me off with a warning. I seached the internet the next day and found that this problem is a kknown defect by Mazda and they are doing nothing about it. I found over 4 dozen testimonials from car owners describing the exact same promlem on the exact same model. They were told by Mazda north America to "rap on the plastic headlamp cover" and that would turn on the lamp. . . . Which it does. In my opinion, Mazda is negligent in correcting a known defect.
