| Exterior Lighting problems |
Flashers came on when car was started and will not turn off.
2005 Mazda Tribute with 60,000 miles, hazard flashers started going off in the middle of the night. . . Would not turn off. . . Stuck thin cardboard under switch to hold switch in. . Dealer says no problems like this before. Stopped on its on. . Then started again. . Will have to take to dealer to get this problem fixed, warranty is out. . . Expensive job. . Never touched the switch before this happened. . . Aggravated!.
Since I have owned this car the 'door ajar' light is mostly on--all the time. It is a minor annoyance; however, I am reading tons of other Mazda Tribute owners with the same issue. No one I've had it to--including the dealer--could figure out what is wrong. It clearly is a defect. Sometimes I am concerned it will pose a safety issue as, for instance, it will be off (rare, but sometimes it turns off). Then I roll down a window, or sometimes do nothing, and then the light suddenly comes on. It dings and the interior lights come on in the car as though someone opened a door. I ask that you investigate this issue and hold Mazda responsible for fixing this issue. Thank you!.
