problem #2

MAZDA3 Touring 2.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 79,420 miles

Back left brake light burned out, that's when I noticed the melted brake light housing. So I checked the right tail light and noticed it was in the same condition.

problem #1

Jun 132014

MAZDA3 S Sport5-door 2.3dohc

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

Replaced both tail light assemblies June 13 2014 due to the lens melting. These were original parts. Called the Mazda dealer and the service manager said he never heard of the problem before and he owns a Mazda 3 (bullcocka). Searched the web and found this problem mainly with Hatchbacks.

WELL, after replacing both rear brake light housings and bulbs I see today that my driver's side rear brake lens has melted AGAIN!! WTF. Can anybody tell me what/s wrong and how much its gonna cost? I just paid it off and was thinking about buying another Mazda but now I think I'll take my business somewhere else!
