I'm having an issue with all glass in the vehicle when I'm driving in the rain or foggy weather. Seems it's like the top layer of glass was damaged by sun, please follow the links below to see more details: Https://imgur.com/A/zlidrmj https://youtu.be/Q47nisrtwzw https://youtu.be/frgwtvq3gdg

The contact owns a 2019 Mazda Mazda3. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, a dime sized rock struck the driver's side windshield, leaving a minor chip on the windshield. Three months later while driving at 60 mph, another vehicle driving approximately 30 ft ahead kicked up an unknown object that hit the passenger's side windshield. The object left a minor crack on the passenger side, and as the contact continued to drive, the crack extended over the entire passenger's side. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the windshield was not covered under warranty. A dealer was not informed of the failure. The windshield was not been replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

My Mazda 3 windshield is prone to chipping and cracking at the slightest impact. Today, without any obvious impact while driving, a new 05mm crack developed. (please see attached images) this is the second windshield which developed a full-width crack from a slight impact at local street speed. The new windshield is Mazda oem glass and has been installed for approximately 1 month. The vehicle is less than 1 year old.

I was driving about 30 mph or slower in a light rain on a city street when my vehicle said that the front radar failed/unable to function, all safety systems are now disabled. This lasted for about 3-4 minutes and then it started to function again but only for 2 minutes and then it gave the same message and disabled all my safety systems while again. It started to function again as I pulled into my driveway which is why I was unable to get a photo. I have had multiple ongoing problems with lane departure warning and with the windshield wiper sensor and the doors and trunk locking and unlocking. I think the entire electrical system is defective and most of the problems come from the front radar but there are so many problems with the electronics that I this this vehicle is a lemon. The lane-keep assist is so bad it has almost made me crash on 3 separate occasions so I have disabled it.

Got alert regarding air bags while driving. Also rear mirror fell off the plastic casing while driving on freeway. They both happened at different instances. But both happened when I was driving freeway and scared me. Took into Mazda dealer and they said that both were known issue and airbag issue is unannounced recall.
