problem #2

MAZDA3 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 28,000 miles
I was rear ended by a city transit bus going approx. 30mph. At the point of impact my seat dislodged from it's position and flew back to the furthest position, then locking in place. I was unable to hit the brakes - therefore, pushing me into another vehicle of which I rear ended. My brand new car was considered a total loss. I did severe damage to the car I rear ended. The airbags also failed to deploy.

problem #1

MAZDA3 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 15 miles
I have sustained a painful ergonomic injury to my right achilles tendon from the poor design of the accelerator/brake area and the limited seat adjustment in this car (2007 Mazda speed 3). I have to ice my ankle every night. When driving it is painful and can become numb, reducing my ability to do emergency braking. I am concerned that this will lead to an accident. The issue started in early January with less than 100 miles on the car - now I have 1300 on the car and experience this every day I drive the vehicle.
