The low beam headlights on the vehicle are known to go out because of a 'harness issue' after research numerous other Mazda owners are having the same isssue. This is whole stationary, in motion, city, highway, doesn't matter. A quick remedy is hitting the light and it'll turn back on. I received a ticket on a military base because of this.

The low beam light of my Mazda 6 is extremely dim, mostly on the rainy day. People sitting next to me always asked me did I actually turn on the light? I saw the Mazda forum online, people other than me always complained the light too. It really affect the safety problem.

Following two days of heavy rain, turn signal remained lit even with ignition turned off. Turn signals will not blink and emergency flasher will not work. Interior lights out and automatic door locks not working. Had to pull turn signal fuse to turn off the light and avoid draining the battery. Found information regarding other owners having problem with defect of hood release area causing water to leak inside vehicle, damaging body control module and causing these electrical problems.

When is the government going to take the responsibility to readdress plastic headlights that cannot withstand normal use, cloud up, and create a safety hazard. My Mazda no longer has normal light output due to inferior lens. This is a vital safety part of a car that should last substantially longer than the 7 years I have owned the car. Yes, I have tried chemicals. This is a safety issue; not an exterior trim problem. Cost to replace is unreasonable. It is almost like driving with no lights at all at this point!
