problem #2

MAZDASPEED3

  • 65,000 miles
The swing arm that attaches the driver's seat to the left-side seat runner unexpectedly detached. Close inspection revealed that this was caused by a weld failure / metal fatigue at the point where the arm was welded to the rod that runs below the cushion. The seat is now unstable and rocks in an alarming way, both when accelerating and decelerating. Copied from an existing complaint for the 2010 model year because it is the exact same problem

MAZDASPEED3

  • 50,000 miles
Driver seat collapses backwards when rear-ended while stationary on interstate and remains fully reclined after collision. Attempts to retract the seat into normal driving position is unsuccessful as the seat no longer locks into position. The only position where the seat locks into place is in the fully reclined position.
