You are in the Mazda6 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
According to Automotive news, some 29,000 '09 Mazda6's (which I think would be all of them sold at this point) are being recalled for a possibly fault in the outside door handle. Something about the fit not being quite right, causing the handle to not close all the way with the potential being there for the door to fly open on it's own. There is one case of that, in Canada.

Replying to: lpmiller (Feb 16, 2009 5:08 pm) Some vehicles have already been repaired at the Ports. My 6s GT is within that VIN Range so is one of those affected. I have not had the problem described though - yet.

I took my car to the local car wash today. As I pulled out I noticed water dripping on the inside of the car at the top of the door just opposite the driver's side mirror. I have a little grill there. It might be a microphone or a small speaker. The water was dripping from directly under that little grill. It wasn't a bad drip, but I know it shouldn't be there. The car is a 2009 Mazda 6i Grand Touring. Anyone else have this problem?

Replying to: vfontjr (Feb 17, 2009 7:01 pm) Have your dealer take a look at it before it ruins the speaker. Before I would do that though, I would try to duplicate the leak. Sit inside the car and do it again. If it was a hand spray wash, have someone else do the wash. Watch for the leak. Make sure the window is all the way up too (but it doesn't appear that it could be from a slightly open window). |
