Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The rear parking assist camera has only worked intermittently since I purchased the car. There is really no pattern to when or why the camera chooses to work or not work, but It seems most affected by opening and closing the rear hatch: if it's working and i open the hatch, it stops working; if it's not working, opening/closing it will often cause it to work again. This is a problem because parking/backing up becomes a challenge when it's not working. This puts my safety at risk because it increases the chances of me having a fender bender when in reverse.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The Mazda Connect touch screen in the center display does not accept touch commands properly or will often operate by itself (ghost touch). When it does this, even though I will have navigation on, it will interrupt the service to jump screens, causing me to lose guidance and force me to pull-over to try to deal with the issue. I have had to swerve in my lane trying to correct the issue until I have the opportunity to pull-over, and it has been dangerous to me and the folks on the road with me when this happens.

Manufacturer Recall No 6023G NHTSA Recall No. 23V-487 Rear View Camera has NOT been repaired. How long more do I have to wait for the repairs to start? It has been over 6 months since the recall notice went out but I have had the issue for years now. Please step in and make Mazda make good on their products. I have called several dealerships but they all tell me that only Mazda headquarters knows when the repairs kits will become available. So, when is that? Do we wait until more accidents happen so the lawsuits increase over this matter? Last time I checked they are still putting out thousands of cars on the road...does that mean they are too busy to take care of these issues since, after all, they have already pocketed our monies and now we are pushed to the side as if we don't matter? I await great news.

Potential Consequences:
Infotainment system / center console doesn't work properly. Buttons would be pushed at random, changing stations and flipping thru menus. It deteriorated to the point where it would constantly reset itself, flashing a very bright (and not dimmable) Mazda logo over and over. Mazda insisted on charging for repairs so I have instead simply removed the center console instead. otherwise the bright flashing light at night was distracting to the point of dangerous.
