My car has been showing red check engine light randomly for the lst 3 months. It lasts 24 - 48 hrs, sometimes after oil change. Dealer said nothing to worry about, but I finally took it to autozone who said code was stored as misfire on cylinder 4. dealer is looking at it now, but always dismissed it before. Now that I know it has to due with a cylinder - why didn't they investigate further? of course my car is about 2 months out of warranty and 17oo miles as of today.

This car has serious problems. I have approached Mazda with numerous service complaints and they refuse to fix. The car gets terrible gas mileage not the factory stated 42 mpg which was sold on the msrp but more like 22. The suspension drives terrible makes noises, the car "creaks" when going over things and is not stable at freeway speeds. The car also sways form left to right on the freeway and is extremely slow to stop. It is dangerous and Mazda will not fix. I even have a voicemail form Mazda corporate stating then refuse to fix these problems. I have had to hired a lawyer to declare the car a lemon. Mazda also refused to service the car for oil changes, tire rotation, etc. I have also filed a claim with Mazda corporate along with the numerous times in and out of the shop yet they still refuse and are unwilling to service/fix the safety issues on my car. Also, the heated seats, both front and passenger, have not been able to be fixed since the day I purchased the car (I have now had the car approx 14 months). As of today 7/11/2017, this problem that has been going on since I bought the car early 2016 has not been resolved. Please help!

The contact owns a 2016 Mazda 6. while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle eventually restarted, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump and brake lines were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted after the engine system malfunction warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but the failure was unable to be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 7,000.
