My driver's seat rocks back and forth as if a link or screw is missing. I took it to keffer Mazda in huntersville, nc for them to look at it along with my sticky dash board over two months ago. They replaced my dash but stated they didn't have the part for my seat. I was told they would get in touch with me about the seat. I have called three times since and they appear to be ignoring me. This rocking has been going on for about four months of less. Something just popped one day and the rocking happened.

I took my 2010 Mazda3 in for recall of seat link adjusters and to service my melting dashboard that causes an unsafe glare on the windshield while driving in sunny conditions. The dealership verified the recall and service in May 2017 and was informed that parts will need to be ordered. Was told that I would receive a call back in a week or two. After several repeated attempts at calling and emailing the dealership, I cannot reach the service department to check on the status of ordered parts. The time frame for the repair from the unsafe conditions of the driver's seat that moves while I shift, and the horrendous glare from the melting dashboard, is to slow for resolution. It has been 3 months since having my car inspected at rosenthal Mazda/gaithersburg Mazda at 625 North frederick avenue in gaithersburg, md 20879. I have not received any response of communications informing me of the status of getting my car repaired or my rights as a consumer.

Recall part for seat lifter link has failed. The driver seat slants in the forward left direction and rocks/shifts excessively during shifting. Over 75 days have passed since my vehicle recall part was inspected by the dealership. They have stated the part is on back order. After approximately 60 days, I contacted the corporate warranty department for Mazda. They say that there is no way to expedite the process of replacing the failed part.

Front left seat support under driver's seat broke loose, causing entire seat to tilt backward during acceleration on a city street. Only a firm grip on the steering wheel prevented me from losing control of the vehicle. Only after searching on the web did I find an existing recall for seat "inspection". no contact from manufacturer about this recall.
