2006 Mazda Mazda5 Tires & Wheels Problems

WE'VE OWNED OUR MAZDA 5 2006 SINCE 2009. THERE WERE 22,000 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. IN 2016, IT HAS 138,000 MILES. DURING OUR OWNERSHIP, WE HAVE PURCHASED 2 NEW TIRES AT 60,000, 2 NEW TIRES AT 73,000, 2 NEW TIRES AT 82,000, 2 NEW TIRES AT 104,000, 1 TIRE AT 107,000, 2 NEW TIRES AT 116,000, AND 1 NEW TIRE AT 124,000. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT ROTATING AND BALANCING THE TIRES EVERY 5-6,000 MILES. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN PUNCTURED ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS, DUE TO UNEVEN WEAR. WE REPLACED THE FRONT STRUTS AND REAR SHOCKS AT 126,000 MILES IN HOPES OF CORRECTING UNEVEN WEAR (DONE BY THE MAZDA DEALER). WE WERE JUST NOTIFIED TODAY THAT ONE TIRE HAS AGAIN WORN UNEVENLY (ON THE INSIDE, AS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE ISSUE...) WE ARE CAREFUL DRIVERS AND OWNERS AND HAVE NEVER HAD (NOT HEARD OF) A CAR WITH THESE KINDS OF UNEVEN TIRE WEAR PROBLEMS. MOST MILES HAVE BEEN ADDED IN THE CITY, BUT WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL LONG-DISTANCE VACATIONS. WE HAVE ALL OF THE DOCUMENTATION BUT DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO UPLOAD AT THIS MOMENT. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU WANT THE DOCUMENTS.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST FLOW MAZDA OF FAYETTEVILLE NC BECAUSE OF THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER FAILING TO PROVIDE DEALER WARRANTY INFORMATION AND/OR TIRE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY INFORMATION AT TIME OF PURCHASE OF 3 TIRES ON 23 FEB 2013 1420 EST. AS A RESULT I JUST FOUND OUT YESTERDAY JULY 31, 2014 AFTER 0920 HRS. EST THAT DUE TO NOT FOLLOWING "OWNERS OBLIGATIONS" IT WAS MY FAULT FOR A REALLY VAGUE TERM - "LACK OF MAINTENANCE". I ALSO ATTEMPTED TO FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT WITH [XXX] OF FLOW MAZDA UNFORTUNATELY HE DID NOT WRITE ANYTHING DOWN AND HE TOLD ME IT WILL BE STORED IN HIS HEAD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2006 MAZDA 5 TOURING FOR APPROXIMATELY 3.5 YEARS. THIS WILL BE THE 4 SET OF TIRES I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE DUE TO INSIDE WEAR. *TR

NEED TO REPLACE THE TIRES AGAIN. 5TH TIME SINCE OWNING THE CAR. WHEN IS MAZDA GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

BOUGHT THE MAZDA5 NEW IN JUNE OF 2006, SINCE THEN WE HAVE PUT 22,000 MILES ON THE CAR, THE TIRES WHICH WERE TOYO'S WORE OUT AT 21,000 MILES ON THE INSIDE, OUTSIDE LOOKED LIKE YOU COULD DRIVE ON THEM ANOTHER COUPLE THOUSAND MILES. INSIDES WERE DOWN TO THE CORDS. TIRES WERE ROTATED EVERY 7,000 MILES. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT AND TO CONTACT MAZDA USA. I CONTACTED MAZDA USA, AND THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM, I EVEN TOLD THEM THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I HAVE SPOKEN WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I REALLY FELT AND STILL FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITH THIS CONDITION BECAUSE ANY OF THE TIRES CAN BLOW OUT AT ANY MOMENT WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

ABNORMAL TIRE WEAR, CUPPING INSIDE REAR TIRES AT 21,000 MILES. DEALER HAS REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE SHOCKS AT 27,000 MILES. THE CAR RARELY HAS MORE THAN FOUR OCCUPANTS AND HAS NEVER BEEN UNDER HEAVY LOAD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MAZDA 5. THE VEHICLE HAS DUNLOP SIGNATURE SPORT, SIZE 205/50/R17 TIRES (NA). WHILE HAVING THE TIRES ROUTINELY SERVICED, THE INSPECTOR NOTICED THAT THE WIRES ON ALL FOUR TIRES WERE STICKING OUT OF THE SIDEWALLS. THE MAZDA DEALER REPLACED TWO TIRES AS A FREE REMEDY AND THE OTHER TWO WERE REPAIRED AT THE CONSUMER'S EXPENSE. THREE MONTHS LATER, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WENT ENTIRELY FLAT. HE THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE SIDEWALL HAD COMPLETELY SPLIT AND WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AVAILABLE. ALL FIVE TIRES THAT WERE REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE WERE IDENTICAL. THE TRANSMISSION TYPE WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

I HAVE ALSO HAD EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON TOYO PROXES 205/50/17. THE TIRES ARE WEARING ON THE INSIDE, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF THE BELTS SHOWING. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND I HAVE PERSONALLY ROTATED THE TIRES FOUR TIMES. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN ROARING ALMOST WHEEL BEARING LIKE NOISES FOR THE LAST 15,000+ MILES. TIRE PRESSURE IS ALWAYS PROPERLY MAINTAINED.

THE DEFECTIVE TIRES WERE REPLACEMENT TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED BY SUMITOMO, SIZE P205/50/R17, AND THE DOT NUMBER WAS U2H4. THE TIRE LINE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TIRES WERE REPLACED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED TO HAVE SOMEONE INSPECT THE VEHICLE.
