Windows cannot open in hot weather. Dealer's service mechanics always just clean the rubber seal tract and lubricate it, and so do we. Windows get stuck again after 3 days. It's dangerous, because if in an accident, one cannot get out thru the window. There are so many canals next to south florida roads- and so many death by drowning in the car... Not talking about inconvenience of having to get out from the car to pay tolls and get thru gated community entrance. Mechanics in the dealership are saying, that this model of mazda has this problem and they cannot do more, because even if they would put new rubber seals or door, it would be doing the same. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2010 mazda mx-3 (na). While the vehicle was stopped, the contact noticed that the brake lights were dimly lit. As a result, vehicles in the rear could not see the lights until they were close up on the vehicle. The contact feels that the lights are poorly illuminated and could cause a severe crash. The vehicle has not been inspected and he is in the process of taking it back to the dealer and calling the manufacturer. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 300 and current mileage was 1,150.
