Acabo de enviar correos a la lista de MikieMad, por cierto la direccion Cartas.abe@axelspringer.es da fallo al enviar.
Yo acudi a Kuroba Motor el día 8 de Febrero con un faro serie C afectado y me dijo la persona que lo recepcionó:
"Mazad esta cambiando los faros afectados sin coste en coches con hasta 40 meses (tres años y medio). A partir de ahí el usuario tiene que abonar el 10%". Conocía el problema perfectamente y según él no todos los serie C o D estaban fallando. En mi caso ha sido a los 42 meses por lo que tendré que pasar por caja
Ahora estoy esperando a que me avisen para ir a cambiarlo.
Aprovechando que se han publicado unas direcciones de correo de MAZDA Europa y MAZDA Japon me he permitido traducir el escrito de MikieMad al ingles (con la ayuda de google) y hacer alguna pequeña adaptación para enviarla a ambas direcciones. Yo ya lo he hecho:
Mazda Europa: Customer_Relations@mazdaeur.com
Mazda Japón: keeffe.c@mazda.co.jp
Titulo del correo: Mazda led headlights widespread failure
Cuerpo de la carta a enviar:
Dear Sirs:
We get in touch with you to give voice to a problem suffered by many spanish users of one of the leading vehicle manufacturers, but with a customer service in Spain that is not up to the brand.
With the following words we try to attract your attention so that Mazda spanish drivers are treated the same as in the United States, and not as second-class customers.
Several problems previously suffered in several models of vehicles of the Mazda brand, such as the failure in the thickness of the famous three-layer paint "Soul Red", or the serious problems of the camshaft, have had a more or less consistent response by means of repair bulletins or TSB, this being not the case.
In this particular issue we inform you of the design failure in the led headlights of the restyling models 2015-2016.
The daytime lights begin to blink until they fail, affecting part of the front semicircle and also to the operation the smart lights.
Specifically the main affected are the Mazda CX-5 2015-2016 with date of manufacture until 2016 inclusive, with LED lights C and D series, although in forums of Mazda3, MX, CX-3, etc. new cases are also appearing.
If the vehicle has one or two headlights with the C or D series, the fault is almost-safe, it only remains to know when it will appear, before the end of the warranty or after, with the consequent cost of a piece valued at € 1500 per headlight.
In 2016 the first problems began to be reported in the USA, and Stanley (the brand that manufactures the headlights) took out the "H" series that solved the problem theoretically. Soon after, and after the complaints of many North American users, they take the "J" series to match the color temperature of the headlights with the original C series.
The corrective measure in the USA is clear: The distributors diagnose the fault and if it is confirmed, replace the headlight without cost for the customer, whether or not it is under warranty, since there is no possible repair of the damaged led, the complete headlight is replaced.
But in Spain, Mazda is denying and hiding information about the problem, as if every user who calls was the first, and in the best case reaching timely agreements to pay a percentage of the repair. There is not a generalized solution like in the USA. It is left to dealers to behave better or worse as a "commercial measure" towards the owner.
We understand that if MAZDA has not foreseen in the design of the headlight the possibility of the replacement of a led (as it does with the bulbs) it is because it considers that the useful life of these elements goes much further than the useful life of the car (implied warranty for life) and therefore if this is not fulfilled it is MAZDA who must carry the consequence and replace the complete headlight at his expense. Especially when there is such a disproportion between the value of a simple LED and that of the complete headlight.
We invite you to check all the information reported by thousands of drivers in various forums, being one of the most serious by number of users and content: Club Mazda CX-5
Many drivers are constituting a platform of affected in joint claim Lighthouses Daylight Fail of Restyling 2015.
We have acquired a vehicle of the Mazda brand carried by their excellent references and we want to appeal to you to find a solution to this episode.
Our sole purpose is to obtain a real Mazda commitment to replacement free of cost for the user, as it already does in other countries. Are we in Spain second-class customers?.
We are convinced that Mazda will be sensitive to these requests and we will soon find a collective solution to this problem.
In the confidence that what is stated here deserves your interest, and thanking you in advance for the attention that you can give to this topic, we send you a cordial greeting.
Spanish Users of Mazda Motor Corporation
