| 2007 | AIR BAGS | PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COME ON AS BEING OFF WHEN MY WIFE IS SEATED ON PASSENGER SEAT. DEALER FIXED IT 5 TIMES AND WORKS BETTER THEN BEFORE, BUT STILL OCCASIONALLY COMES ON WHILE DRIVING ALMOST RANDOMLY ON/OFF. MY WIFE IS PETITE BUT WEIGHTS 105LBS OR SO. THE LIGHT SHOULD NOT COME ON AS BEING OFF FOR THIS WEIGHT. *TR |
| 2008 | ENGINE | THERE WAS A KNOCKING ALMOST AS IF THE CAR WAS A DIESEL, BROUGHT THE CAR TO MILFORD MAZDA IN MILFORD CT AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE A MONTH EARLIER AT BOBS IN MILFORD CT. THE MAZDA DEALER REPLACED THE VVT DECEMBER 2012 THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND I TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY GET A CODE FOR CAMSHAFT, I BRING THE CAR TO MAZDA WHO TELLS ME UPON ARRIVAL WITH OUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE VEHICLE THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY ARE SURE THERE IS SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE, YEA SAME STORY EVERYONE ELSE GETS. I FAITHFULLY HAD MY OIL CHANGED EVERY 5,0000 MILES MAX AS THIS WAS DRILLED IN MY HEAD GROWING UP FROM MY DAD. APPROXIMATELY SOME TIME IN MARCH I WAS DRIVING TO WORK I GET THIS LOUD WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER THE TURBO WENT. I HAVE A NEW TURBO INSTALLED AND STILL SUPPOSEDLY NEED ANOTHER VVT JUST 2 YEARS AFTER THEY REPLACED THIS PART AND NOW THERE IS A HUMMING/WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR NOT TO MENTION (2) TIE RODS ARE BAD. THIS CAR IS NO DOUBT A PIECE OF CRAP THAT I STILL OWE 13K ON AND MAZDA CORPORATE WILL NOT EVEN RETURN MY CALL. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE WITH ALL THE SAME COMPLAINTS. *TR |
