Thanks!The two parts of that statement have no connection. If the coolant hasn't contaminated the oil and damaged the engine, then there is NO need, NO point in replacing the short block (the part of the engine under the cylinder head). A new short block will not protect the new head better than the old short block. The block is not the problem. The design of the head is the problem.
This is a real extended warranty from the manufacturer, not the extended service contract fraudulently called an extended warranty.
It’s been a rough two weeks dealing with corporate so my apologies if my response wasn’t “connected” I’m trying to get the word out and let other Mazda owners about this issue so Mazda will take responsibility for their manufacturing/design issues and not leave their customers to pay for their mistakes ultimately causing a major loss for the customer. I’m 18,000 miles out of the 60,0000 mile warranty. I LOVE my Mazda and honestly wouldn’t have another brand but this has been a headache that Mazda should be fixing and they don’t want to give anything but a partial of a partial replacement cost. So I’ll probably never own another Mazda again.
