Down here in the states we have small claims courts, where an individual can file a claim against another individual or a company. Although it varies by state, a typical cap for the claim is around 6K USD, and the plaintiff does not need to hire a lawyer. Is there anything similar to that in Canada, where you can bring a case against Mazda, without needing expensive legal help?2018 73000km
We also have small claims court in Canada. Each provincial small claims court has varying degrees of maximum claims, but here on the east coast in New Brunswick where I live the maximum claim is $20,000 (Canadian), where, amongst other claims, you can sue for defective or damaged goods.Down here in the states we have small claims courts, where an individual can file a claim against another individual or a company.

Wow, that's quite a bit higher cap than our SCC, even if the exchange rate is figured in. Ours don't require lawyers, and some states don't allow them to actively participate at all. And the cases are decided a judge, instead of a jury, so all of that keeps the cost to the plaintiff very reasonable.

Thanks for posting that. I had an undated list, which is obviously very obsolete, based on your linked information.Some states are substantially higher than 6k

So....from what I'm reading is that Mazda is refusing to pay for repairs unless you have documentation that shows that ALL oil changes and other required maintenance was performed on time?
Well, I guess the one we let go of wouldn't have qualified, since we purchased it used with no docs. C'est la vive!
I have a 2018 CX5 currently at dealer, they replaced the engine, and now have new code, I’m told that the transmission needs to be replaced sounds like something related to the engine work? I am hearing this 2nd hand as the used car dealer sent it to Mazda for repairs so they are doing all the direct communication. Please advise.I made an account just to reply to this thread. I've been a tech for Mazda for over 15 years now, doing my second bad head related replacement today actually. The first time I found one was on a CX9. No complaints, was just a simple 16k service and I noticed that the oil and coolant had mixed together, opened a ticket to Mazda Canada and they sent an engine replacement. Now the problem is so common that we just replace the head and gasket. The problem seems to be from a small crack in the head near the exhaust manifold bolts. The engine will either leak coolant or oil depending on where it's located, but the leak gets worse the hotter the engine gets. Thanks to supply problems, took well over 2 months to get the parts needed to repair this CX5 I'm working on today. As far as how common this is, my dealership has done maybe 9 or 10 heads in the last year.
Although I feel that Mazda should be picking up the full tab for these cracked heads, that net $700 is certainly a very good amount of assistance, when compared to most other out-of-warranty vehicles. Did you have all, or almost all maintenance done at a dealership? And it looks like you declined everything except the tensioner replacement - is that correct?My Car (2018 CX-5, 70,000 miles)was diagnosed today with this issue. Had a smell when driving vehicle, smoke could be seen through the light of the headlights, didn't see any real oil, and checked oil regularly to see if I lost any, but nothing really visible. Took it to a trusted mechanic, they pulled the covers off the bottom of the car, and they say the engine was coated with oil, they said to take it to mazda as it may be a recall issue, either way they could not get the parts. They suspected a Blown Head Gasket. Just got off the phone with Mazda Dealership. Looks like Mazda is assisting with the cost even though i am out of warranty. Still gonna cost me some cash to get fixed.
