I haven't posted on this in a little while. I was treading lightly in the shark infested waters of litigation happy individuals. But FINALY there are people here that know the difference between an honest mistake by Mazda and being 'screwed' by Mazda. A consienscious buyer ALWAYS checks the car...
Its just natural selection at work :)
Seriously though, I haven't even tested the limits of my MS3 because, quite frankly, I don't have a death wish - for myself or for others around me.
It would be in Mazda's best interest to work with people on this instead of trying to sweep it under the rug.
I wish companies would start taking a little responsibility for their mistakes. Good luck to all of you that have the funky window stickers, I wish the best outcome for all of you, no...
Good work coffee!
There are always alternatives to a lawsuit, you just have to hunt them down.
And SAM- I think everyone in here understands that nobody is a lawyer and hasn't passed the BAR. However, it doesn't mean that some of us don't know the law as well as a lawyer.

Your issue is not covered by Title 15, Chapter 28, Sections 1231-1233 and it doesn't appear the the good folks of Texas saw any reason to go above and beyond the Federal requirement.
It would appear that they are not legally bound to fix your...

Model
Serial or Identification Numbers

Plus you have not seen any official word from Mazda so everyhting is hearsay right now anyway.
The anti-theft engine immobilizer is not the same as the theft-deterrent security system of the GT.
Both versions have the anti-theft engine immobilizer, which is not an alarm system.
MNAO:
Mazda Customer Assistance Specialists are available

MNAO will probably just need a copy of the window sticker to confirm the situation. MNAO has always been helpful when I have given them the information they need to make an informed decision.
Due dilligence will more than likely resolve the issue so you dont need litigation - but it also...
You may want to try calling the Federal Trade Commission @ 1-877-FTC-HELP
Let them know it is regarding a questionable (I know it is just totally wrong) Moroney sticker from Mazda.
I didn't refresh before editing my previous post.
I've never heard of an insurance company using occupation and income as a factor. In fact, I have never been asked by an insurance compnay what my occupation and income are. I guess I learn something new all the time!
They do use credit score and age/gender is a huge factor in Wisconsin. My...
