I would say it depends on your local laws. In Quebec there are strong consumer protections laws, and I think you could make a case for it. The US extension of warranty is pretty much an admission by Mazda that there is an underlying issue. However those laws would only help single individuals to...

I still don’t fully trust mazda Canada’s response. I find the customer services of most brands know very little more than other things. The only way to really know is to get a good service manager from Canada to tell us, or to have someone having lived through it. One thing is for sure though...

I believe I saw one or two people who that happened to on here. If I recall they were early cases where the first replacement engine didn’t have the updated cylinder head yet.

Mazda also has a warranty extension on the cracked head in the US to 10 years, 120000 miles. Still waiting on a confirmation that it also applies to Canada, but I hope it does for my 2018. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-11011136-0001.pdf

You don’t need to signup to the class action lawsuit anymore, because mazda issued the extended warranty. Typically these warranties extend to Canada as well, but not always. Remember Canada has a different powertrain warranty than the U.S. (unlimited km vs 60,000 miles). The only way to know...

Look at the VIN number of the vehicle and compare it with the VIN range in the TSB. Not all 2021 had the issue. If your 2021 is outside of the VIN range it should be fine. Unrelated but you should also know that in Canada there is a 2021.5 model. The 2021s have the old infotainment system and...

Based on a few google search it looks like there are a lot of options for less 200$ for the part. I am guessing the bulk of the cost is labor, i couldn’t confirm 100% but you might need to remove the bumper to get to them (that would be a ridiculous design if that is the case, but it happens)

It is not super easy to compare all years but here is my best try for the US GT trim level: 2019: - Assuming you already know all the included options like ventilated seats, etc 2020: - Added G Vectoring control Plus (update of G Vectoring Control on the 2019) - Larger infotainment display (9...

There are a few differences between them. Mainly, the infotainment changed, the second row seat configuration changed (captain chair vs bench seat) i think, the carbon edition was introduced, there was a new cylinder head introduced to prevent the dreaded cylinder head cracking and 10 lb ft of...

Shop around for the keyfob, Mazdaswag.com seems to have them for around 139 US. Make https://www.mazdaswag.com/oem-parts/mazda-keyless-entry-transmitter-tayb675dyb?c=bD01Jm49U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHMmYT1tYXpkYSZvPWN4LTkmeT0yMDIxJnQ9Z3JhbmQtdG91cmluZyZlPTItNWwtbDQtZ2Fz you get the right part number...

Is the odometer working ? Wondering if the dash was replaced but not registered to the car through mazda..

I am not a fan of prepaid credit card, but that is what everyone is doing nowadays, even the new tire rebates are now given in prepaid card. But i don’t understand why you say there are fees. These prepaid credit cards don’t have fees associated with them.

You said the second engine failed a month later, why wasn’t the second engine fixed on warranty from the install? Was it a used engine?

It sounds like the alternator. Basically, the alternator does not charge the battery so it dies while you are driving, but after being left alone for a long time the battery regains just enough charge to be driven a little bit. When you boost the car , you charge the battery a bit and it works...

Review on the transmission update for 2025:

I don’t have a lot of experience with it but i think it should at least let you do a reinstall of the map update on the sd-card.

I am not sure how to solve it but it may be caused by the map update. The system uses the speed recorded in the maps when a sign has not been detected by the cameras. It kind of looks likes your map database has all these roads identified at 30mph. Maybe you could try reinstalling the maps from...

Also found out following the wikipedia link that the mazda 3 in North America has the 191 hp version of the 2.5L engine with a compression ratio of 13.0:1. So that removes both the octane and the compression ratio argument from the equation. The 191hp version of the engine is available in North...

There may be more to the story. I just went on the UK mazda website and I see that the 2.5 lt engine is rated at 194ps. Notice that it is in “ps” and not hp. Based on the article below, ps is also horsepower, but measured slightly differently. The article quote that 1 ps = 0.986hp. So that would...

Male sure you check what is available in your area before making the decision. Here in Canada i have a friend that has been waiting one year for their Grand higlander and it still hasn’t shown up.
