Then I suggest you don't stake out a position here. Especially one that all bureaucracies fall back on when it becomes painfully obvious to everyone that they're incapable of performing their job. The answer is always "just throw more money at the problem".😣

Keep in mind that Japanese industrial scandals aren't always as clear cut as they're made out to be. Remember the Carlos Ghosn/Nissan debacle? The symbiotic relationship between the government and large corporations really muddies the water in many of these incidents.

I suppose that's a useful data point set for some, but I've seen this guy before and I'm not impressed.

I'd suggest you try to record it again. I turned my speakers up all the way and couldn't hear any distinguishable noise!

That may be, but they just look like such an afterthought.

I’ve always wondered why people put those things on their cars. Seem to be more popular in certain areas of the country, but I never really saw the point.😕

Give your VIN to your dealer parts dept to run through their system and they can give you the part #.

Well it's not almost 2.5 hrs since you posted, but you can always just disconnect the battery's positive lead.

WOW; somebody put all that after delivery $$ into it and then only drove it 250 miles/month? Crazy!

Dead key fob battery?

303 Products are generally considered the gold standard for this type of thing. Presumably they have a cleaner (if not, use Armorall cleaner) and then go over it with 303 Protectant. PS: your "gunmetal grey" is actually "Machine Grey" in Mazda-speak.

Next step is to take it to a dealer and have it properly diagnosed instead of just throwing more $$ and parts at it. Put the monkey on their back!

I don't know how many ways this has been said here, but to reiterate: '23s had CD only; early 24s had both CD and i-stop which resulted in slightly better fuel mileage until Mazda ran out of parts for both. At which point the mileage figures fell 1 mpg back to what they were in '23. This is not...

True, but he did sign in as "CX52024" :rolleyes:

A lot's happened in 11 model years!

That's what I have on my 3. You'll love 'em!

Anti-lock brake self check?

Sure it does! As others here have pointed out, it gets slightly better mileage with those components in place.

What country is this?
