Use the backup camera and the rear/side view mirrors.

Op mentioned "rear cross traffic alert" in his post, I don't think he has the parking sensors.

I think it only picks up moving objects.

Hopefully your warranty paid for itself. I too purchased an extended warranty on my 2019. Hoping I will never have to use it.

Have both. Na 23.4 Turbo 23.1. Mostly suburban driving. On highway both will avg over 30 mpg.

Missed the year in the title. If you can't resolve you may be forced to take it to a Mazda dealer although sm1ke's post sounds promising.

What year/trim is the vehicle? Did you check for any TSB's that reference the problem? Search this site, see if there's any similar problems that might have a solution. I take it you did not buy the vehicle from a Mazda dealer.

Did they check motor mounts?

Take it to the dealer and let them do the update.

Consider yourself lucky. Also Acura has timing belts instead of chains. That's a major cost. I also replaced one of those at around 80k. Hopefully the new models now have chains.

Heck, I had to replace the wheel bearings at appx. 80,000 miles on my Acura. I would not judge build quality on a few bearing replacements.

Thanks. The 46% is what was reported but the way they got to the 46% was taking existing tariffs which vary for different products and throwing in the US to Japan yearly trade deficit along with some other variables to arrive at that figure. Sounds like a bunch of economic coneheads got together...

Actually they do but it's not 46% that I reported earlier. That was info from the adminstration yesterday. That 46% is incorrect. Japans import tariff is closer to 4%. My mistake for not digging deeper.

Considering your hypothetical - since labor accounts for 10 - 20% of a car build price plus advertising and adminstration they could probably save around 30% of the price affected by the tariff if they get into that detail. Don't know the specifics, if it's built here does it avoid the tariff...

That's what I thought too.

Sounds like a valve releasing air or an animal stuck in your engine compartment.

I doubt there's a lifetime fluid. I think it's more a marketing gimmick. Prudent advice is to change it around 40-50k miles and a second time at the next oil change after that. Takes about 3 drain/fills to replace most of the old fluid.

Mazda does not recommend changing the fluid. They claim it's lifetime. If you plan on keeping the vehicle past the powertrain warranty I would do a change around 40,000. Some Mazda dealers refuse to change the fluid.

Glad you got it working. I put my dog in the back seats with a pet cover on the rear seats. She always tries to get to the front seats. On long trips she will lay on the back seats with her head and part of her body on the center console. Heavy towel on the console to avoid scratches.

Having both I know where you're coming from. The NA is fun around town, nimble and fairly quick. The turbo is great on the highway or 2/4 lane highways. I enjoy both.
