Your owners manual should list all the jack points on the car. Unless you are operating a vehicle with directional tires you should not be swapping simply front to back. The tires should come forward from the rear and cross to opposite side of the vehicle. Direct front to back changes are only...

I have a newly replaced .5 headunit as well. I dont have skipping issues. Sounds like you have yet another bad unit.

You could ask the folks at Finishline Performance. They post service bulletins for all Mazdas so they could tell you if you want a second opinion.

Follow up to my post - Took about 20 days but the dealer received my stereo and I've had it installed. Not a bad sounding little system for stock. All problems radio related solved.

This is preposterous, especially considering the kind of situation the car faces in 1st and 2nd gear in this car. Based on the chain of events it sounds like the replacement engine wasn't properly installed. The setup of the engine was taken at face value and basic installation methodologies...

Something else to keep in mind, some folks are posting their interest rates for you to see. These are completely irrelevant unless their credit score and history closely matches yours. Some folks here might still be in school, others might be fresh out of college, others my be old farts who are...

You need to do the math yourself and see where you stand. Your commend of "they said" is a big red flag. You're leaving it up to the dealer to do all the math and all the banking for you which is probably more trusting than you should be. Known their fees up front (all of them), know your...

What happens if I have a full oil reservoir and a loss of oil pressure? One does not indicate the other is healthy.

Its unfortunate that this isn't in the service manual since its referenced in the owners manual. Turning the lights on and off manually isn't a solution, its just ignoring the problem. We paid for this so I think its worth investigating a solution for it. I have a Camry I paid considerably less...

I did some searching in the forum and found several posts talking about the adjustment for the automatic headlight sensitivity. None of the threads mentioned if anyone successfully had this done and what was done to adjust it. My headlights come on in the middle of a sunny day when I pull into...

Interesting to see such a huge price difference. I know these folks are cutting tint on a vinyl printer as well. Did your dealer offer more than one grade of tint? The places I spoke with offered as many at 6. The most expensive was a ceramic coated tint instead of a metallic that I was "told"...

The product I use depends on where the car came from, straight from a dealer or used. For used cars I've had very good luck with meguiars 3 step wax. This is a cleaner, a polish and finally a wax. Its very long lasting and does wonders to bring your paint back to life. For new cars these one...

Certainly everyone's advice here is good. You need to find a professional. They need to do two things, replace/remove the alarm system and do some wire tracing and ensure that your issue and damage is confined only to your alarm system. Notice I didnt say fix your existing alarm. While others...

My dealer called me on Thursday to inform me that the massive influx in replacement request had the radio on nation wide backorder (probably meaning mazda ships parts from warehouses by region). He promised to call me as soon as it came in but said he expected this could take anywhere from two...

Mind if I ask how much this set you back? I called a couple of local dealers and asked for price quotes on their two highest grades of tint and got prices between 400 and 450. I'm wondering how this stacks up to others.

Without getting into too much detail I can tell you my tires were over inflated to 40psi all around and I didnt get a warning light. I wouldnt have even known but checked the tires as soon as I got the car home and discovered this. I think it might only be looking for a low pressure threshold...

This is a strange one. Have any of you gotten the wheel off the car and actually had a look at the brake assembly? To those that went to the dealer, did they do this or just drive the car? Pedal feedback can also been a sign of a warped rotor but all these cars are so new that doesn't make any...

To the original poster, you say you get brake noise when you turn to the left without touching the brakes themselves? Are you getting any abnormal brake pedal vibration? Does the car pull to one side? I have seen cases where an improperly mounted wheel caused these type of issues. An improperly...
