Thank you fiiends yes good points and looking very fishy. Looks like it is time to quit using the Mazda Dealer and find a good private shop.

Probably should seperate issues to proper forums but it is a package so present it as such. Took my 2020 Signature in for the 45.000 kilometer (28,000 miles) revision today and my car has turned into a beautiful woman...high maintenance! It needed it's fourth pair of rear break pads and third...

Very good thank you. Well it turns out it wasn't a simple fix at the dealer today.The manager said a new liner would have to be ordered and it will have to be imported! And will take 60 days to get here! Balderdash! Colombians are very good at fixing things without factory backup and I will take...

Very good, looks like something Mazda should be able to fix tomorrow.

I just washed my car and discovered that the fabric rear wheel well liner is hanging down on the passenger side. Not so far that it is touching the tire but quite loose. I can't really see what holds it in place. Does anyone know? It's only on that side so far. As to cause I can only guess that...

Good thanks. Good to know.

My tires arrived today yippee! If I'm reading the sidewall correctly they appear to have been manufactured July, 2021. Is that considered old? I assume they came to Colombia by cargo ship.

Great, thank you.

I haven't ever run across any salvage yards with auto parts however there are plenty of clandestine stolen parts outlets which I certainly won't avail myself of. (Salvage yards proably couldn't compete). A good idea about the smaller rims though. As to popularity Mazda is hugely popular here...

Well before I crow too loudly I'd better admit that the $705.47 is the charge that is pending on my credit card account. I suspect the seller will not actually charge the account until the tires are delivered between the 13th and the 17th so the charge will be the at the exchange rate on the day...

Yes I will mount them in less than a year, good advice. Jack Rabbit I know the 17" are supposed to ride better on unpaved road but a set of wheels here would be pretty expensive. Thanks all for the confirmation of my tire choice. And one more reason for purchasing now! The Colombian peso/US...

The original stock tires on my 2020 Signature (can't remember, Toyo?) were thoroughly shot by 24,0500 kilometers (15,200 miles). I posted a photo and all here agreed they were really badly worn. The extremely limited life of those tires was due no doubt to covering about 5 kilometers (3 miles)...

Thank you, excellent replies.

Today I came up fast on a stopped vehicle and I think I had my first auto braking experience. There were three warning beeps and I felt the brakes activate (I think) but I hit the brakes myself at about the same time. My impression was that I was awfully close when the auto braking kicked in and...

No I don't have occasion to use cruise control. No four lane roads.

Thank you. I hadn't thought of trying sport mode when descending. Will give it a try today.

If I understand correctly both Ford and Mazda versions were built on the same assembly line and just differentiated at the end of it with respective badges but who did the prliminary designing of the vehicles Mazda, Ford or other?

I didn't know the BT-50 was an Isuzu, interesting. Some Mazdas and Fords were assembled in Bogotá until production ended in 2016.

That might not be the proper way to describe them but I'm referring to Jeep like 4x4s with two speed transfer case. While Mazda has produced 4x4 pickups, to my knowlege they have apparently never offered a non pickup 4x4 unlike Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Isuzu and Daihatsu which have...
