There is official documentation from Mazda on the design changes to the headlights for 2022. You can find it out there if you look. There are more LEDs in the units starting in 2022. You're right that they've had projectors since 2017 but the design and operation completely changed in 2022.
I will share my experience moving from my 2020 Signature to the '22 I currently have.
The changes made in those two model years made it feel like a much more substantial vehicle.
The upgrade to the newer Mazda connect system alone brings it ahead in leaps and bounds.
The improved headlights...
The Nautilus grabbed my attention as well. It's a great looking vehicle with the Jet appearance package, making it look even better. Saw where Lincoln falls in reliability and it was a bit of a turn off.
The interior is concept-looking!
Same for me (Atlantic Canada). Also purchased mine at Costco. They are going on for their 3rd summer in a few weeks and have been great thus far. Seem to wearing well, too. I am quite happy with them.
That's cruddy news. Sorry to hear. Don't let this bog you down. I guess you can either have the valve replaced on your own or, like you said, live with it.
So there are options that would give you some control.
Or...take it somewhere cold and see if the car triggers a code as I suspect this...
...in a respectful manner...:ROFLMAO:
here's hoping this helps out. I suspect they will also be excited to have Mazda info. that points to a smoking gun, as I recall they were all sure something wasn't right.
Good Luck!
I am of the same opinion with reliability and odds. Dealer support is why I keep going back to my preferred Mazda dealer to purchase new Mazdas. The cars are nice, too, but having a dealer I trust makes a world of difference. Hence why I may just make a CX-70/90 work for me.
I've had similar experiences with dealers. When things go wrong, they go REALLY wrong. The issue is they are taking direction from folks at Head Office on these warranty issues, which would explain how everyone at the dealer was in agreement that something isn't right...but most likely some...
I think you've made a pretty strong case that something isn't right. Having the coolant temps is a clear indication.
I agree with @edmaz, sounds like the car is pushing coolant through the rad all the time.
To be honest, I've grown tired of the complaining in the other CX70 thread about others' disappointment with the announcement. Make no mistake, I am also VERY disappointed with the CX70 but really tired of talking about that aspect. Let's focus on looking forward to next steps in this thread...
