Another poster on this or another mazda form had a Ford fusion w/a crack in his engine block with the similar sounding flushing water noise - and I see another Ford fusion forum with people complaining of sloshing water sounds - engines are essentially the same so maybe related not sure just...

I believe the 18 inch wheels have a 60 offset - I have the 17 inch on my 6i GT and those have a 55 offset .

Just a heads up that my car has been diagnosed with a bad right half/shaft @ 7500 miles and will be going in for warranty repairs this week. It's an 09 6 i gt w.manual. No modifications from stock and no non-dealer repairs/alignments etc so not sure what's the cause. Right one seems ok so...

After analyzing data they pulled during testing, Mazda has given it's final word: hesitation while initially cold or under some light throttle conditions is within normal operating parameters. I guess when life hands you a lemon - make lemon aid or file a lemon law claim!!

problem w/battery 1st - sorry to hear this. 2nd - what engine, transmission and level do you have? Some of us in the US with 09 4 cyl ww/manuals had battery problems very early (within days of delivery) - mine was replaced and I've had no problems since directly related to the battery. I do...

Mazda & it's dealers I have to support PJM on this because I'm running into the same scenario with Mazda & the dealer. I'm one of the folks who is experiencing a hiccup when on light throttle since I bought the car in Nov. Mazda repair & regional rep have driven car and verified that it's a...

I have 09 6 i GT with manual - engine can get course at times and I've also experienced the frozen ice in wheel vibration (thought the damm thing was going to rip off the lugs!) but no excessive engine vibration. I've had two other mazda 4 cyls before - not Honda/Toyota smooth at all but not...

deo1929 - I've not heard of this but interested to hear if anyone else has. How did you hear that sound that you mention and what lead to the diagnosis? WAs this a sound you hear while driving, while at idle with the hood up? Seems so far outside the norm I'm not sure I'd know the sound if I...

Bucking on Highway update Any resolution/solution? Did the issue go away? Thanks for any updates you have.

Sean that's the first I've heard of it under hard accleration, did it happen just as you initially applied the gas, or was later in the acceleration.? One thing I've noticed in mine is that if I'm doing 40mph in 4/5th gear and behind a car so I'm just cruising along with very light throttle...

The illusionary fix Turns out the fix is not a fix. Mazda Corp told me that a fix had been found and that I should work with dealer & they would work with district rep to figure out next steps for my car. After two calls and 2 weeks, finally got local Service Manager to call me back with news...

hiccups Does your 3 a 2.5 l engine or the 2.0 and also does the 3 have a Drive by wire gas pedal or is there a cable from the accelerator to the throttle body. I ask because several of us with 09 6's and the 2.5l 4 cyl w/manuals are having "hiccups" usually under light throttle or as you...

update january 09 It appears that after some fairly extensive testing of a customer car, Mazda has found a fix for this hiccup/hesitation issue on the 4cyl w/manuals. Some folks describe it as happening at light throttle or as applying throttle, others when engine cold and it maybe a little of...

compass I have an 09 GT and the compass was not offered on any of the US 09s to my knowledge, I believe it's available on the 10's but I'm not sure what model or if it's an option across all levels. I was given a 10 sales brochure with my 09 and it mentioned the compass in the mirror but all...

Fudd thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely give it a try and pass along to some others who were having the same issue.

Update from Maine - Mazda regional rep was in town so dealer took my car on Tuesday for him to drive. he felt/agreed that the "hiccup" was there. He wondered if the faulty battery I had during my 1st week with the car had caused the ECU to malfunction so he reflashed it late yesterday. Dealer...

rx7gslse = what brand of headlight protective film did you buy and are you doing it yourself or having someone install it?

Ernie - see below for my answers (underlined) Okay, then it's probably not just perception. Let's break this down: Initial Visit/Complaint 1) Did they test drive the vehicle? Correct vehicle troubleshooting is a tech rides with you one-way . . . so you can show him when it happens (he may or...

09 2.5L 4cyl w/manual Thanks for your thoughts Ernie - definitely not the parking brake . My hesitation is not at start up or acceleration - those times the engines' fine. It's just at light throttle no matter speed or rpm and it's unpredictable other than the light throttle - though I seem...

If you are driving a 6 with the 4cly & manual can you let me know if you are experiencing the following or can replicate it on your car? Mazda dealer is telling me it's within normal specs but I don't recall it on other 6 manuals I test drove & even if it is in "specs" it's a design flaw as it...
