So she somehow thinks Mazda should have a full warranty at 126,000 miles. Unreal. Literally over twice the promised mileage (industry standard). Do people think a warranty is supposed to be unlimited?She posted on many threads telling others not to get a Mazda because of her experience.

That's exactly the same choice we faced with our CX-5. But if Mazda hasn't made upgraded parts available, what's the point? Won't we have the same issues down the road?
is there any preventive measures that can be taken before the cylinder head cracks? has it been determined why some vehicles are affected or is it just a matter of time until all vehicles are affected?
You're in luck! You can get their newly developed 3.3 i6 engine!!Well, one thing's for sure...I will never be purchasing another 2.5L engine in any Mazda vehicle until this mess is solved. I'm just amazed it hasn't had any more publicity than the little I've seen on various forums.
The only people who get decent compensation on a class action lawsuit are the lawyers.There is a class action lawsuit investigation currently underway regarding this problem for the CX-5 and CX-9 models. I provided them my info for the head replacement repair that was made to our 2016 CX-9. Mazda CX-5 and CX-9 Engine Coolant Leak Defect – Class Action Investigation | Sauder Schelkopf Attorneys at Law
Thank you for the NHTSA link. I'll be submitting a report shortly.Posted this over in EMANMAZDA's thread and thought I should add it here also.

Just adding my experience to keep this thread going. Have a 2018 CX-9 (2.5T) with 116,000 mi, car went into Mazda service today after smelling coolant in the garage for a few days. Inspection showed the cracked cylinder head. ~$8,000 repair cost, powertrain warranty expired at 80k.
I submitted the NHTSA report, and will probably sign on to the Sauder|Schelkopf class action investigation.
I'll reach out to Mazda NAO but won't hold my breath on that one.
While I certainly understand your feelings, it appears this is the only way that Mazda can be held to account for the extraordinarily expensive failure.The only people who get decent compensation on a class action lawsuit are the lawyers.
