Problems

So I've got most of these problems with my car. One that I haven't seen elsewhere is a shift in my idling.
I'll be driving on the highway and then at an off-ramp red light, the idle will just drop and jolt to the whole car. That can't be good.
 
Hesitation
coolant leak
craked front windshield
upper ic nipple broke
warped front rotors
Clunk from rear bushings
rusty as hell brake hubs
Crunch from front bushings when cold
squeak from rear bushings
Shifter squeeks while shifting
Compressor surge
clutch does not come up when i lift off fast

Holy freakin hell

I thought I was trippin, mine started grinding @ less than 4000 and now @ almost 9 its still the same and I have just not taken the time to take it in. So... I guess I will be maken that phone call in the morn to make an appointment to see what they say and I will post the finding & results.

Dog Damn it ! What happen to the first 1? OK 1.hesitation 2.bushing 3.coolent leak STILL will be the 5th time to take it in just for that as of now it is @ a half of a bottal or less still have the smell ever time I stop. 4. power cut 5. kicks back for no reason. 6. pulls to the right. etc etc the next time I drive I will take notice.(uhm)

4/25/04MORE (poke) 7. POWER surge, 8. Uneven ware on rotors 9. RUST on all four rotors not just on the contact points, inside and out. 10. 1 coat of paint no sign of primer. Hope I don't have to come back and ad MORE ! (pissed)

4/26/04 ; 11. Thought I better start dating these, OMG the MPG, I filled it up to day $22 and I reset my [A]odometer ever time I fill up(argh)(argh) I had 301 miles on a full tank of 93 Octain (argh) (argh) , I get better mpg with my 86 Honda Prelude that has 13" wheels and doing 90. I was under the impression that the turbo was suppose to give better mpg. 12. I had the new rear bushing put on weeks after I bought the car BUT today I heard it again ! ! !

OK I called them up this morn and luckily they were slow so they told me to come on in, of course it damp and drizzling this morn and when they check it out the pucker wouldnt do it so... they asked me if I could make it do it. I tried with no luck. Now I have to go back when the sun is out and the air is some what DRY.(bang)

Mazda needs to see this thread!! The result needs to be an extension of warranty or a buy-back option. I have already wasted so much god damn time and money taking my car in and dealing with these problems. Thanks BoostisGood for starting this thread.
