I'z a happy boy!

agree about ball busting hottie
really glad to hear you got both problems fixed. My airbag light is still intermittent off and on. Today off. At least your experiece will help me talk to the service folk.
I wish you didn't have to do without your car for so long. Suprised you aren't out playing. I know if I couldn't drive mine for a couple days I would be making up for lost time. And that statement coming from an old dude who should be tired of driving. But, this car is so much fun.
Did they give you a reason for and what they did to correct the pulling?
and
Congratulations!!!!

Something tells me that they are going to bend over backwards to make you happy. Call it a hunch.
My mechanic said that sometimes he's noticed funny tire wear from taking the same highway ramps at high speeds. I can't really say if he's full of crap or not but with these soft tires, it wouldn't surprise me. I think I remember it pulling from day 1 but on about day 4 (300 miles), I was out beating on it at a local Mazda meet/drive.
Either way, they racked it, tweaked it and now it's perfect. I think they cross-rotated the tires, too. I just washed it and the dirtier wheels were on the front. I've heard that the rears gather brake dust faster than the fronts. If that's true, then it would seem the did the rotation.
RE: Airbag sensors, my guy said that sometimes the connector under the seat has pin problems. He said he has to take them apart, de-pin the connectors, squeeze the pins tighter and then re-assemble the connectors. That would definitely cause an intermittant problem like you're experiencing. If your service guys don't want to do all that, you could probably do it yourself if you're the least bit handy.
Oh... just over 2400 miles. I was only without the car for two days, so I can live with it. I tell ya one thing, though... that Freestar was like driving a marshmallow!! Everything was soft. The ride, the brakes, the steering, the acceleration... everything! Gah! (blarf) I almost think I should have spent the extra $2 per day and gotten an LS.
