Bringing it to the dealer AGAIN!

[knowledge007]

That's not a bad thing - that means they're actually putting time and effort and not taking 3 peices of metal, filling them with epoxy and calling them motor mounts. =)

lmao...well put

I had a similar problem with a 06 mazda 3, less than a year, on its 3rd engine and 3rd transmission, the dealership paid for all the repairs so after alot of meetings and talks with the regional representitive about arbitration there was an agreement to trade in the car for the speed 3, only money loss was for the usage of the mazda3 for a year

3 times, wow.
Did they forget to lock tite the bolt everytime or what?

I wonder if Mazda is even saving money by not recalling their mounts. Having to replace engines and trans seems alot more expensive.

Shouldn't be getting a speed3.

the first time the engine ceazed up, something about the bearings in the pistons were worn out/faulty, and when i got the car back 11 hours later the engine literally just dropped out and broke the radiator pump on the way down... their excuse was that when they took the engine out for the initial repairs they cut the bracket that holds the engine in place instead of takeing the whole thing apart and when replacing it they didnt reweld it properly... and i'm paying the difference to upgrade to the speed3 instead of getting the mazda 3 again

I just hope things work out for ya Nondual that is all.

So far, the car's working out for me again. Alhambra wants me to bring it up there in early April so some Mazda Big-Wigs can look at it. They said they'd give me some vouchers and a rental - maybe it'd be enough for an intake?

^Ooh, free stuff - can't turn that down. =D

I wouldn't ever go back to that dealership if I were you.....
