On Nov 6th i took my car to the dearer for a second time for them to try and fix the overboosting problem that i was having. On Nov 15th i called them to check on the status, they told me some bulls*** story that they lost my contact info (this was the second time its been to this dealer) i was like ok what ever, is the problem fixed they said yes, i told them i would be in to pick it up.

I went and picked her up that afternoon and when i left the lot the bpv did not sound right, it sounded like it was venting to atmosphere, i was what ever i dont and continued to drive home and soon as i gave her some gas she boosted right to 15, and started making a horrible grinding sound. I Turned around and went back to the dealer and the service manager came out and asked what the problem was i told him the fucken thing is still broke, He tried to give me some bulls*** about how the car didnt come from mazda with the turbo kit that it was put on at the port, i told him what does that have to do with anything.

I made him go for a test drive with me so he would see that it is still over boosting to 15psi and hitting fuel cut, and here what it sounded like when the turbo was spooling, finaly after driving for abit he told me a specialist from jacksonvill fl, was coming on Nov 17th to do some work and they would have him look at it. Well i got a call on the 17th in the after noon, and they told me it was the trubo and they ordered a new one and would be in, in a week. That would have been Nov 24 (my birth day), i waited till after the holiday and called that friday to see if they got the trubo in, they told me it hasnt come in yet.

I waited till the first of Dec to call them, still no turbo.
I called on the 6th, still no trubo and they have no idea where it is or when it coming.

As of right now i havnt called them since the 6th, and i havnt heard anything from them. Im going to call tomarrow and find out what the **** is going.

The only good thing about this whole this is, they are coving it under warrenty and i got a rental that they are paying for (wich im beating the s*** out of) and i dont have to put premium gas in (saves me some money)
and im not putting miles on my car.

I just want to get my car back, its hard picking up chicking a pos ford focus.
 
I have had my 2003 msprotege in for waranty work 7 times i have not even owned the car a year.i was turning and something broke. I called roadside assistance they told me they could not get a tow truck. So i had to get my own when i get my car to the dealer they told me it was the clutch. they made me pay 1,100 bucks i told them it could not be the clutch they argued with me. I talked to the service manager he gave me the sales manager the sales manager gave me costumer service then the gave me mazda parts department. The parts department told me i could not make a complaint without my vin #. I told her my car was at the shop she said i'm sorry then she tried to tell me i had aftermarket parts on my car so i had voided my waranty.everything is stock. Then after i got the service department to tell her it was stock she tried to accuse me of racing and she said that had voided my warranty. They had no proof and not to mention i really wasn't racing anybody at the time. Nobody wanted to except responsibility for mazdas **** up. it took two weeks and a mazda tech from another dealer to finally tell me that it was not the clutch it was my LSD. so i was finally got my money back. But if your dealership is as bad as mine here in Corpus Christi Texas I FEEL YOUR PAIN BRO BELIEVE ME. It is not really the car i am disapointed in it is the dealership The service it is horrible It took the two in a half months just to get me a new shift nob.
 
Damn, that sucks, is there another dealer you can go to? This is the worst car I've owned as far as having work done on it. My 2000 civic si never gave me any problems, I wish i never traded it in. My radio has stopped working twice, had new sway bar bushings put in( still clunking), The dealer replaced a hose for the coolant leak, but it still smells like antifreeze every time i drive it. I had the ecu reflash, but that didn't seem to do anything. I fixed the hesitation myself by putting 10 psi in the engine.
 
the stealer i mean dealer just called me bout 30mins ago and said that she is ready, so ill pick her up tomarrow morning, and hopfuly the problems were fixed
 
Call MAzda NA and b**** up a storm. Last time my car was in for more then a week, they paid my car payment (pro rated for the 3 weeks it was in) :D
 
while my MSP was at the dealership they vandalized it and tried to get me to pay for it. My insurance agent even said it didn't look like thugs....someone knew what they were doing...
 
Rick Case Mazda at gwinnett mall was working it.

And shes not overbossting or hitting fuel cut anymore BUT there is still a wistle i think the bpv is leaking, but they replaced it once but that was the first time they said they fixed the over boosting so i proboly poped the new pbv.
 
umm also i would do a compression test and make sure they didnt bend a rod or something with this overboosting problem...
 
i got whole new turbo kit so they say. i didnt get much drive time today but i will tomarrow. it just sucks that its cold as s*** now.

that sucks dude... sounds like Mazda is worse than Subaru when it comes to warranty work.

I for one hate going to stealerships to have ANYHTING done...hell I hate going to them to just buy parts!

This one sales guy at Roswell Mazda keeps trying to talk me into trading him my black rotas for his stock 14" wheels on his black miata. To make it worse, he wants to trade straight up... yea sure buddy you keep on that crack...

Do you by chance have a (yellow) hard top on your Miata?
