Mazda 3s - Winning Blue
This week i took my car for service because I had some complaints.
1. My breaks were to noisy
2. The steering wheel was also to noisy
3. My A/C while driving some times didn't blow cold air
4. My suspension had some noise in the front right in bumpy streets.
5. And my car was one of the recall for the airbag sensor, but hadn't received the letter yet.

So, to make this short im going to tell you what they did to my car.
1. For the breaks (in the front) they did a service bulleting, and in the back they did some adjustments in the supplements of the pads (sorry for the translation my english is not excellent)
2. For the sound of the steering wheel they found the top of the two bottles (sorry but i dont know if this is the right way to say it in english) damage. They order those parts under warranty.
3. The a/c they found that it was low on refrigerant or gas. So they replaced the new refrigerant.
4. For the suspension they said that this car has a sport suspension and that all the cars sounded like that. I didn't eat that, but i'll go another day if it keeps bothering me.
5. And for the recall the guy was a pain in the b-t because he didn't want to do the recall just because i didn't have the letter. So I called Mazda distributors i Puerto Rico and they said that he could check in the system and see if I qualified for the recall. So I called him back and explained what they had told me so he got pi-t just because I had gone over him. So, i called mazda again and they spoke with him and my car has now the recall ( I hope so :))

So thank you for reading, I just wanted to share.
Bye, Bye
Enjoy your Christmas , Zoom, Zoom
 
The suspension is probably your sway bar bushings. How cold is it in PR? I know for all of the US guys, anytime it drops below 60 the front bushings sweek like crazy when going over bumps. After driving for 20 minutes or so they warm up and the squeaking stops.

Try getting new sawy bar bushings and see if that fixes the problem. And while you are at it, get the new rear sway bar bushings too, there is a TSB on those so they should be free.
