They are supposed to update it this winter. Let's see then if there's something about "clunks" from the rear bushings and "squeaks" from the front ones. I still have to see this..

The TSB about the clunk is here

Thanks buddy. I wonder why there's nothing about the front noise in cold weather as well though since this problem seems to occur on most MP3s.

too many people think its normal, and don't say anything. If people let them know about it, and they have a problem with it, then if enough of those people have called Mazda on it, then it would maybe become a tsb. Even if Mazda knows, they won't issue a TsB unless they NEED to. All about the benjamins, not customer satisfaction.

what about the whole weak motor mount thing?

 

[scott42]

I think that's a personal preference type thing isn't it? I haven't heard much about them, other than that they are softer than most people prefer. Have there been any failures of motor mounts?

Which generation is the MP3? 3?

Also, all these TSB's should be fixed regardless of warranty, correct? Since I bought mine used.

 

[scott42]

used or new, warrantly should still cover as long as you are in the window. 3yrs/50k miles. MP3 is 3rd gen.
enjoy!

I dont' have a physical warranty. Like, no paper work. Is that okay?

 

[scott42]

I went to a different dealer than I bought mine from, and never had to produce paperwork...so, I don't see why it would hurt to ask...I wouldnt even tell them you bought it used. I'd just say you're looking for a better dealer to work with...
