Im dropping my car at the dealership tonight and leaving it for tomorrow morning and their going to do some of the work i need done on it.....

oil change
bushings
rusted bolt problems
he' sgoing to look into the 2nd and 3rd gear problems
and the rear door squeek ( AKA the Rear window squeek)

he said that they have done all those repairs except the trans....

and the so called problem people have with the rattle in the rear window is not the rear window its the rear passenger door. and now all my doors are doing it occassionally.
so hopefully they will fix all the problems and they dont come back.....

and hopefully it wont take more than 1 day....

what's this rusted bolts problem that people are talking about? Which bolts?

supposedly all dealerships got a bulletin about some rusted bolts on the MP3's... i think they may be on the sway bars... the service manager said that he has replaced 2 total sway bar assemblies on 2 mp3's... so most dealerships know about it.. just ask your dealership tomorrow about it....

thanks for the heads up. My car is going in this week to get the rear speakers replaced. One of them started rattling ages ago. They have to replace 2 of them because the warranty replacement can only send a pair.....oh darn. They come straight from Kenwood and not Mazda. Just in case someone else has to go through this, you know now. They had ordered in the wrong ones at first. They got the normal ES speakers and realized they had to actually contact Kenwood. No offense, but the ES stereo sucks. So does the rest of Mazda stereo's actually. Ever hear the one in their vans? with the "subwoofer" in the back...crap. Nice decks, nice looking, but sounds fugly. My speakers were actually rattling when I got the car. I kinda know what happened. My car was ordered from another dealer and shipped to my dealer here. I'm pretty sure someone was "playing" with it before it got here and f'd one of the speakers. I just been too busy to bother getting it replaced until now. It's really not that bad, but it's under warranty so...


Anyhow, I'll get the bolts checked at the same time.

Thanks again.
