Anyone from the states know of the parts being in house at any dealership???

It seems pretty interestign that parts made it from Japan to Ottawa in a day. Somethings up.

Except I am betting that the parts were engineered and made in California where Mazda USA is located.

Not according to the Mazda Customer Service, rep I spoke to yesterday. Accoridng to him the parts are being manufacturered in Japan.

But what you say makes more sense especially since people in Vancouver and CA seem to be getting parts before us.

Who knows. I'm calling Mazda again and see if I get a different story.

I just spoke to anotehr Mazda CS rep and he says that the fix for the recall was designed in CA. He isn't sure how people in Ottawa were able to get parts so soon though.

 

[perfecto]

Who's in Ottawa?

Well, I just got off the phone with my dealer and they're saying that the parts have been shipped and they expect them sometime next week and that I should have my car by the 2nd week of Nov.

Heh
I just saw an indigo Mazda5 in an underground parking lot. I don't think that person ever brought their car to the dealer.

I am. I didn't have delivery of the car before the recall, and still won't for a while, but happened to be in the dealership talking to the parts guy who told me the parts arrived that morning. Over his shoulder I saw some 5's up on lifts being repaired, and one back in the showroom.

 

[Antonio DiMarco]

WoooHooo!

I get my car back today. They are going to wash her, and give her a full tank of gas, as well as all the compensation outlined above.

Happy day!

Dealer called me this afternoon and my 5 is ready! Going to pick-it up tomorrow am! (yippy)

Wonderful congrads. Enjoy it.

Called the dealer yesterday - they're saying early next week. Guess I'll take the loaner through the carwash before I bring it back.

Don't forget to top it off too. They'll probably charge you 6 bucks a gallon if you don't. (boom07)

My rental 6 used to be blue.

I had intentions on washing it but it got cold here. I called my dealer and they have no word on parts still, so Ill be with the mazda formerly known as blue for a bit more. Maybe its possiblt to clean it using the parking break in the rain? To ***** it out even more im taken it somewhere on sunday that is the death to all cars.............................michigan....yes, thats right I75 all the way up to taylor...the potholes, the a-holes, the crazy no light lane crossings, itll destroy any automobile. Wish me luck. (thumb)
