    2016 GT too many miles?

    First time poster here, I have been looking at getting a used CX-5 for a couple months and really have been looking for a good deal. I test drove the 2016 GT and really fell in love. I just found a 2016 Touring near my area that has 71,000 miles on it for just under $16k. It has the GT wheels...

    Hey guys, Just wanted to inform you that there is a TSB for fading leather steering wheels on the 2016 Mazda6. The leather type has been known to have the outer coating fade away very early into the vehicles life. It has also been mentioned in other forums that it is also very easy to nick the...

    Not Happy. DRL out of warranty.

    I know Mazda has a problem with the DRL's. I didn't mind to much when under warranty. Drivers side replaced after 24months. Now at 39 months, passengers side is out. Not under warranty. Originally was quoted $1250 + tax. Called Mazda HQ in Irvine. Being my 3rd CX, they said they could do $450...

    2016 CX-9 Warranty

    After test-driving the 2016 CX-9 GT for the fourth time today, I've decided to take the plunge and buy this car. I am really looking forward to this -- and thank all of you for answering questions earlier in the process. The one remaining question is about warranty. Given the amount of...

    Factory Warranty Underwriter?

    I was just speaking with a sales manager about the Mazda Extended Confidence Warranty. I expressed concerns about it being underwritten by a third party (Warrantech) rather than the OEM itself. He told me that ALL of Mazda's warranties are handled through Warrantech, even the CPO warranties and...

    Turbo replaced, now consuming oil ... dealer says 'it's normal"

    Pretty much says it all. Turbo replaced under warranty due to smoking at idle. They also replaced the breathing system w/new valve cover, with the hopes of that fixing the smoking turbo, first. Now it's consuming about a quart per 1000 miles. I have to go in to talk to them today. They had...

    BEWARE 2014 Mazda3 hatchback caliper and brakes!

    Wanted to warn customers of the 2014 Mazda3 hatchback having manufacturing issues right at the plant. They are sending out new cars without being tested properly. I could have been killed a week ago when I lost my brakes and my caliper fell off. I only have 12,000 KM on the car it's brand new...

    How to avail warranty ?

    I just bought a used 2013 Mazda 3 iSV (from a private party, not a dealer). It still has warranty, although the guy I got it from did not share any relevant documents. A week later, I feel hear a screeching sound whenever I start the engine and turn my steering. There is no such sound when I am...

    Mazda Extended Confidence Plan

    From my research this seems to be mazdas official extended warranty. Has anyone here considered it for their cx5? Can you quote your price and coverage? I found an older thread from 2012 discussing this, http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123813028-Extended-Warranty, but perhaps some...

    Warranty refused on 2011 CX-9

    Hi, I took my CX9 in for 30K maintenance - made them aware of a noise we've been hearing since the day we bought the car. When we took it in for maintenance the "Check engine" light had come on, but Oil level light was not lit; and the Engine temp indicators were not showing anything. We had...

    Effects of mod's or aftermarket installs on factory warranty?

    There are several things on my list for my '13 5 Touring: LED DRL (done,) GPS install, LED rear reflectors, roof rack, and maybe heated mirrors down the road. All awesome write-up from this forum's members. Thanks! However, I'm concerned about how some of these may or may not affect the factory...

    Spacers - Noob questions

    So I've never had spacers installed on my previous vehicles but I'm thinking about purchasing front and rear v2 spacers from Ichiba purely for aesthetic reasons, making the car look beefier with the wider stance. I think it definitely needs a better stance but I can't afford new wheels and...

    63K and a blown head gasket?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need advice!

    Not sure what, but something really bad went wrong with our Mazda3 yesterday. We had just loaded up to go to a B-Day party and were going up a moderately steep hill about one block from our place, and there was a popping sound. The car seemed to lose some power and when I looked in the rear...

    Tokico HPK247 (blues) shock and spring kit -- anyone having issues?

    Ok, my Tokicos are just over 14 months old and the rears are leaking. Anyone have a similar issue? How good is the Tokico warranty? Did they take care of you? If Tokico DOESN'T warranty these, suggestions? Does this mean I should go coil-over? If so, which one? I'm primarily interested in...

    Dealer sold me a 3rd party warranty, thought it was a mazda warranty.

    I bought a 2010 CX-9 GT w/bose/moonroof/navigation (guess kinda introducting myself here) a few days ago. In the finance process, I was offered an extended warranty, which being that I was in a mazda dealer, and the way the finance person was talking about it, I assumed was a mazda factory...

    Mazda Dealer glued my transmission back together!!

    I brought my 2004 MX5 mazdaspeed (with 28K) to the Toady Mazda Lincoln Mercury in Oxnard, CA here about a year and a half ago just before the warranty ended. I had been smelling some burning oil/exhaust after driving the car hard. They took a look and told me that the rear seal on the rear of...
