2006 Mazda 3 review from North America
"Car OK, but the warranty SUCKS"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
25th Jan 2008, 12:47
I have replaced first engine after 5,000 miles, and now at 15,000 another one bites the dirt. Mazda replaced the first one and now they are saying there was no oil in the motor, well I checked it before I had it towed and there was oil in the car.
I also checked it before the tow truck arrived.
The transmission went out at 9,009 miles.. I have complained to Mazda and the car is still at the dealership. I would like to find someone else to complain to and maybe get it fixed.
I have made several calls to Customer Service Division and all they would say is the dealer ship said it came in with little or no oil; that is after several other excuses, Now they are saying, I do not have the proper records, well I proved them with all the oil changes and maintenance on the car. But they say since it was not done at the dealership, that these records are no good and I need to go back to the person that changed the oil and have them fix the engine.
Or does anyone know of a law firm that is in some type of law suit to help us get this fixed? Please HELP.
MAZDA SUCKS...
General comments?
I don't think I would recommend buying from MAZDA to anyone. For the ones that have one, wait until you really have a problem and need it fixed.
