| Valve stem sheared off of tire pressure sensor. i had the car serviced yesterday. during the oil change, the technician also inflated the tires to 32lbs each. today the tire pressure monitoring system indicated a low tire. passenger rear tire was 23.5 pounds. as i was putting air in the tire, the valve stem literally sheared off causing complete loss of air and a flat tire. i went to the dealer and the tire pressure sensor needed to be replaced. out of pocket cost: $130.78. upon inspection of the valve stem, galvanic corrosion can be clearly seen. photo available on request. | |||

| I heard chirping noise from the car and took it to a dealer who wasn't able to reproduce the noise but the noise came back and with in the next 10 days it got worse. the dealer told that there was a leakage from exhaust donut and exhaust heat shield had to be fixed. i got them fixed and after 3 days and less than 100 miles i hear the chirping noise again and this time it is louder. i can hear it even when the car is parked. | |||

| While driving at 55 mph, the low pressure warning light came on. i attempted to get to a safe place to check my tire but the tire went flat too quickly. i had to change the tire on the road. the tire pressure monitoring device had failed and fallen inside the tire resulting in a rapid pressure drop. corrosion had caused the nut to break apart and fall off. within 6 months the same thing happened on a different tire. driving at 55 mph, the warning light came on and i immediately pulled over to watch my tire rapidly going flat - all within about 20 seconds. i changed my tire on a very busy highway. i was lucky that this did not happen on a multi-lane thruway. this is a very serious safety hazard - the mandated safety device is the cause of the hazard. | |||

| 2009 mazda isport has gone through two complete sets of brakes, rotors, and pads and it only has 22,000 miles on it. the brake pedal is very inconsistent when applied. sometimes it goes all the way to the floor and sometimes it only travels a small distance. it's much worse when the dsc is engaged. | |||
