| My car was parked, went inside store for a minute, came out and it wouldn't start. no lights prior, and i take meticulous care of my car. after a failed jump, tow was issued. the mechanic says it's a starter failure- at 42,000 miles on a brand new factory line car. now mazda will not respond to complaints, and attempts at reaching any supervisors have been negated. car has been immobile for over two weeks. 42,000 is a premature failure for a brand new factory part- and the car company should pay to replace a defective portion of the vehicle. *tr | |||

| Both rear tire pressure sensors failed due to either over-tightening or corrosion. both sensors snapped off right below the sensor stem cap causing both rear tires to deflate. on a newer car still under warranty, mazda claims sensors are only covered until 36000 miles. and they're not cheap either ($80 each, not including installation.) | |||

| I was driving on the freeway after leaving class. after being on the freeway for about 5 minutes, the car starts to power down. all of the caution lights start to come on (ie: battery light, traction light, oil light and many others). as i get off the freeway, the car starts to lose more power, the fuel acceleration did not work as well and the steering became very hard because something happened to the power steering fluid. then as i start to pull into a parking lot there is smoke coming from both sides of the closed hood. i put the car in park, turn off the acceleration, and pop the hood and i noticed it is on fire. i ran from car and called the fire department. after all is said and done, the car is totaled. i am not sure what components malfunctioned in the car which insurance is determining at the moment. this is a mazda defect!!!!! | |||
