The engine light kept coming on sporadically every time we check it out it goes back out then the oil light came on we had the oil replaced then the car just shut off we then took the car to a mazda dealership who said the header broke completely off the camshaft and it would be $5,000 to fix our warranty had expired by 42 days and they refused to honor an extension and told us to pay or take the car off the premises. i contacted the mazda warranty dept who refused to extend it and i also spoke with the dealer who sold me the car who said there was nothing he could do about it. even the account representative handling my finance account could do nothing to help. this car is only three years old and we only had it for 13 months with only one prior owner damage of this caliber without having been involved in an accident is a bit extreme. other mazda owner have been experiencing the same problem seems like an engine defect. |
