| Aug 201766340 miA $790 | There was a leaking oil filter which only needed to have a new seal and not the whole filter fitted. Mazda dealer used the excuse that there aren't seals available to which I said yes there is seals available. To which I told him rather than keep the repairs cheap and use a 50c seal you want to gouge the owners and charge $390.00 plus labour. Eventually he credited $144.00 for labour plus other incidentals of $15.00 but I told them I wasn't happy with their service and to top it off they stole my parking card which I use when I travel to work in the city. | ||

| Jul 20086000 mi | Hesitation/stumbling under hot or cold conditions. TSB available for fuel pump and/or PCM reprogram. Dealer states turbo lag is problem and vehicle acting normally. Poor A/C performance at 95F+ temperatures. A/C cools barely "adequately" under hot circumstances. Extended idling or in traffic driving yields poor performance. Tech says cools to Mazda specs. | ||
