#4104 of 4532 Service, please by autonomous Dec 10, 2007 (1:59 pm)
Replying to: retailroy (Dec 10, 2007 10:12 am) hated dealing with Mazda factory people I think you mean dealing with staff at Mazda dealerships (unless you travelled to Japan for service ). Service can be problematic if the manufacturer does not provide service information beyond the dealership. In Canada, the independent service garages are mounting a campaign to have manufacturers forced to disclose their service information more widely. My experience with my Mazda dealership has been on the whole very positive. I'd recommend getting to know the service advisors, picking one you trust and dealing with him/her on a regular basis. I have had the fortune of finding a straight-talking, knowledgeable and informative one with whom I feel confident doing business.

Replying to: autonomous (Dec 10, 2007 1:59 pm) Actually I did mean the factory people. It was their lack of concern and deception in regard to the air conditioning, brakes, spontaneous stalling, poor seat cushions that led to me to rid myself of this car. For the most part the local people at another Mazda dealership tried their best but you can not cure an engineering screw up with the ac at the dealership level. I am not a nubie to Mazda, we have owned 11 of them but will probably not buy another for a long time. I am happy that you have been pleased with your service and hope that you do not have an issue that requires the factory, god help you. On two occassions on csi reports after work on the car I addressed specific issues to the factory, zero response, rest assured if I had made negative comments about the dealership, they would have been called on the carpet and I would have received immediate attention from the local dealer, kind of ironic, shortly after the above mentioned problems that I had with the car and many others at this site experienced, my local dealer gave up the franchise.

#4109 of 4532 sunroof issue by m3fan3 Dec 11, 2007 (6:25 pm)
i have a 2006 mazda 3 with a sunroof. just today my sunroof didn't open, it tilted but not opened. after playing around with it i figured out that the rubber around the glass is what's stopping it from opening. i'm assuming that i need to put some kind lubricate or something on it. does any one know what lubricant to use???

#4110 of 4532 Mazda 3 Fails to Start by johnrhorton Dec 12, 2007 (7:28 am)
Twice I have had the following problem with my 2005 Mazda3. Drive for awhile, turn the car off and it then fails to start, the engine cranks but will not fire, All warning lights seem to be normal. Come back several hours later and the car starts as normal, again to check engine lights etc. Dealer cannot find the problem. Anyone have a similar problem.

Replying to: autonomous (Dec 11, 2007 2:00 pm) It was a 2004. Never had such a run around on a new car in my life. Replaced it with a 2007 v6 camry se, nice car, but the three was more fun to drive. The factory was absolutely useless, very disappointed. If you have screwed up, try to fix it, not the mantra of the new Mazda I am afraid. Replies to this message: autonomous (Dec 12, 2007 9:59 am)
