air conditioning, brakes, spontaneous stalling, poor seat cushions that led to me to rid myself of this car
 
With what model year of Mazda3 were you having problems?

I've had no problems with any of those items on my 2007; perhaps the parts in question have been upgraded.

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???

Mazda 3 Fails to Start by johnrhorton

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. Thanks

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.

It was a 2004
 
That was the first model year of the Mazda3. Several owners have posted problems with the AC for that year. Eventually, it got reworked but that's not a solution for the owners of that year's model. That's where good customer relations is critical; manufacturers should recognize these design flaws as early as possible and not shift the blame to customers.
 
On the other hand, we customers should be mindful of the possibility of design issues in certain situations (e.g. new model years). Consumer Reports has noted that even the top car manufacturers have problems in their initial releases of a new model. For example, the current Toyota Camry V6 has been experiencing an inordinate number of complaints about the transmission. My brother owns one and so far has had no problems with his.

How many miles do you have on the car? Is it due for a tune up? You are certain the engine is getting spark, was that tested?

Re: Dead/Drained Battery [autonomous] by blatz

Update. I have had the car back for a week. The dealer was unable to duplicate the issue of not starter/draining the battery. The "regional technical people" were called in by Mazda to assess the issue. According to the regional tech, whenever he sees this, it's either the alternator, the radio display or the trunk latch. Because none of those 3 were stand out issues with my car, the dealer replaced all three and declared the issue would be taken care of. So far so good. But the dead battery issue usually resurfaces after about 6 weeks to 2 months. Both the service advisor and I are in "wait and see" mode at this point. Hopefully it was one of the 3 items they replaced.
