#4197 of 4532 Re: Mazda 3 Security Improvements Program ?? [wildthing] by tarheelschik Feb 01, 2008 (6:05 pm)
Replying to: wildthing (Feb 01, 2008 9:44 am) I own an 04 Mazda 3, and have had it since the beginning of 05, and have not received a letter regarding this yet. It sounds like something they should be contacting us all about, unless it is the owners of Mazda's in certain cities. Did it list the cities that were being targeted?

Replying to: tarheelschik (Feb 01, 2008 6:05 pm) WIldthing said, "break-in's in certain unnamed cities". Thanks for the heads up WildThing. I just bought a 2007 hatchback. Not good news. Please keep us updated on your experience with upgrading the car doors as well as the security system use choose to install if you end up doing that. Appreciate it!

Replying to: gretsch6120 (Feb 02, 2008 10:07 am) I probably should have added that the letter came from Mazda Canada and specifically referred to "reports received have been isolated to a few Canadian cities ", which they don't name.   As mentioned they also suggest "if you have not done so already, you may wish to consider the purchase of a shock sensor alarm system", for which Mazda will "rebate to you up to $100 towards the purchase and installation...". This offer is valid until March 1, 2008.   I'm waiting for the call from my dealership but if I havn't heard from them in a couple of weeks I will call them.   As for the after market sensor system, I don't plan on getting one....any car can be stolen....thieves can defeat any system. The Mazda's already include an engine immobalizer which at least keeps the amateurs away..the professionals are going to get the car no matter what system you have...just my $0.02..

Replying to: wildthing (Feb 02, 2008 12:56 pm) That's very true about anyone being able to steal it if they want it. Thanks for heads up about the letter, and let us know how it all turns out and what you end up doing about it!
#4201 of 4532 Roadside Assistance Extension by wildthing Feb 04, 2008 (12:28 pm)
Mazda's 3 year Roadside Assistance Program has run out on my Mazda 3. Has anyone in Canada tried to extend this program and if so, what did Mazda charge you for the extension.   Not sure if Mazda will even allow you to extend. GM did it for a GM car I owned a number of years ago for a nominal annual fee.   What are my other Roadside Assistance program options (CAA ??)

Replying to: wildthing (Feb 04, 2008 12:28 pm) The CAA program is probably the better value. Replies to this message: wildthing (Feb 04, 2008 7:09 pm)

Replying to: autonomous (Feb 04, 2008 2:33 pm) Ordinarily you would be right except I forgot to add that I have to cover the family, essentially four drivers and since the CAA membership covers individuals and not cars I'm looking at about $300 + for all four of us,,,,Is this still cheaper than what Mazda would charge for extended coverage for the car ??
#4204 of 4532 Re: Mazda 3 Break In Problem [jhindson] by zoomgirl Feb 04, 2008 (8:48 pm)
Replying to: jhindson (Oct 24, 2006 6:30 pm) i just got my car broken into last week, same dent, just under my window...and what a piss off. if it wasnt for the mess they left from emptying out my glove compartment, i would have never noticed!!! how can it be so easy and nothing is being done??? ur posts are from 2006 which really disappoints, has nothing been done since? the cop that called me back regarding the theft (or vandelizing) said that mazda is on their way to getting a recall letter out. when i called my dealer, they confirmed that they were aware of the probem and there was in fact a recall...i will just keep busting til i get it fixed! kind of erry when you think that when i bought the car, it was voted car of the year in terms of security, and now it's the yr's most stolen car...i could just imagine the field trip the insurance will have with this!

#4206 of 4532 it's been awhile, but goodbye anyway by namiboy Feb 06, 2008 (3:59 pm)
well my wife traded in her 2005 mazda 3 for a 2008 scion xb. i wouldn't have even thought of looking at an xb but she wanted to. it's got a 2.4liter/158hp camry engine, and it handles surprisingly well, so i guess i can live with it. the air blows real well too, even on 1. so, good luck friends.
