#4468 of 4532 Re: 2008 3i Touring Manual update [nsbio1] by autonomous Apr 15, 2009 (1:59 pm)
Replying to: nsbio1 (Apr 08, 2009 4:46 pm) heard a scratching/scraping sound and a lamp on the panel went off ... I realized it was power steering light ...After restarting, the light went away and power steering was restored. Check under the car for any sign of damage. Once I ran over a speed bump a little too quickly and that bump damaged the underside of the car which became evident by a slow leak of the power steering fluid. You could also mention it the next time you bring the car in for service. Replies to this message: nsbio1 (Apr 16, 2009 6:56 pm) autonomous (Apr 17, 2009 9:29 am)

Replying to: autonomous (Apr 15, 2009 1:59 pm) Thanks, autonomous. I will definitely bring that up the next time I am at the dealer.   I did check the PS fluid and it has stayed at MAX all the time, so I do not think there is a leak. In my amateur opinion, this must have been an electrical and perhaps not unusual glitch in the system, since troubleshooting of this exact situation is even mentioned in the owner's manual... Hopefully, this will be a one-time occurrence. Replies to this message: autonomous (Apr 17, 2009 9:29 am)

Does anyone know the model number and manufacturer of the 5 speed manual used in the 2009 Mazda 3?
#4472 of 4532 Clicking / Creaking noise from Seatbelt ... by stacylim Apr 22, 2009 (1:44 pm)
I have been chasing a creaking noise for weeks - it sounds like it is coming from the area where the seat belt attaches to the car - I still can not exactly ensure where it is from.    I have lubed everything. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work, it always comes back. I do not know how to fix this problem....does anyone know how to resolve it?

#4473 of 4532 Tires rubbing off paint? by jandr Apr 30, 2009 (9:46 am)
My red 08's stock tires/wheels appear to be scraping the paint off of the inner part of the rocker-panel trim pieces. I travel on a couple miles of bumpy dirt road every day but not at breakneck speed. Anyone else experience this problem?

Replying to: blueiedgod (Mar 27, 2009 8:41 am) Get the adaptor from your Mazda dealer, its the filter housing used on the 2.0 it bolts right on. no mod necessary
#4475 of 4532 Re: Clicking / Creaking noise from Seatbelt ... [stacylim] by nsbio1 May 02, 2009 (5:23 am)
Replying to: stacylim (Apr 22, 2009 1:44 pm) It is a known thing with a number of Mazda3s, for which there is a Technical Service Bulletin. Bring it to your dealer and they will fix it for you.   I have the same noise residing in my seat buckle, but since the creaking noise only happens intermittently and mostly at around 40F, I usually forget about it by the time my car is at a dealer for an oil change.

#4476 of 4532 Mazda3 chair fabric issues by sonnyrocker May 12, 2009 (4:44 am)
My driver seat is having some abnormal wear and tear. The lower area where it supports my back - on the left side soft plush black area - the fabric surface is getting a lot of fuzz and linen pop up. Anyone experiences that? I only have the car for about 2 months. I am thinking taking it back and get them to replace the seat.
#4477 of 4532 Clutch Noise by roger341 May 13, 2009 (11:12 am)
Started to notice a short squeaking noise when clutch is released while changing gears.   Not coming from pedal itself.   Clutch fluid ok.   04 with less than 30,000 miles. Just wondering if this could be serious. No slippage of any kind or any other abnormality while shifting, just this odd noise. Replies to this message: pf_flyer (May 14, 2009 2:41 am)
