It's possible you got a lemon, or just a few things wrong with your ride...it could be temporary. FWIW, Mazda has been rated poorly by JD Powers on reliability. Your experience with the service department is not uncommon. Of course, watch the Mazda advocates here or Consumer Reports luvers or those with a personal interest jump in and defend Mazda big time.
 
If you continue to have problems with your Mazda, wait until the 3 year mark or before you trade it in.

AC compressor on backorder? Mazda6? by z71bill

I thought someone had determined that the compressor in the Mazda3 and the one in the Mazda6 (2.3L) were one in the same?
 
I wonder why the backorder?

Hey z71bill. I'm not sure. I do have the 2.3. But that's what I was told by the service dept.

Defending Mazda by sandman46

There seems to be a lot of hostility in these Mazda 3 forums from the same people. Face it guys, some of us got cars without all the drama that some others have. You demonize the company and then have to use snide comments about others that don't agree with you or don't have the same problems as you.
The point is, y'all have lost alot of your credibility with your attitudes. You get snide and nasty with people who dare don't agree with you...so much for an adult discussion in any Mazda 3 forums. A real shame to...all that negativity makes most of us loose any patience or sympathy for you guys. Pity to, if this is how y'all react to your transportation problems, I'd hate to see how y'all deal with something really life or death.
Please, try to turn that negative energy into something positive...life's way to short!

Since you have been waiting a very long time for a fix tell the dealer to take a compressor off another car. Of course they might not do that because they will now have to recharge two systems but if Mazda cared for you as a valued customer they would do it. OK sandman46 shooooot me down...

you guys??
 
When I first moved to Texas (from Minnesota) I had several people tell me I sounded like I was from UP NORTH. When I would ask what does someone from up north sound like - I always got the same thing - They would say - What do "you guys" want to do for lunch or what do "you guys" want to do tonight.
 
I still say it sometimes - even after being a Texan for almost 20 years - last year while back up north some of my old buds gave me all kinds of crap when I said what are y'all doing tonight.
 
Nothing to do with the defective Mazda3 AC - or the crummy Mazda customer service - but I do see both sides of these issues - just like I am from up north - but sometimes sound like I am from down south.

That's the correct procedure (remove/replace refigerant) to check the a/c charge. The machine that does that also filters out any air or water. While the stuff doesn't wear out, it does leak a little bit and can get contaminated, usually on old sytems where there's a leak. The dealer is not BSing you with this test.

AC woes by poe1

i know the 2004s had an AC issue, so i purposesly waited for the 05s.
 
My AC has been ok. It's not near as good as my 95 ford F250s power stroke's AC, but that things AC is TOO cold.
 
Anways, I live in houston and during the summers i keep the recirculate on and at level 2 for standard driving around. Oh course, levels 3 and 4 are used for initial cooling, but after that 2 does fine.
 
ALso, tinted windows obviously help a ton.

Black interior part of the issue? by allfiredup
Nov 04, 2006 (12:55 am)
Reply
I seriously wonder if the mandatory black interior on most models is a big part of the problem?
 
I live in Atlanta and I'm very hot natured. I hate the summer heat here and every day when I got in my car to go home from work it was sweltering. Far worse than the gray interior on the Accord I had before it.
 
But within minutes, it is always cool and comfortable. Never had any passenger complaints either. Maybe I'm just lucky so far?
