Replying to: pamn (Jan 09, 2009 9:05 am) Nothing much you can do (your opinion doesn't matter to them).   Flaking does sound odd..a chip can happen at any time...but flaking   If a 3rd party paint shop agrees with you this may sway Mazda...good clear coat...clear nose mask (aka car bra).

Replying to: pamn (Jan 09, 2009 9:05 am) Aw, jeez. That sounds like a problem that would frustrate me, too. Unfortunately, I can't see it for myself so I can't diagnose a problem. Does sound suspicious, though...

Sorry to crash your thread, but what's the top speed on the 09 6? It looks like it would go pretty fast with the new styling, but I've only been in one once, so I'm pretty clueless . Replies to this message: ivan_99 (Jan 11, 2009 12:58 am)

Replying to: mustangman911 (Jan 10, 2009 3:06 pm) It looks like it would go pretty fast with the new styling,   Not sure what you mean.   Do you mean the styling has a low drag coefficient...therefore it will have a high top speed?   I'm not certain that drag coefficient has a large role in these vehicles top speed...most are electronically limited.

Replying to: pamn (Jan 09, 2009 9:05 am) I feel for you, I got a rock chip in my windshield not a week after I got my car.   still, depending on how the rock hit the bumper, I'm not sure what mazda could do about it. Sucks that it happened so soon after you bought the car, but that doesn't mean there is a flaw in the car itself.

Replying to: pamn (Jan 09, 2009 9:05 am) pamn,   I am sorry to hear about your new car's paint issue. I also own a new Mazda6 and noticed just a couple weeks after driving that a small paint chip was on the hood. I am told it is more likely to happen during cold weather. It is not down all the way to the metal thankfully.   How big is your chip? Or is it more of a flake (larger than a chip)? Replies to this message: pamn (Jan 16, 2009 7:22 am)
#1916 of 2120 Slid sideways into curb this morning 2K+ damage my 6 by drosa Jan 15, 2009 (6:43 pm)
So pissed off! Snowed here in Central Jersey this morning. Had choice of picking up my co-worker or getting picked up. My wrong choice is costing 2K+ worth of Rim and suspension damage to my new 6. I turned onto his street which was not plowed yet and could not make the sharp left. Ended up side swiping the curb with both right rims. At first I thought I just needed a alignment and could find rims on ebay to replace the scratched ones. I went straight to the dealer driving at 20mph and my steering wheel turned all way to left. Dealer calls me back $2300 worth of damage. Tie Rod, strut, Rim, etc. I am so pissed. I have to file an insurance claim for that kind of $ . Replies to this message: lpmiller (Jan 16, 2009 7:07 am)

Replying to: drosa (Jan 15, 2009 6:43 pm) Aw that's terrible. Just another reason to fully support global warming.

Replying to: chriso5 (Jan 12, 2009 8:20 pm) The flake on the front bumper of my car is probably about the size of a dime. Underneath the paint is hard plastic. After a few days of back and forth with the bodyshop guy and Mazda, I was able to speak with the owner of the dealership and have him look at the car. He's agreed to repair it correctly (the body shop guy wanted to mix paint and apply). They're going to put a pressure washer on it to make sure that no other paint will come off and then feather out the spot, repaint and apply clearcoat to the entire bumper. Couldn't have asked for more. He understood my frustrations and did the right thing. We'll see how it turns out.
