I did receive the recall notice, but since I had no problems last winter I ignored. I am in Minnesota and we are finally getting some actual cold weather. My door latches froze tonight and I drove the car without the doors latching. It's now parked in the garage. Will the latch thaw out overnight? I need my car for clients this week, and I don't have time to take it to the dealership until next week. Has this happened to anyone? Any suggestions. I got the car washed today, could that have made a difference? April in Minnesota

Last winter I ran an extension cord out to the street and stood there in the freezing rain with a hairdryer!  Hopefully the recall actually works... the weather has been warm this year so I haven't been able to really test it yet.

I brought the car in for the recall. The service manager said that Mazda was going to send me a questionaire and that I was going to receive a $50 voucher from the dealership once I returned the questionaire. I plan to use the voucher to either purchase a cargo cover or towards future oil changes. David |

Replying to: c3po (Jan 18, 2007 5:09 pm) I bought a 2007 Touring on Friday and on Tuesday the door latches froze and one side broke. Straight to the dealer and got both fixed (insist on both). Then sent a complaint to Mazda that they should fix these before sending them out as its down right dangerous with kids at the back. |

Hey, Just want to let you guys know that I went to take my 5 also for the recall fix for the sliding doors. They changed them, but I noticed that my doors were seriously out of allignment when I got home. When closed, the left sliding door still looked as if it were open - there was a huge gap between the door and the body of the car and it still protruded. The same happened on the right side, but to a much lesser degree. So, I took it back to get it alligned and they alligned it perfectly. But, ever since the replacement of the latches, the doors sound and feel very different and no where near as smooth as they were. Has anyone else experienced these problems?
