Hi everybody, I just got my 2009 mazda 3 two months ago, only 2300miles on it right now. unfortunately i hit a big pothole 1 month ago on highway, pretty big one in area i mean, but not very deep, but still felt big impact on the 2 wheels on passenger side which hit the pothole. i didn't see any damage on the wheels, but 1 week after that i began to notice a groaning type of noise from underneath front end close to passenger side when going over speed bumps in RAINY days. it sounds like rubber being squeezed. i did find the noise only once in the morning(no rain that day), but nothing in sunny days. i'm not sure the reason could be the wetness or coldness, since both rainy days and mornings get lower temperature. my car drives good now, i don't see anything wrong with it unless the noise. i took the car to dealership for a look but they didn't find anything. the weired thing is they took off some bolts and nuts of the concerned area and tightened them back on, and then the noise was gone. but today the noise comes back again, not that obvious as it was before but loud enough for me to notice. here's my question: could this be caused by that pothole i hit 1 month ago or just has nothing to do with that hit? if there is something wrong, what could it be? i'm quite worried by this, since i always worry that i had broken something under my car in that bigass pothole. thanks a lot.

Hi there, My mazda famila 98 is making a screeching noise when i accelerate it seems to be only doing this in the morning on the way to work. It lasts for about 3-5sec and stops. If anyone could point me in the right direction on a fix for this Thanks

Replying to: autonomous (Jul 07, 2009 1:38 pm) Yowza! That's an expensive pothole. I was out-of-pocket for the $800 total repair costs intially. But I filed a claim on my comprehensive insurance covereage and got back all but my $100 dedictible! =) First time I've never needed or used comprehensive coverage...though I have used the collission coverage on at least four vehicles over the last 19 years.

I just bought a used 2006 Mazda 3. Every time I turn the car on, a beep comes on. Every 2 minutes while i'm driving, stopped, ANYTHING-One single long beep. I don't have any lights turning on the dashboard. I took it to the Mazda dealer and THEY have no clue what it is. Has anyone had this issue? Please help.
