#73 of 79 Re: annoying beep [desy1003] by jeffyscott Jul 29, 2009 (4:30 am)
Replying to: desy1003 (Jul 29, 2009 4:18 am) Buying the car as is does not mean it is acceptable for a Mazda dealer to say they don't know what it is. Are they not actually willing to fix it, even if you would pay for the repair? I'd go to another dealer, if that is an option for you.   Do you have an owners manual? There are only a few things that are supposed to cause beeps. If you don't have a manual, I think if you register on line with mazdausa.com you can download an electronic copy for free. Not sure if knowing the things that are supposed to beep would help or not.

Replying to: jeffyscott (Jul 29, 2009 4:30 am) Well guess what, I just found the Owners Manual and I now know what the issue is.... "If a malfunction is detected in the air bag/front seat belt pretensioner systems and the warning light, a warning beep sound will be heard for about 5 seconds every minute..." Now I will take it to get fixed... Thank you! Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Jul 29, 2009 7:18 am) desy1003 (Jul 29, 2009 7:31 am) ahightower (Jul 30, 2009 4:49 pm)

Replying to: desy1003 (Jul 29, 2009 7:11 am) Great!   But how could the Mazda dealer not know that would be one thing to check?   Also I thought you had said there was no warning light on. Replies to this message: desy1003 (Jul 29, 2009 7:31 am) ahightower (Jul 30, 2009 4:49 pm)

Replying to: jeffyscott (Jul 29, 2009 7:18 am) The dealer said "We have no idea what that beep could be" and wanted to charge $150 just to find out and get a "deeper" diagnostic. Unbelievable!   And I dont have a light on my dashboard BUT the Airbag light stays on. Replies to this message: ahightower (Jul 30, 2009 4:49 pm)

Replying to: desy1003 (Jul 29, 2009 7:31 am) Seems to me it could be illegal for them to sell a car with a defective airbag. At the very least, not good business. Regardless of your purchase "as-is, no warranty", they still must make sure the cars they sell are safe. They wouldn't sell one with a missing seat belt, would they? I would push back hard on this issue.

Replying to: stallionre (May 14, 2007 8:18 pm) My 2005 doesn't have much of a squeaking problem with the brakes. Unless it's been sitting for a few days and I'm backing up. Kind of annoying sometimes. Replies to this message: autonomous (Aug 28, 2009 1:25 pm)

Replying to: tj6968 (Aug 28, 2009 12:34 pm) squeaking problem with the brakes ... sitting for a few days   That's normal for any car with disc brakes. The surface corrosion is visible on the rotors but is easily remedied with a couple of applications of the brakes. Bonus: everyone gets to hear you coming!
