Sometimes I think mine still pulls, too. But not always, it's been hard to replicate.
I haven't been convinced enough yet to bring it back in.
 
If yours does reliably still pull (I think it should track by itself, too) I would try to take it up the management ladder with Mazda.
 
When I used to read the subaru threads, they would mention some sort of regional customer service type to help with such things. Maybe Mazda has a similar set-up?

As I may have posted earlier, I had the same issue (left pull) with my 2008. I brought it in to the dealer for an alignment, and it is better now. Not perfect, but better than it was.
The service manager tried to tell me about road crowns and potholes, blah, blah....
Whatever. Apparently, the alignment was out of whack from the factory.
The car does track straighter on the highway now, so I'm satisfied with the repair.
Still notice it a bit sometimes, but way better.
This seems to be an issue that Mazda needs to look at.

Rear Courtesy Lights by beeme1a

I have an 08 GT, and have noticed that the rear courtesy lights do not activate when the liftgate is opened. I checked the switch which is in the proper position and the lights do come on when any other door is opened. Is there something I am overlooking?

I had the same issue with my '08 CX9. I brought it in, thinking the alignment was out of adjustment, but instead, the Tech Bulletin explains for the dealership to turn the Strut 180 degrees. An ODD fix if you ask me, but it did resolve the problem.
 
It is annoying, to say the least, to have to fight the car to keep it straight. I would go to another dealership if the one you went to doesn't give you the result you expect. But that's one issue with Mazda - there aren't as many dealerships around as other manufacturers, so it could be a hassle if your local dealer "gives-up" on resolving this issue for you.
Good luck!

I have a similar problem but mine is intermittent.
 
When it does work, it comes on only when the liftgate is open. One of these days I'll take it in and see what they say.

It stands for Technical service bulletin. It a guide to the service people that a problem exists and here is a solution to the problem.
Unfortunately, my dealer couldn't totally resolve the issue. Has anyone called Mazda on this issue?

Take it back to the dealer...have the Service Manager drive with you so can show him/her the direct issue you're having... If they chose not to believe (their own lying) eyes... then if possible get a second oppinion at another dealer... It's a well documented issue with our cars... I'm guessing "some" dealer have not had to deal with it... and therefore don't understand what's expected to to be done...

Manual says change oil at 7K miles, Dealer says 3K by epicard

My gut tells me it's the service department at the dealer trying to milk me for more money. My last car was a Mini Cooper (big change obviously) that needed oil changed every 15K miles or so. The dealer I bought from is both a Mazda and Chrysler dealer, and on American cars, it doesn't surprise me to have them want it changed after 3K miles. But for a Japanese or German car, my understading is that the oil resevoir is much larger, leading to longer times between oil changes - plus different engineering. Dealership bullied me into using full synthetic - actually I'm okay with that and would have anyway - if I wasn't going to come in every 3K miles. But it feels like a scam.
 
One of the reasons I bought the car was because it would go 7K between changes - the hassle of service more frequenly is more than I'll put up with. Anyone have any feedback on this?
