#1 of 96 MAZDA 6 Engine problems by racefanf1 Nov 26, 2007 (7:46 am)
I have a 2007 MAZDA 6 I bought new last spring. I have changed the oil 3 times since new and have 11,000 miles on the car. My 7th and last MAZDA. The engine went bad. Bad knocking. Without even looking at the inside of the engine Mazda refuses to honor the warranty because, GET THIS CRAP, they require the VIN number and milage to be on the Auto Zone receipts from when I bought the oil and filters! Who has that? I will send anyone who wants a copy of the letter of rejection from MAZDA NORTH AMERICA Inc., Replies to this message: rogerl1 (Jan 10, 2008 9:03 am) femlawone (Jan 24, 2008 11:34 am) jeffyscott (Jan 24, 2008 11:46 am) femlawone (Jan 24, 2008 11:57 am) racefanf1 (Jan 24, 2008 12:36 pm) femlawone (Jan 28, 2008 12:36 pm) femlawone (Feb 01, 2008 11:09 am) mazda6owner (Mar 01, 2008 1:15 pm)

Replying to: racefanf1 (Nov 26, 2007 8:03 am) That stinks.   I always use the dealer for oil changes during warranty, just to avoid any potential hassle in case of a problem, such as you are experiencing. For $20-25 per oil change, it is cheap "insurance".

Replying to: racefanf1 (Nov 26, 2007 8:03 am) I haven't read the fine print in the manual but do you know if it says anything about doing that? If not, not how they expect you to document an oil change like that since it's over and above what the average person does when they get their oil changes. Most quick lubes put the license plate number on the reciept. Wouldn't that suffice?   I would consider talking to a lawyer for an opinion, then checking out your states small claims process. Some states go up to $5000 for small claims which should more than cover a new engine.

Replying to: racefanf1 (Nov 26, 2007 7:46 am) I just bought a 2007 Mazda 6 5sp on July 30, 2007. I had 1 oil change at 5000 per the dealership. I had the dealership change the oil. At about 7000 heard a slight noice but I wasn't concerned. At 8500 it got loud as if I had bearings loose. The dealership told me told that the engine is bad (like your Mazda) and it is the 3rd engine they've seen so far w/this problem. They are concerned that this is turning into a epidemic and they are going to call Mazda. I don't know if this is going to help you but maybe this problem may be turning into a recall on their engines. They are going to replace my engine because it is under warranty and because I had my oil change done at the dealership.

Replying to: racefanf1 (Jan 24, 2008 12:36 pm) You're welcome. Good luck. When I get my car back (hopefully this Friday) I'll let you know if I find anything else out.
