Replying to: lolosurfer (Jan 08, 2009 5:07 pm) problem #1...if you had the Mazda dealer fix it, they would have used the corrected part. A local mechanic would have used a replacement part.... And it now a year later same thing is happing again took it autozone Autozone does not have the correct engine codes all the time.... What ever car you buy, or own, always bring it to the manufacturers dealer to resolve issues, especially because of the complex nature of the computer systems.... |

| Help, I purchased a M6, 2006 with a remote keyless entry and I have a problem that occurs intermittently. Whenever it is starting to rain or we have very high humidity my horn will blow 3-10 times in very short spurts and I have no control over this. Most of the time it is when I press the brake but sometimes it just goes off. On one particular occasion it kept up a steady series of blows for 20 miles. If I replace the fuse under the hood it sometimes stops immediately only to return a few months later. I have no Idea when it will reoccur. Dealership is baffled, said everything checked out. Thought it was related to the Keyless R Entry/security system but the dealership says no. Please any ideas would be greatly appreciated, this could be very dangerous, people think I'm blowing at them and they don't alway take kindly. | |

I have the 2009 mazda6 2.5 I4. I am noticing a tapping noise when accelerating from a stop at low rpm, as the car shifts, the noise is gone, so only appears at initial acceleration. It does not happen when idling. And I only hear it in the evening probably because of much less outside road noise at night compare to driving during the day. I tried reproducing when at idle, I can hear it if I rev up slightly to 1000 rpm. if I increase the rpm, the tapping sound is gone. Is this normal of this engine, or should I be worried and take it in for service? I did notice on my oil change receipt from the dealer that they are using bulk 5w30 oil. The manual recommends 5w20 oil. Could the thicker 5w30 oil be causing this issue?

Mazda has recently denied any engine repairs on my 2006 Mazda 6 with 34,000 miles on it which is 16,000 under their warranty. They state that because one of the oil changes in service history was not done at dealer my warranty is void.Was told to provide the receipts from that oil change yesterday and told today dont bother because we have voided warranty. How can they do this?? They dont know what is wrong with it to begin with other than seals are leaking oil and a problem with cylinder 3??? But refuse to investigate any further. Isn't there a Mazda Corporate complaint system or something out there???

Replying to: racefanf1 (May 02, 2009 2:31 am) A simpler solution is to just get the oil changes done at a dealer, at least during the warranty. I am not saying that what Mazda has done is right or fair, but getting the oil changes at the dealer (and on time, of course) would avoid all these sort of hassles. The cost of doing this is minimal...maybe $10-20 extra per oil change over doing it yourself. I don't agree with the Mazda schedule that has me changing oil every 4 months (which is generally about 3000 miles), but during the warranty period I am following this, just to avoid any potential hassles. After the warranty is over, I'll go to a 6 mo. schedule or go to synthetic and change once per year.
