Replying to: vg33e power (Aug 17, 2009 1:37 pm) Oh, also, I have an '08, so I don't think I would need to dish out any money to fix it. Wouldn't it be covered under warranty?

Replying to: vg33e power (Aug 17, 2009 1:37 pm) I just spoke with my wife, who is the one majorily driving the car now, and she says that she has at times smelled a slight burning smell but she wasn't sure. When I mentioned to her what you said, she said it makes sense now. So, can it be both the compressor and the fan?

Replying to: nissmazlover (Aug 19, 2009 12:00 pm) Sorry I failed to see that it is a 2008...and yes it should be under warranty, at least the compressor. As far as the fan, if the fan motor is faulty then it should also be covered under warranty, if there is leaves and or rodent/s in there it will not be covered but it is to the dealerships discretion if they want to charge you or not. I would just take to the dealership and let them deal with it instead of you pulling it out and then blaming you.

Replying to: vg33e power (Aug 19, 2009 12:53 pm) Guess what? I took it and everything was fine and in workig order. Turns out that a plastic bag had fallen inside my dashboard - from the glove compartment and that dumb hole that's in the back of it - and it was covering/clogging the A/C mechanisms and stuff. They, actually, had to take apart my lower, right hand side dash to get in there and remove it!   And, yeah, since it wasn't a warranty issue, I had to pay for it! $149.95 + tax!

Replying to: nissmazlover (Aug 25, 2009 10:50 am) Well, the bad thing is that you had to dish out the $149.95 plus tax, the good thing is that it was nothing major and at least it serves as a lesson next time you may hear somthing similar you'll know what it couold be.

Unfortunately, at least one of the previous posters also reported decreased air volume output. Dealership told her the compressor was defective. Would a dealership make unnecessary repairs under warranty just to bill Mazda? I know that if they miss-diagnose it, they would not admit to it and just go on.
#18 of 20 New wrinkle in extended warranty scam by pigdoc Sep 17, 2009 (9:32 am)
I've got a 2004 Cadillac SRX, purchased used, so I got an extended warranty from my local dealer. Had check engine light come on, took to the dealer, they did diagnostics and said that it was probably a problem with the emissions system, but they would have to remove the gas tank to check. The problem, the warranty people said they will not cover the expense of removing the gas tank if it is not what caused the check engine light to come on. The dealer wants $580 to remove the tank to check it out. So they want me to assume all the risk, in case this does not solve the problem. Do I have any recourse? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: pigdoc (Sep 17, 2009 9:32 am) Yes you have recourse. Read the terms and conditions in your warranty. Is diagnostic not covered? The operation of removing the tank is part of the diagnostic process. They have to fix the problem and not ask you how to do it. You give them the car with a covered (by the warranty) problem and they give it to you back fixed. Tell them that you just want the problem fixed under the warranty conditions. If not go to BBB. It's surprising how many people hire lemon law lawyers or are afraid to talk to BBB. I was in that category until it was just too much. I was surprised how quickly and with no pain the problem was taken care of. DO IT!
#20 of 20 canadian car by drb11 Oct 27, 2009 (8:03 am)
Can somebody please help me out?   I imported a canada manufactured mazda 5 car into US. It is 2008 model. question is - does the warranty coverage exist the same? is it in km or miles? as car speedometer and odometer are in km.   If the warranty is not covered, are there any recourse?
