Told by Mazda technician that right rear sway bar link is defective- failing, and causing a clunking noise. Vehicle only has 54k miles on it, noticed the noise around 52k miles.
I have only owned this vehicle for 10 months and on Feb 14, 2014 noticed there is a clunky sound at the back right side of the car. Took it to the dealership and found up that all sway bar bolts were loose. Service manager indicated that the factory did not tightened it properly. Following week noticed that my dashboard above the computer stuff was lifting/warping. They had replaced and the service advisor mentioned that I am the 5th Mazda 3 2012 owner to take it in with the same issue with the dashboard. I hope nothing else will start to fall apart.
