~tl-the contact owns a 2015 Mazda Mazda3 equipped with 215/45/zr18 wheels. The contact stated that on several occasions the wheels had to be replaced due to the wheels coming out of round. The contact was concerned that the metal was not strong enough. The vehicle was taken to mavis discount tire located at 1118 e putnam Ave, riverside, CT 06878, (203) 698-9599, to be inspected. The contact was informed that 3 out of 4 wheels were slightly bent. The wheels were repaired however, the failure recurred. Smith cairns located at 900 central park Ave, yonkers, NY 10704, (914) 377-8100, was contacted and declined to offer assistance. The manufacturer was also contacted and declined to offer assistance. The contact received case number: 1-1568373109. The approximate failure mileage was 16,728. Ah.
Headrest unusable in safe driving position. Forces head to floor or prevents proper back placement on seat, sometimes both. The only way to sit in the seat comfortably is to have the seat leaning too far back where I cannot reach the steering wheel comfortably. Wheels would vibrate at speeds above 55, sometimes as low as 40. Recently fixed by dealership. Brakes were improperly adjusted and scraped against the inside of the brake assembly. Made a loud scratch sound. Took two visits to the dealership to be fixed. All events required individual visits to the repair shop, and I am uncertain of the long-term viability of the vehicle. Any small issue raises extra concerns. Vehicle has only 2k miles after a year of ownership because of either driving discomfort or the vehicle being in the shop to be worked on.
