Tl the contact owns a 2012 Mazda 3. While driving at an unspecified speed, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to jenkins Mazda of ocala (352-815-2425, located at 1740 sw college rd, ocala, FL 34471) where the fuel pump and gauge were replaced. The clutch was replaced six moths later. Five months later, the vehicle leaked fluid in the driveway. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where the technician diagnosed and replaced the driver's side transmission axle. Seven months later, while driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle made a clunking sound and was towed to the same dealer where the technician diagnosed and replaced the entire transmission. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and offered to provide a discount towards the cost of a new vehicle. The offer was not acceptable. The contact's vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 31,740.

Complete engine failure on well maintained Mazda 3i at 75000 miles. Traveling on freeway in slowest lane of traffic, first heard a clicking noise and engine light went on. Car seemed to be losing power. Called aaa roadside help, who checked the car and determined it was ok and could be driven home, about 10 miles away. Proceeded to drive home, 5 miles into trip began losing power, clicking noise returned so I pulled over to shoulder as car completely lost power, engine overheated. Prognosis: timing chain broke, engine overheated and this car is a total loss. Finding now there are thousands of consumers that have experienced this issue with Mazda engines. This company is a fraud, and people's lives are in danger as the result. Never again will I have anything to do with Mazda cars.

I bought the car new from tracy Mazda in June of 2006. In April of 2008 I started hearing a slight ticking noise coming from the engine. This was shortly after the last oil change which was done by speedee oil changers. The mileage was 25,675, 4/18/08, when speedee changed the oil and it was 26,402, 4/25/08,when I took the car into tracy Mazda so they could check on the ticking noise. The service department finally got back to me several days later and said it sounds like a rod knock from cyl #1. They asked for the maintenance records which I then provided, except for one oil change which I had performed myself ( minus the filter which required a special tool). On 5/13/08 tracy Mazda's service department called and informed me they would not fix the vehicle under the warranty. It was going to cost me approximately $6,000. 00 to fix a car that didn't even have 30,000 miles on it. I declined to have them fix it right then and went and got the car. I had the first two oil changes performed at tracy Mazda's service department. The next was performed by speedee oil changers. After that I changed the oil myself. The fifth oil change was on 4/18/08, when I took it back to speed. The mileage between the two speed changes was 14,458. I performed one oil change between the two documented which would make it approximately 7,200 miles between the two. This is a little more than what is suggested between oil changes but not enough to warrant Mazda declining warranty repair. I plan on taking this up with Mazda's upper management in hopes they might make this right.
