I purchased a 2003 Mazda6 2 weeks ago, the car has been driven a total of 100 miles and has been covered since purchase. Last night, I found rust around the weather strips in all 4 doors. I called Mazda and apparently they knew about the problem for a while but did not address the problem before selling the car to me. The car has been on the dealer lot for 5 months and they never took care of that problem while it was sitting on the lot. . . . I had to find and point the problem out to them. No one should have to pay money for a "new" vehicle with rust on it.

There is a rattling noise coming from the passenger side dash. I have taken the vehicle in 3 times, and the noise is still there. They replaced some padding and tightened a charcoal filter. It is very annoying having a brand new car with a loud rattle.
