| Equipment problems |
I first noticed the floor under my drivers seat in the back was soaked. I took it to a Mazda dealer immediately and was told that the drainage system was probably backed up with debris causing the water to back up inside the car and it would cost approx. $700. 00. It seemed to happen when my car was exposed to heavy rain. Also whenever I went to a car wash. The problem seemed to have gotten worse and I came home to find the inside of my car filled with water in the back and the front under the driver's and passenger seats. This problem can lead to a more serious problem if not fixed immediately because eventually rusting will occur under the carpeting which could be a potential danger to me as the driver. I do not feel safe driving this car with this reoccurring water problem. I have asked around as to how to fix this problem and have had no resolution with Mazda. I do not feel that this is a normal wear and tear issue but more one of a manufacturing flaw. When I spend thousands of dollars on a sport car I do not expect for a problem such as this to occur and then not be dealt with with expediency. If the flooring rots from rust, my seat could fall through while I'm driving. I would like this to go on record now as I am still getting no resolution. I don't think this is something that I should have to pay out of pocket to get fixed.
