New Recall
 

Got a call this afternoon from my dealer about a recall. Something to do with Door latch/lock re-enforcement??? Going in tomorow afternoon to get it done. I'll post more info after the work has been done.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

They said it should take about an hour to complete and the "parts" just came in today. So I'm not sure if they are going to replace somehting or what but they wanted me in their ASAP to get it done.

keep us updated!!!!!

Yeah so I'm not sure what the dealership was smoking. I get there and ask exactly what the recall is.......its for the locks. Its the whole If someone kicks your doors the right way they will unlock thing. I was like ok get it fixed than. They take my car into the bay and come out 5 mins later and say yeah your vehicle does not need the recall. Not a happy camper right now about them wasting my time along with having to leave work early to bring my car in.

I thought they fixed that with the older models..... sucks you had to waste your time.

Dealers are morons.

mitchells also works very well :)

Missing the VVT and CDFP TSB here.

How serious is the motor mount loosening? Does this happen very often?

Im going in to a dealer cross state to look at an MS3. Would they know which recalls have been fixed in the car? It's an Acura dealer, so they don't sell Mazdas often.

I'm glad the recall 07V2295000 is on here because my 07 Speed 3 for some odd reason never had this reall performed before I bought it, and low and behold last night the bolt snaps, of course it has to be Sat night when it breaks so now I have to tow the car in tomorrow morning but I'm going to raise hell for the fact it was a certified used car through mazda without having the recall performed. I am not a happy camper but thanks to you guys I can seriously talk to my dealer about some lingering questions I now have about their service work / certification there.

axle clicking tsb..............anyone????

I just bought a 2008 MS3 and i was wondering after reading this thread if your in cali area if you could suggest a dealer to get the recalls checked and or fixed

hmmm, seeing all this and reading the thread about how everyone is having there motor blowing up is kinda making me think twice:thinking::thinking: about getting one....

maybe you should get a Yaris.... i heard they are very dependable....

i should get one of those... then i can save money and buy a real turbo car... like a supra evo, or sti... yeah thanks for the idea... ass, I'm new on the site ans still have to read more about the ms3, so if i read more good then bad then i will get one. so far the stuff im reading is making me want to learn more about the ms3

i dont get it.... why is this stuff youre reading make you wanna learn more about the ms3 if it isnt a 'real turbo car... like a supra evo (sic), or sti....'?

some unsolicited advice: if you are going for easy big power, choose a dif platform. if you want the best/fastest daily driver, the ms3 is for you. even though my car will never be 400+hp, its still fast as fuck and i couldnt be happier.

I'm not going for big easy power. i have driven 2 ms3 and liked them and there's no way in hell i would want a fwd car to have 400+ hp, it would lose all it's fun. i had a focus that had a bunch of cosworth stuff and had 228 wph on a mild tune and it was good enough for me but i was t boned and decided i would look into a turbo car that's fun to drive. the only reason i said "real turbo cars" was due to the reason that they have been around longer than the speed3. i'm not intentionally putting the speed3 down it's a good step forward in to the turbo game for the 5 door car. i was just in a bad mood, im currently looking at a silver speed3 bone stock except or some wheels. not sure what kind has no center cap's

I just brought my car in for some warranty work. My driver's side seatbelt latch was squeaking when I went over bumps, apparently there's a TSB for this. When I drop the car off again to get the work done I'll get more info about the TSB.

There's also a TSB for Bose radio's eating CD's. My dealer said not to use MP3 CD's in my MP3-capable Bose CD-Changer because "they get stuck." Sounds like BS to me. I told him whenever I'm playing a burned CD, I can't change discs, even though the lights illuminate, nothing happens. However, the CDs will change if using a store-bought CD.

I'll keep everyone posted on what I find.

What year is yours? I have an '09 and I have used a burned MP3 CD in my Bose CD Changer with no problems.

Here's a list of bulletins

Drive shaft TSB
 

Hey the Drive shaft TSB seems to be only for the regular mazda3 but I think that is occurring with my mazdaspeed3 did any one get this done on their MS3. I would like to know thanks

Mine was clicking, they replaced the entire shaft about a month ago MS3.

mine is clicking too

whats it sound like if its clicking? and how do you know? my car has like a clicking sound coming from the back of the car like everytime i go over bumps and shit.

click, click, click .........

you hear it.

You shit in your car going over bumps?:hmmm:

You need a Proctologist not a Mechanic!

you began to hear it on the cars initial move fwd (click) or in reverse (click)

thats how many started atleast

i really appreciate the douchebag answer...

Thanks. this will the first time taking my car in. I have TT front mount, catch can, forge bpv cobb sri, bc coils and rims. do you think this will be a problem for recall service.


that exactly right. If I go reverse and forward I can repeat all the time. I have check all my suspension, sway bar and endlinks and I can't find nothing odd. it has to be it.

thanks for the help guys.

I schedule it for service on friday will see how it goes.

I'm starting to get it... Only once as I move either forward or backward.

One more thing. What do say to the dealer as far the service bulletin? They are telling me that there isn't a service bulletin like that for the MS3 I knew they were going to give shit I have not even show up there and its already problem. Is this something you pay for?

I didnt mention the bulletin, it doesn't apply to MS3 and would just confuse the issue.
Just told them there was clicking from drivers side front during load changes, that I could only hear it with the window down, and that it sounded like a bad CV joint.

They checked it out, ordered a new axle.
Replaced under warranty.

Nice to hear. What a your mods and do you think I will pass by with mine.
Thanks for the help.

My mods, Koni FSD shocks, and Cobb SRI
As far as the dealer is concerned........
In other words everything else is removed for visits, and I would remove the SRI too if I was going in for any warranty work engine related.

You have........
TT front mount, catch can, forge bpv cobb sri, bc coils and rims

LOL... good luck, depends on your dealer really, I would consult the Good dealer and Bad dealer lists on the forum to see if there is a "good" dealer in your area.

Dude, thank you for your post. This had me fricken ROLLING here at work. People lookin all funny at me now. lol

Glad you liked it.... LOL

The STIG is Michael Schumacher.

Santa Clarita Galpin, Steve is the top mechanic in the country on these cars...

I think a LEAF would be better:stickp4:

Since you had a Focus, get the Focus RS 500...only 500 will be made:smashfreakB:

:firedevil:so if i take my car to the mazda dealer and tell them these are the recalls can you fix them even if nothing wrong that i know of can they charge you for this? and or does ne of these recalls must be screwing with my car before they will fix it?

Glad to be a New member and share info. on these cool cars
 

Cheers & glad to be a member on a site devoted to Mazda's. I just bought a nice 2011 MazdaSpeed 3 and it will be delivered the end of June (2014). Looking forward to my little go-cart on steroids. Have owned Porsche 944 Turbos and loved them but they were 1986 models and a lot has changed since then. Will post pic's and more info. when my car arrives!
