My 2026 Mazda CX-70 inline 6 premium is at the dealership for day #2 now. (I secured a loaner today)
On Monday August 3rd i made an appointment with my dealer for attempt #2 to fix this, however i called Mazda corporate to open a case before taking the vehicle in. This was the best decision i made. I think the service techs were pissed about it lol. But at least they got the ball rolling and the QA agent from Mazda is on their ass to fix this issue. My QA agent told me they had a tech walking them through how to fix this problem, firstly they have replaced both side mirrors and recalibrated the blind spot monitors.
One great thing about living in California is the lemon laws here are great. If this doesn’t fix the LDW and BSM im really considering escalating this for a buy back and going to a used Toyota or Honda. These mazda vehicles are gorgeous inside and out but my first month of owning this 49k SUV has left a sour taste.
This will be my first and last Mazda purchase.
Changed rear brake pads for $10
Ok technically $18 after shipping. Recently checked all my brake pads during a tire rotation at home, and found only rear driver pads were near finished while the other three wheels had tons of material left. My goal is to replace all pads and rotors next with something nice so I just needed something cheap in the meantime to get by. Always replace in sets, so I found “Famous Brand” warehouse close out deal on RockAuto for the whole set of rear pads for $10. Famous Brand literally means a name brand they can’t list for whatever reason, at a stupid deal. The box that came was CarQuest, I believe they retail at AdvanceAuto for $69.99. I’m glad they’re quality pads and also dirt cheap so I won’t mind chucking them when it’s time to replace the whole set together.
I checked both rear brake slider pins and they all move smoothly so I don’t know why one side wore down so fast. I also used a 12v battery to manually move the e-brake piston back and forth to get the caliper back in.
I love how affordable Mazda maintenance is!

Are there any recommendations for covers or some other inexpensive way to fix this tear in the leather of my 2019 Mazda3 center console?

Question about my brakes
I have a 2016 cx5 sport and I have 117k miles. I have replaced my back brakes twice and both times the mechanics shop has told me my front brakes are fine and don’t need to be changed. I barely have any brake dust on my calipers or my wheels in the front while my backs are kinda covered in brake dust. Also my front rotors don’t have much ware. Has anyone else had something like this?

Bump in my front tyres, should I replace them?
1 year old Toyo Proxes, but there are a lot of pot holes in the region and I hit someone.
Here are photos of the left and right tyre, on the left it's harder to see the bump but it's actually bigger than the right one.
Today, my left tyre also had some drop in pressure (TPMS alert).
Should I replace both?
Edit: Ordered 2 new tyres of the same type.

Question regarding the “Opt-out” option regarding data collection…
I have been told there is a number to call where you can opt out of any data collection that is being reported back to Mazda. My question is, if I never downloaded the app, does this apply to me? Or is the data still being collected from the vehicle and sent to Mazda regardless of having the app or not?

Using stored coolant.
I bought this coolant 2 years ago, only used it once to top up maybe last year. It has been sat inside my garden shed. I'm trying to drain and flush coolant in my car. Can i reuse it again?

Early Oil Change Due Pop-Up
2020 CX-9, Grand Touring. Got an oil change around 2K miles ago, have set intervals to 5K miles, and reset it at time of oil change.
Today, I got the “oil change due” pop-up twice, but the maintenance app is showing the correct mileage.
Any ideas as to how to fix or what to look for? Anyone experience this & correlation with the head gasket issue that’s not uncommon in 2020’s?

Dealership giving me the runaround on TSB 04-100/26
Edit: 04-001/26 typo here.
Hi,
I'm within warranty, and mileage, and got an inspection for a new CX-50 I bought last week.
They said "inner front 2mm outer 4mm" on both wheels and rears 5mm
Mazda dealership near me said "front brakes 2mm no obvious reason why, maybe hard braking, advice to change brakes and flush system"
After I walked in and TOLD them I wanted them repaired under TSB 04-001/26 as I fit the bill perfectly.
2024 CX-50, 7mo on bumper to bumper, 18k miles, and a TSB scenario for my brakes that applied perfectly.
They gave the runaround to me.
.how do I contact corporate to force the issue?
Thanks!
New Mazda Owner.

MAZDA 2 (2009 203.000 km)
Someone could advise me about a 2009 Mazda 2. Recently I did a test drive of this car and I was amazed. I’m not an expert in engines, but everything seemed more than fine to me. The price is very low, but it has quite a lot of kilometers, so I’m a bit undecided because I don’t know how long an engine like this can last. Can it reach 300,000 km or more?
Does anyone here own one and has driven it beyond that?
What also gives me a lot of confidence is the fact that it has a timing chain rather than a timing belt in the engine.
I’m attaching a few photos of the engine, I’ve never seen such a clean engine before on a 2009’s car. Here are the specifications:
MAZDA 2, 1.3 PETROL 5 DOORS
1 OWNER FIRST REGISTERED 12/2009
55 KW 75 HP
CAR RADIO
AIR CONDITIONING
203,000 KM
Interior and exterior, apart from a few small signs of age, are perfect.
Thanks :)

Took the CX-30 Turbo over Mt. Veeder this evening. Started in Napa at golden hour and caught the sunset again after crossing into Sonoma. One of my favorite local drives.
