Mazda 3 and Mazda Canada

While I love my one-month old Mazda 3, I detest Mazda Canada. After 2 1/2
weeks of owning my M3, I noticed a ticking noise when I pressed on the gas
pedal. Took it in for a check, 1 1/2 weeks later - it had become worse, and
am told I need a new engine in my M3. Unbelievable after one month. Mazda
Canada now has a prolonged backorder on the engine and I am stuck in a
rental vehicle. I bloody detest Mazda Canada - they should put me in a new
M3.

They're fixing it and you have a vehicle to use while they're doing so,
seems to me it could be MUCH worse.

It will be 6 weeks before I get my car back, and that according to the
Service Manager is optimistic as the engine is on back order. I am making
payments for a vehicle I don't have. I suppose it could be much worse, but
at any rate, it is unfair and Mazda Canada needs to step up to the plate and
rectify this. Do you know what they gave me for a rental vehicle - a Kia
Rio - couldn't get much worse. I'm sorry but as a paying customer I deserve
much better as do any other people that have this issue.

First off don't refer to a Mazda 3 as an M3! While the Mazda is a totally
repectable car in it's own right, you just don't hijack an industry icon to
save typing a couple letters ;-)
NOW.... I agree with XS11E, things could be much worse, iirc Mazda never did
take care of the 99 #4 thrust bearing failure victims, did they?

But, in your defense, you're right, they should put you in a Mazda 3 or give
you a new car, the KIA is adding embarrasement to injury and insult! Go and
make your demand, write a few letters and see what you can do. If that
doesn't work, come back here and to miata.net and run a letter writing
campaign in support of you getting proper service!

Go for it!

Dealership called today and they are putting me in a new Mazda 3
permanently. They will deal with Mazda Canada from here on out. My point
in my original post was that I had the car 30 days, and by the time I would
have it back, and that was an optimistic time frame from the companies, the
dealership would have had my car longer than I had - something is seriously
wrong with that. At any rate, I still say Mazda Canada sucks, but my
dealership Rocks!

Out of curiosity, which dealership and where in Canada?
It sounds like one I would want to deal with!
