Warranty extended through 5 years 60k

I got a letter from Mazda saying they are extending my warranty to 60 months and 60k miles. Any one else get one of these? This must be part of a PR project or something.

Everyone gets it. It's part of the recall.

Mazda should provide a minimum 100,000 mile engine warranty.

Yes, but doesn't a recall cover a defect even beyond the warranty? I am afraid I get a used one that tests out ok but then the apex seals give out at 80K, and I'm screwed.

jesus christ, must you post this **** in every ******* thread? Yes, we understand you hate mazda and you're pissed off. You think mazda should hand deliver a car to your door with playboy playmates.

They will cover it provided the MOP was the cause, if you're cars fine now (i don't know how many miles you have, would have been nice to post that), and it dies at 80k, then I doubt they'll rebuild your engine. Search next time, this question has been answered 9230698109341820949182904 times.

1) I don't hate Mazda

What is your objection to a 100,000 mile warranty that we have now been told has issues that can lead to failure?


You're basically saying that an extra 10,000 miles of warranty protection is satisfactory, either to give you piece of mind, or to help sell the car is that's what you intended to do?

What are you? A dealer?

I'm speaking of 100,000 miles JUST on the engine, since that is the issue.

Hyundai is giving 100,000 powertrain waranties on new cars without problems.

Mazda has a verifiable problem with the motor on its hands (well, we do, at any rate).

First of all, don't put words in my mouth.

Secondly you've made a point to post in many of the threads regarding the recall and the new warranty extension with your opinion that mazda should extend our warranties to 100k. We get it. If you have that much of a problem with it, call mazda, complain to MNAO, start a petition.

If you feel that strongly about it, stop complaining about it on an internet board and do something about it.

This warranty is for powertrain only right? I'm more concerned about the interior crap that will break. I've already had so many squeaks/rattles/broken cupholder doors/sunvisors etc and the car is 5 MONTHS old.
