Thanks again Sleepy. I will for sure check when i get it. I can't tomorrow though because of the holiday.

 

Ok, so i go to pick up my car today from the dealership. It was indeed a brand new engine. I was all hyped up. So I start up the car ( took a few more cranks than my old engine because of course it's a new engine ) and drive off. About 15 miles down the freeway i hear a clank noise. The car was riding fine so I ignore it hoping it wasn't anything serious until i get off. As I approch the exit I stepped on the brakes and they weren't responding, I drove off the road into the dirt with the car bouncing up and down soft on the driver side, very rough on the passenger side.

The car finally managed to stop and i get out and inspect it. My passenger side brake caliper fell off, my tire was flat, and the fender lining had all come off. It felt like there were no springs on the left side. I called Mazda and they sent a tow truck ASAP. When i got back down to the dealership they were super sorry. I kept a cool head about it and didn't want any " Service Technician " to get fired over a human mistake. Now my car is back in for service. This time I turned down the shitty rental. I'm done with those toy *** cars, i'll have my girl drive me around in her Versa. After all, The day could have been a lot worse, if I were put in a position on the freeway where i had to brake quickly, the car wouldn't have done it's job.

 

I would be fairly upset..... haha

 

Bad luck. I'd see about getting something out of the dealership. I would have demanded a better rental car right off the bat.

Keep us posted.

 

: Yeah i tried a better rental. All they had were small pick up trucks. I should go in tomorrow and try for the mazdaspeed kit and if they say no I will say my lawyer knows how to get it for free . A caliper falling off is pretty serious if you ask me though. It seemed like I lost all braking because of one caliper.

 

Damn that sucks, I would be pissed also, at least your safe. Someone should get fired over that but chances are he is master tech and will just get yelled at a little. You should find out the techs name and request someone else in the future.
