Interesting thread and nice to see Mazda finally doing something. Maybe for their next act they can address the 11 to 12mpg city mileage.
What I can say for sure is it is nice to have guys like ibfubar2000, ZOOM44, Otherside on this forum. They do more for Mazda then MNAO ever has. Keep up the good work and thanks for the information.

Of all that I have heard about the "recall", this link probably explains it in detail best:

Any possibility of a Mazda buy back program? I love the way the car handles but I can't visit my friend in Las Vegas or visit my mother in Sacramento in hot weather. I can barely reach 40mph at full throttle when the temp gets near 110 degrees and I cannot maintain freeway speeds at 100 degrees. I'm not confident that an engine exchange will solve the problem.

Ummm your car has some major issues and if a new engine didn't solve that problem I would be SHOCKED!
I live in NH and it does get hot here believe it or not...AND on top of the heat we have oppressive humidity. 70%. My car while not as snappy in that weather and being black on black leather which is painful to bare skin... I can certainly maintain highway speeds with NOOO problems...
On the other extreme... I bought my car in February. F'ing cold here. Now it didn't want to start easily on a -20 day BUT it did start and after warming up ran just fine.
For the sake of your car... get the engine replaced!

Probably a prime candidate for the recall...

I didn't notice any hard starts in cold but I picked my car up March 26, plus it doesn't get that cold here. I think the lowest it was when I tried to start it was at 5 a.m. and 22 degrees and it was fine.

Yes well having a bunny is pretty impossible. Do you know how fast they multiply? Pretty soon my apartment will be overrun by bunnies.
On a more related note, I use Idemitsu premix every fillup. I do have a (emphasis on "a") sound that I've described as marbles in a blender, but so far my engine hasn't grenaded or anything so until it does I'll just try my best to ignore the sound and enjoy the times when it's not there and I can hear the beautiful pure rotary blare.
