Angry Mazda Dealership

I just wanted to know if someone else ever has this problem. I took my car to mazda about 20 times or more. Well to get to the point i was suppose to pick up my car this past saturday. Mazda called me saturday morning saying to keep the loaner for awhile. I asked why and they said we put a new PCM in due to the problems I was having and the car wont start now. LOL

Hopefully I get a new 2007 RX8.

Its sad that I think I know my car better than *Mazda Train Techs*

I just proved that by fixing one of the CEL, something that the last dealership I've been to, who tried to blame it on my intake, but I fixed it by cleaning the connector with distilled water. 10 minutes job, no mess. Happy car.

Well now the dealership says that the Solenoids are bad. There going to have a mazda tech come and check the wiring. This is bullshit. haven't had my car for awhile now and im driving and paying for a mazda 3.

Ask them to pay for your rental.

Mazda Factory Trained Techs

I lost my trust in Mazda trained techs already. all they can do is *keep replacing parts until its right*, they cant fix shitz.

I still need to find a day or 2 to visit them .... I need them to *replace* alot of parts.

...paying for a mazda 3.
At least you got better than the loaner Aveo I was stuck with for a day.

But you should not be paying for that. Part of Mazda's bumper-to-bumper warranty is that you get a free loaner when your car is laid up with warranty work.

Ask them to cover your payments for the time your 8's been laid up.

You said you've been back 20 times, check on lemon laws in your state to see if that gives you leverage.
