Contesting Warranty?

Contesting Warranty?
Took my 04 in for loss of power today. My general factory warranty expired this July. I am getting a new engine paid for by Mazda becuase of the extended powertrain warranty. They also found that they need to replace 4 igintion coils at $46/ea +labor. In total I have to pay ~ $400.
I complained on my last oil change under 4yr factory warranty that I had a loss of power. They checked it out and said everything was in spec. Now it turns out it may have been in spec, but they didnt check everything. This caused my power loss to get worse. Since they turned me away and said everything is fine now I am out of warranty. Now I have to pay for the coils and I get no rental car.
Do you think I can contest my warranty with Mazda? This obviously was an issue under warranty. They didnt put in the effort until I was paying the labor costs

If you can prove that they didn't follow all the procedures for checking when under warranty then you've got a case. If you're in the states, call up MNAO and see what they say.

I finally got my money back after making application for same once the extended warranty kicked in.
Since there is a much more established track record on motor failuers in evidence today than when I had my first motor go, hopefully you'll get better treatment from MNAO than I did back then.
