I had that problem, they just came out with new seals for the tail lights about 4 months ago, so definitely get it done.

yeah i probably take her tomorrow to get it resealed.it kinda sucks cause i got the car at a chevy dealership which i told them about the taillight before i even got it,which they said they will fix and also detail the car.but at the time the shop was close,so they told me that they will call me.(which they did) but then said they couldn't fix the taillight,that u have to carry it to a mazda place. which i have to drive pretty far to get too a mazda dealership.

Do a search if you like.....there's a couple of threads on here related to sealing tailights. You might want to think about doing it yourself rather than driving to a dealership you may not be familiar with, then paying them to do it. This is of course if the Chevy dealer hasn't agreed to pay for it.......which it doesn't sound like they are. Plus.......if you read up on it and take your time you know it will be done right.

My two cents

The AT with the performance package comes with 18" wheels, otherwise they are different (as shown in his pictures).

I took off my tail lights, and drilled three holes (very small mind you) and it works like a charm. I'd take pics, but I won't guarantee you'll see them. Easier than resealing it IMO.

Have Mazda ensure that all the recalls have been performed. The extended warranty you purchased might be beneficial, unless they keep telling you that they cant fix things and that you need to take it to Mazda.
