Mazda's suck. I own a 2003 Mazda 6. I bought it brand new off the showroom floor. I have kept up with all service and it has been in the shop 14 times since I got it for electrical problems: headlights/fog lights all burnt out, then just headlights burnt out, then just fog lights burnt out, the A/C fan died once due to failed control unit, the rear deck BOSE subwoofer was fried, cooling fans ran ALL the time and up to 10 minutes after the car was off, the battery died (just last week) from the fans always being on (yet warranty only covered 40% of the battery cost. Moral of the story: Mazda electrical sucks period. I wouldn't introduce another electrical anything into their cars. Honda Accord v6 Hybrid coming up! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:172048 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
