2016 Mazda Mazda3 4dr Sedan
184-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 13640 mi | Unreliable Bluetooth connection. Also can't run the car's nav while streaming BT w/out the car's voice nav directions skipping. CMU software updated - problems remain, and now the backup camera display shows in forward gears from rest. |
| 16740 mi | Body Control Module replaced due to trunk light being stuck on 100% of the time, even when trunk lid and all doors are closed. Very poor Bluetooth connectivity and general system performance. Trouble ticket still open with Mazda corporate - ongoing. |
| 18600 mi | Infotainment CMU (the "brain") replaced. Zero improvement to poor system performance and Bluetooth connectivity. Total garbage - this is my first and my last Mazda. Another power door lock actuator replaced, but they're ALL noisy at random intervals. Crap design maybe? Squeaky and noisy and sound like utter trash. |
| 23560 mi | Infotainment still demonstrates laggy, glitchy, and overall poor performance. I've given up on trying to get the system to perform as it should and have just accepted that it's garbage. |
