AC compressor and some corresponding parts died. Stated that it possibly could have been driven, but if it seized, maybe not. No A/C in S. Florida is not an option though. Common problem with this model, unfortunately...

Airbag sensor on passenger seat needed calibration. Warning light was on when my wife (100lbs) sat in it but not when I sat in it (150lbs). For safety, airbag will NOT deploy if light is on for small children and is supposed to be calibrated at 60lbs.

Went back to dealer for front pass. seat airbag sensor after first fix did not work. Was told it was calibrated properly and there was nothing they could do.

Blown Bose speaker. Had to replace. Factory "bose" radio with nav shouldn't blow a speaker when not listened to at high volumes.
A/C compressor failure, paid out of pocket warranty, not covered. Later received a letter from Mazda offering to reimburse me for the repair--have filed the necessary forms.
