2015 Mazda Mazda3 4dr Sedan
155-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 44020 mi | right rear shock was making noise, found to have a joint worn out, replaced |
| 14000 mi | The front end checked. During cold weather the front end made a loud creaking noise over every bump) Since would only occur when cold they kept it until the squeak occurred. They replaced some bushings and did a TSB modification to the passenger side and drivers side. However after having the car a couple days the car had to be taken back to dealer due a new noise from the front end that sounded like grinding or creaking noise. The dealer said the had to re-torque some loose suspension components and was very vague. The car drives fine and I still love it but the steering wheel is now not completely straight. |
