Metal tube/pipe was cracked do to stress. New revised pipe was installed. |
| 17000 mi US $760 |
Fuel pump failure. The tolerances in the fuel tank are incredibly tight, only a couple millimeters of room. The float attached to the sending unit (fuel gauge) keeps sticking at 3/4-full tank. Reads accurately below 3/4-full. Mazda has attempted to place the pump several times, including utilizing Mazda tech team. Float still won't show a full tank. I believe another attempt is going to be made after summer driving season is over. |
| 21000 mi US $50 |
Wires on heating fan broken. Poor install at the factory. |

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata 2dr Convertible
129-horsepower 1.5L I4 6-speed manual RWD
| 10700 mi | Diagnosed by mechanic as windscreen washer motor failure needing replacement. Was going on trip to Europe so decided to live with it temporarily. Intention to replace it on return in may 2018. Also the multimedia button for home and music system has lost its click spring and is stuck. Tyre pressure monitor on dash board keeps showing up as failed needing to be reset, especially if sometimes go across potholes . tyres and pressure in good condition. Unsure if previous owner did not replace monitors when changed tyres. Will try and resolve it in next few months. |
