Engine not specified
| Mazda Mazda3 in British Columbia, Canada May 2017 - Jan 2022 | |||
| Jan 202232240 miC $717 | The shifter button was getting stuck. When stuck, the car cannot turn off properly because the car won't turn off in gear. This happened and drained the battery. Both the battery and shifter required replacement (the battery may have need to be replaced from general wear and tear within the next couple years anyway, but this killed it slightly premature). It's not a true transmission problem, it might be considered trim. | ||

| Mazda Mazda3 in Massachusetts, United States May 2017 - Jan 2022 | |||
| Feb 201814000 mi | Exterior trim panels between the driver side door and rear passenger door are melted at the top 4 inches. The dealer would not repair under warranty, and stated Mazda will not replace it since trim is not covered. They told me to contact Mazda corporate to see if they would sell the parts at cost. Dealer price would be $200 for just the two plastic panels and me installing them at home. This was probably caused by a reflection from a building window onto the plastic trim. passenger seat belt warning light would intermittently come on even when no one was in the seat. Only way to stop the warning was to click the seat belt. The seat sensor seems to be very sensitive to anything on the seat including just a pen or tissue box. No fix. | ||
