Actually i have lived with this problem since approx. yr.2003 one day i adjusted the lever for the brights or indicator and it felt as if it disengaged and was loose from then on. it seems that the light switch which connects with the indicator signals, intermittently the left headlight would go in and out (must have replace it three times until my husband realized it wasn't the bulb but the switch seemed to have broken loose)until recently the indicator switch would shut out the lights once i complete a turn and the switch re-adjust in place. this would happen occasionally with the brights on also. it would vary and you never know when it may happen. now the switch for the brights are not working at all. *nm
One of the park light stopped working before 1 year of purchase. airconditioner compressor makes a very distinct "click" noise inside the car. this noise is too high compared to other cars. mazda mechanic says its normal. the worst problem i faced was the transmission problem. its erratic, doesn't cross 2nd gear, and makes a scary jerk at lower speeds when the gear shifts from 2nd to 1st gear upon removing leg from gas peddal. had to tow the car twice to dealer. its disgusiting transmission. appriciate if somebody could tell me alternatives to get the problem fixed and suggest next action at [email protected] i have a new car, but can't go on ling drives as it is unreliablefrustrating
