The back rear wheel wells collect so much dirt and salt it ends up rusting it out! there needs to be plastic cover for the wheel wells or better drain holes! i wash my car every week in the winter and it is still hard to prevent it! the rear strut mount takes a toll on the abuse from all the salt and dirt that collects near the top where it is screwed in! had my strut break twice in one month! there needs to be better drain holes for the doors too! *tr
Had a rim on a mazda 3 come apart after hitting a small pothole on the interstate which the rim clearly has to be defective to cause this much damage for such minimal impact. took to dealer for remedy. service manager says this happens quite often. nothing was done to correct failure except buy a new defective rim to replace the old defective rim. *nm
