7:05 Climate control systems never blow hot air onto face level. If you look underneath the front seats, I'm sure you'll find an extra set of air vents, these are designed for heating the cabin. Hot air raises so it makes sense to put the vents at the bottom of the cabin.
Consumer LS - purchased Mazda CX-3 A 6A Akari Diesel All Wheel Drive with automatic transmission, in August 2015 for approximately $39,000 Between about October 2015 and January 2016, the vehicle intermittently “jerked” and lostpower while driving. It became more frequent and intense over time. LS took the vehicle to the local Mazda dealership a few times but was told they could not find anything wrong with it. Around 15 January 2016, LS took the vehicle to the dealership because the issue had become worse. The dealer told LS there was an “internal fault” and the transmission in the vehicle would be replaced. The vehicle was under repair for about two weeks. On 25 January 2016, LS called Mazda and asked “is there anything else? Can I have a new car? What can I do?” and Mazda said that “in regards to the consumer affairs” Mazda had a right to repair the vehicle which is why it had replaced the transmission and “in regards to a new vehicle, if it did fail again, it may be something that could be looked into”. LS felt that Mazda did not properly explain what hadcaused the problems. LS thought the vehicle was defective and a lemon, and unsafe and unsuitable to drive. Based on LS’s conversations with Mazda, LS felt LS did not have a choice other than to accept the repairs, pick up the vehicle and continue driving the vehicle for work. Between February and mid 2017, the vehicle again intermittently lost power while driving. On more than one occasion, the vehicle lost power while driving on a highway at high speed. By mid 2017, it was happening around every day and sometimes multiple times a day. LS considered this made the vehicle unsafe, and unsuitable to drive. On most occasions, LS took the vehicle to a dealer. Despite repeated testing, the dealers said they couldn’t find anything wrong with it and it was “ok to go”. The problems got worse. In June 2017, LS took the vehicle to the dealer and about a week later the dealer told LS the vehicle required an engine replacement. LS was very upset and later called Mazda and asked for a replacement vehicle. Mazda told LS the earlier transmission failure was a major failure, but the engine replacement was not a major failure. LS said the vehicle did not live up to the purpose or expectations for which LS had bought it. On 12 July 2017, Mazda told LS that it was “not entertaining the idea of a buy back”. When LS asked whether “anybody ever gets a buy back”, Mazda said “it does happen but it is very rare” and “it’s normally brand new vehicles”. Mazda offered LS “compensation” of an extended warranty for manufacturing defects and two free services. When LS asked Mazda whether it was worthwhile LS pushing the matter further,Mazda said it wouldn’t want LS to “waste [LS’s] time” and that where people had pushed before there had not been a “great outcome… in regards to personal costs and court time and all the other things that go along with it”. On 16 July 2017, LS informed Mazda in writing that LS had no confidence in the vehicle, LS did not consider that it performed within specification or was trustworthy, and that LS considered the vehicle to have experienced two “major fails”. LS said LS would not have bought the vehicle had LS known of the faults with it. On 17 July 2017, Mazda told LS that it was not able to replace the vehicle but could assist LS with “changeover costs” of a replacement vehicle if LS wanted to trade in LS’s vehicle for another Mazda vehicle. LS was told by Mazda to return the loan vehicle, and LS felt pressured to collect the vehicle even though LS had said LS did not feel safe driving the vehicle. When LS picked up the vehicle from the dealership, the dealership told LS “this is the second major fail” and said LS needed to call Mazda. On 3 August 2017, LS told Mazda that LS considered the vehicle had not lived up to the consumer guarantees and that anyone would consider an engine replacement and transmission replacement to be a major failure. Mazda said it would try to put LS’s case back to the legal team but did not believe they would look into buying the vehicle back but LS was entitled to pursue whatever legal action LS considered necessary. On 8 August 2017, Mazda told LS that “legal”had not changed their position in regards to buying the vehicle back or replacing the vehicle. LS repeated that LS did not think the vehicle had lived up to the original specifications and had no confidence in the vehicle. LS ended up giving up on the request for a refund or replacement and accepting the offer of an extended warranty and services. LS felt like LS had no other option. LS found the process of dealing with Mazda very frustrating. From ACCC vs mazda
Great video review Jenny. Thinking of trading in My older 4x4 in one of these. Where You did this review is only down the Road from My place .Keep up the great work .
@@richieduck67 may be the vacuum created by door closure has irritated her. Some cars have this issue. I had a car with this same issue and while closing door, i put 1 or 2 windows down so I won’t feel the sudden air pressure in my ears.
" muy comoda" if I get one I would love it if Jenny would be the one to bring it to me, I love her I don't miss one single video. keep up the good work... peace from 🇺🇾 UY
Yeah sorry - normally like the reviews - this was complete fluff. People are going to buy this for off-roading. Raving about off-road capabilities while using Isuzu marketing stock footage does not make a review. If you are reviewing off-road 'later' just omit for now. Not a mention of the elephant in the room of huge price increases? Do we think that is justified?
Hi Matt, thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately with lockdowns and current climate we were restricted in what we could do with the allocated time we had with the vehicle. You are right off-roading is an important part of why people would choose this vehicle so we do have a plan to revisit it at a later stage with a focus on off-roading. For us the price increase did seem justified in part given that this is a completely new car and not just an update. And with the amount of features and tech that have been improved and added a price increase is to be expected. But was it too much of a hike? This is where we are interested in your ideas on this so please do share.
Mazda = Headache Check the ACCC vs Mazda, you will get more real cases. The ACCC has instituted proceedings in the Federal Court against Mazda Australia Pty Ltd (Mazda) alleging that Mazda engaged in unconscionable conduct and made false or misleading representations in its dealings with consumers Mazda has bad engines!!! bad service!!! I got a brand new cx-9 5 months ago in Brisbane, it has been towed back to dealership twice due to engine issues. and mazda never told you any detail about your car's issue. Never trust Mazda.
