All New 2017 Mazda 3

[RedlineJunkie]

Always make a video. Contact mazda ph. They should be able to find the right service guy for this.

Yep I have a video.

Update:
So I drove the car even with this issue. When I released the handbrake, the light indicator stayed on. Now, when I honk several times, suddenly the car is back to normal, signal lights are now ok as well as the headlights and AC. The only thing that remained is the flashing amber light on the power button.

They reprogrammed the BCM the first time this issue happened.

If your VIN is covered by the recall, they'll replace the BCM outright, even w/o fault.

I wonder if it was included in the recall.. why didnt they tell RedJ....

Is there a portal for owners to check for recall for themselves?

Dealership Service Quality sadly isn't homogeneous. They're supposed to reach out to every affected VIN. I asked why I never got that call....Mine wasn't affected.

I forgot to check if the wipers are working during the issue.

My unit is included in the recall. The text message mentioned a replacement of the unit for free. But they never did.

The very first recall, they checked the wipers but never mentioned a reprogram.

Then this thing happened. They got an error code I0140 - Lost Communication with BCM. Reprogrammed. Unit for observation.

Same issue after 10 days. Reprogrammed. Unit for observation. Tech said if issue persist, had to leave the unit in casa for at least 2 days.

Kasama pala bro. Submit a complaint with Mazda PH. Mention that you already wasted 1week with this dealership with their BCM reprogramming and that issues persist. Do note the existing serial number of your BCM unit. And make sure the "new" BCM unit is in a sealed state with date of manufacture.

What were those guys up to? A waste of your time & those shop hours....Is there someone somewhere footing the bush-beat bill?[emoji848] MazdaPh should be let in on who did you this!
A recall-included VIN will have the replacement part allotted. It would've just been a matter of scheduling.

Apologies for crashing in.

Do you guys know if the wiring harness for the rear parking sensor is replaceable? Our dog got bored and chewed on it. And worse, I think he chewed on the main line. Any lead is appreciated.

The make replacement ends of the harness dont know about the main line

Good to hear that they make replacements. The connector end was the one destroyed by the dog. Hopefully, I won't buy the entire harness and the repair won't cause an arm and leg. Car is still in warranty though. :|

Having this knocking sound on humps and uneven roads. Mazda techs cant figure out the issue for 1 week now. They even try to remove the plate relocator as part of troubleshooting. Kindly share of any first hand experience. Thanks.

Hi Sirs, I have taken my M3 2017 from warranty repair and found that exposed wires and insulation. Service advisor told me that its normal since they didnt work on that part. Kindly confirm and glad if you can post pic to verify. Thanks.

None. ECU will ignore it. Mazda built the SkyActiv to run on 91RON.

Shell helix ultra is shells top of the line products. 5w30 is perfectly fine. 5w40 if you're racing...

There is Helix hx8(fully synthetic line)and hx7(semi syntethic) and hx5(multigrade) and hx3(extra affordable)

Casa is using Shell Helix Ultra Professional 5w-30. Try to look for engine oil that meets API SN and ACEA A5/B5.
Currently using Amsoil OE 5w-30 but you can also try Amsoil Signature Series. Both are cheaper than Shell Helix Ultra as well.
