Mazda 3 problem..

[allen_the_great]

pa-rant lang and patulong na din sa mga knowledgeable sa tsikot. ano kaya problema ng mazda 3 ko? binili ko sya feb 2005. bihira ko gamitin. simula lang lumakas yung paggamit ko mga last year. tapos everytime isstart ko, hindi lagi mai-start. kelangan pa lagi gumamit ng jumper samantalang bagong bago yung battery ko (Outlast) . pinacheck ko sa casa, sabi ng casa battery daw ang problema, kasi lagi naddrain. baka defective daw yung battery. pinapalitan ko yung battery sa store na pinagbilhan ko, binigay sakin service battery pero ganun pa din yung problem, hindi pa rin mai-start ng maayos. finally, to eliminate the battery-problem angle, bumili ulit ako ng brand new na battery, Motolite na binili ko kasi yun daw gamit ng Mazda. After a few good starts, na-experience ko nanaman yung same problem- hindi nagsstart ng maayos yung Mazda 3 ko. i've had enough, pinadala ko sa casa yung kotse. diagnosis nila: problema daw sa engine ko. kelangan daw ng engine top overhaul? it'll cost me around 30k daw. WTF? overhaul ng makina eh relatively bago lang yung sasakyan.

sabi nung service advisor sa Mazda Q Ave, nacontaminate daw yung makina ko. kelangan daw caltex gamitin ko na gasolina. langya. di naman ako nagpapagasolina sa mga mabababang lugar na prone to floods. pano macocontaminate kotse ko? and bakit ung iba kong kotse hindi nacocontaminate? i'm beginning to wonder tuloy if bulok pa rin ang mazda o natiyempo lang na bulok ang nakuha kong unit. sabi pa ng SA, kasi daw dapat 4k RPM ang average na takbo ng kotse. kaya daw nagkaproblem sa kotse ko kasi less than 4k RPM ang average na takbo ko. WTF? 4k RPM ang average dapat? first time ko yata nakarinig ng ganun.

anyway, sana matulungan nyo ako kung ano mga points ko laban sa Mazda. Thanks.

Top overhaul! at 4K RPM! Hanap ka ng ibang casa sir, baka alternator ang problema ng kotse ninyo.

Resing resing kana nun pag average RPM mo is 4K, below sea level yang SA mo sir.

[aga_cruz]

sir baka nga alternator o kaya supply ng ground ang may problem???

sayang naman yan sir kung iooverhaul??

[ghosthunter]

Our Mazda3 never had that problem.

Anyway, your problem sounds like there is an electrical ground in the electrical system causing the battery to discharge itself over a short period of time. It's also possible that some of the electronics is not switched off from the battery when the key is switched off.

Hindi na ba under warranty? Talk directly to the Service Supervisor. I heard maganda daw ang service sa Mazda Greenhills.

Pahabol.... I received a recall notice for the 2005 Mazda 3 I bought April 2005. It involves a possible electrical failure with a wire badly placed near the engine throttle. Your car may even catch fire. Kung hindi pa correct ito baka this is the cause of the short circuiting.

Another lemon car in the offing? My gulay what is happening to our dealers?

Ipa-charge mo battery (just in case di na umubra sa jumper 'coz of full drain) then try to crank it, now kung nag-start na, pa-check mo sa mga dealers ng battery (o kahit yung mga gumagawa ng alternator/electricals etc.kung may gamit sila) kung kumakarga yung batt. Kung kumakarga naman (supposedly di baba dapat ng 13 amp ang reading nyan, pag bumaba like 9 o 8 amp or lower, then mahina na charging nun). Just in case ganun nga, probably o possibly ground na may problema dun.

The batt indicator (in the dashboard panel) will lit perpetually if it's not charging...so generally, it's one of the sign of a busted alternator.

Nakakapagtaka, too early or premature wear and tear naman yan for a less-used vehicle, defective nailagay sa oto mo bro... tsk tsk tsk how bad is it!

sir, pwede ko ba mkuha cellphone number ni eric of mazda greenhills? my mazda 3 2008's battery died earlier. after replacing the battery, the driver side window's auto up & down function was lost.

You have to "reset" this function for the driver's window. The owner's manual should tell you how.

It's not a Mazda-only thing. Honda also requires you to reset the driver's window automatic functions every time you disconnect the battery.

Stupid mechanic. Dapat yata nasa Goon Squad to.

Kung may mekanikong nagsabi sa akin ng ng ganyan, baka nabatukan ko yon. Jeez, what a stupid comment. Running any passenger sedan at 4k rpm wouldn't be fuel efficient.
