Thanks.

Huh???? Cebu dealership bad? On the contrary, they've got a very competent & hands-on service/tech team. I give them high marks. Head is a certified BMWTech.
Never talk technical w/ sales people. Chances of getting blank stares will tend to be high.

Naalala ko tuloy when a service center couldn't even adjust the level of my headlight's beam, saying baka ma-affect yung bulb
did it myself na lang pagka uwi ko

Either some are really incompetent, or ayaw lang gawin because it is free of charge

Share us more info please, sir.
What batt brands prematurely failed & at what intervals? Rare occurence but this unfortunate thing & luck can happen.
Is the car a daily or rarely used? If the latter, your car & batt can really benefit from the Php5k CTEK® ct5 Start/Stop trickle charger. This is a proven worthy investment.
It's best to give the dealership another visit. Look for Arnel this time & tell him you're rfj. I've prompted him on your troubles. Have your electrical, charging system & batt health checked & diagnosed. There might be a live parasitic load that lingers when the car is off. If you've done electrical mods, even that simple horn swap, advise him.
In huntdowns, patience & prayers have always been good to me. I wish you the same in yours, sir. Hoping you'd finally find that thorn that's causing you distress & that joy we're all sharing with the Mownership.

No sir, just a Mazda owner here like you. Cars... a passion, tinkering....my boredom therapy, sharing...genuine joy.

Hope you'll get it sorted, sir. The current Skyactiv kodos are solid & reliable. Their charging system really isn't that complex. Who knows, it might just be a small fault magnified by some miscommunication. I'll lean positively... it'll get fixed.

The battery is a bit of a concern for me since it costs around 18K and has a mere one year warranty. Mazda is also partnering with Motolite for the battery and since its Motolite, if it only has a one year warranty, you know it will give out very soon after the warranty expires. You also have no choice but to buy the battery from the casa?

Hi mine was replaced after a year not included in the warranty mazda 6 2016.
