Just spoke to my dealer and they were helpful. They had an announcement from mazda and have been recalled at 12 today.... they said they had two others come in with similar issues. Something to poss do with the battery not sure. They said its not necessarily a terrible thing there had been a recall cos that means at least know they what the problem is. I've still not got a replacement yet cos mazda tried to fob me off with a skoda octavia but now struggling to get something ideal. Waiting on a call back from enterprise. Face palm.
Hi IM not sure where about are yous with the Same car issue that happened to me last night.
We are in Ireland, and we have the Mazda CX-60 4 months now… after only 2 weeks drive , I have started noticing a cracking noise when turning into my driveway, which is a right turn… and from that day our story begins. Our car was in the garage 5 times already, in and out with different issue that the garage seems to not have a clue … they tell us they fix the problem with the cricking noise… but when Indrive back home I can hear the same thing.
After our 3rd visit we have received 2 recall letters on 2 different issues , one of which is a problem with the software. I got the car back and after 2 days I was asked to come and collect the car. I sat in the car , there in the garage , drove 5 metres into the main road, and An engine Malfunction light switched on straight away. I was shocked, I took a picture to have a proof of it and drove back to the garage. Where I was told that the sign was there when they have parked the car so they don’t know why is that, and that I have to leave the car in the garage for an inspection again.
The car stayed in the garage over the weekend as it was Friday afternoon, then on Monday I was asked to come and collect the car as it’s sorted. So I drove the car on Monday back home, the cricking noise still there anyway, but the warning signs not there for the engine Malfunction. On Tuesday I drove the car only 10min then on Wed Evening I had a 30 km drive to my sons football training. I have parked there as I had to wait for him for 3 hours. Being in the car, after an hour I heard a beep and realised that the SOS button on the ceiling of the car has a flashing red light, I didn’t understand why is that as I didn’t press anything. So I didn’t pay attention to it. But 10 min later , I wanted to switch the engine on to charge my phone and that was the moment when I realised that my car has no sign of any electrical connection.
After calling Mazda rescue a guy came at my location, asked me again what happened… after opening the bonnet he saw something suspicious and asked me if I have opened the bonnet before him. I said that I didn’t do anything at all ( I’m a woman, wouldn’t know those things) then the guy told me that it looks like that someone already previously did what he is going to do now. To start the engine with that tool ( which I forgot how it’s called, sorry… but aim sure you know what I mean) .
So I presume in the garage the same thing happened and the mechanics forgot to close that lid that the guy from the rescue find it open. my car was taken to the garage as when he started the car a lot of worming messages appeared on the screen one of which was Hubridsystem malfunction and other . We never had any big issues with our cars before… and thinking that buying a brand new one will make our lives even easier. But wasn’t the case
