I am getting this warning in daytime and at night. It will go on and very rarely it goes off while driving. Sometimes my mirrors will still indicate someone in my blind spot when warning is up sometimes it doesnt. I asked the dealer and they said either it can be sunlight (which i doubt) or my...

Hi, I bought a 2019 Mazda 3 AWD Premium hatchback about 2 months ago. I love it! However, there have been 3 instances where the smart brake support/collision avoidance has kicked in unexpectedly. I'm not sure what the exact safety feature/system is called, but it has to do with braking. All 3...

I got the “Safety & driver support systems disabled” error twice today & Mazda didn’t have an answer this time...Can someone remind me what that means? Is it too hot outside, cold, windy or what? I swear this thing is a weathervane not a car.

I really love these cars, so I finally got one! After lurking this forum for a while I thought now I'd sign up. It seems to run well, it was very cheap, 230km on it, it's well used and needs some work for sure. Body and inter are looking good at least! I just changed the oil/filter (was...

I start my car as per usual and everything seems to be smooth. As I approach a stop sign my foot naturally goes towards the break pedals however, my car does not stop at all. I almost got into two accidents as I ran past two stop signs. My foot is hard on my break pedals the whole time and my...

I just bought a 2004 Mazda RX8 manual 6 speed. I have heard that the top speed is 147 or so. I would like to experience that in this car. My question is will the car handle it? Is there any known problems with the car, mainly the tires or anything that would cause me to lose control at that...

hello everyone. wrote these 4 beginners guides during my time over at a hyundai site while i still owned my old accent. i do recognize that these newer cars don't require much, but the day will come. many found these guides useful, maybe someone here will too. although they are a little...

Hello all! I'm sure you have all seen the Land Rover vs. Motorcyclist story all over the news. My question is what would you do if you were in a similar situation in your Mazda3/Speed3?

Do you hear squeal or screech when braking? Do you feel it takes your vehicle longer to stop? Well, it's high time to check your brakes then. And if there is any noticeable damage, like cracks, grooves, heat spots or rust, don't waste time and replace the worn-out brake components as soon as...
