So just this morning, I installed the AEM short ram intake with heat shield for my 2016 Mazda 3 2.0 liter. After driving 10 minutes to work, I smelled an odd burning smell from my engine bay. I’m not certain if I was doing WOT pulls, but it may have been close. Upon arriving to work, I lifted my...

I was driving home tonight from work and when i got home i noticed a weird ticking noise coming fron the engine bay seems situated on the top right side of the engine looking in from the front, i took a audio recording, and i nnoticed a strange smell coming from the exhaust that i could smell in...

Hello everyone. I've got a 2012 Mazda 3 i Grand Touring (Skyactiv) hatch w/ about 122k miles. Still love the car and it's always been great, but lately I've started to think I may have a fuel leak because I get a strong gas smell around the car. The fuller the tank is, the stronger the smell is...

Last December I started to notice an occasional oily, gas smell coming thru the vents, only when the car has been idling for 30 mins and if I have just the heater going, no AC. It has happened a couple of times during the summer, but again only if it idled for 30 mins and the AC off. I have...

I have issue when using aircondition ( no smell or oddor at all) and after i switch it off it start to smell.Only way to get rid of it is to turn fan on max and open windows , and its gone after 1-2 minutes. Mazda 3 2017, 2.0/120hp

I hope someone can lead me to some kind of conclusion on this weird phenomenon. So, sometimes when I start my 2014 Mazda3 (doesn't matter with a warm or cold start), it smells like someone opened up a can of spray paint. It's a really alcohol-like smell. I would say it happens every 1/100 starts...

My csr (2015 GT Mazda3) is letting some weird odor when the A/C is on. It smells like letting a tire inside of your car for the entire day with the windows up. Its that smell like rubber, but comes from the vents. It has 72,000 miles on it. Enviado desde mi SM-N920T mediante Tapatalk

I've a 2016 iTouring automatic with 5,500 miles. I was entering an expressway and merged with traffic from a standstill. I pretty much depressed the gas pedal to the floor for about 4 seconds. After a few seconds, I smelled a burning odor (like burnt tires). Though I'm not 100% it was my car...

Bit the bullet and bought a white 2017 Mazda 3 GT a few days ago. My first Mazda. My first new car in almost 20 years. Things have sure changed in the past two decades. Oh good golly, I am in love with this car.

Have over 1500 miles and 6 weeks on our new 2017 2.5 Touring AT. Since the start I've notice a bit of a burnt rubber/plastic smell come from the engine bay once the car is stopped and parked. Smell doesn't really enter the cabin during normal cruising. Smells much like burned clutch, but this...

Hi. We were just gifted a 2012 Mazda 3 automatic sedan from a family member, with about 65,000 miles on the odometer. The car is great, but we are having a problem that we cannot solve. We smell a strange odor coming from the vents under a few circumstances. The odor is hard to describe, but it...

I have an RB axle back exhaust installed on my 15 Mazda 3 iGT. My car is also lowered with CS springs. When I first had my mods installed I noticed a little bit of a burning plastic / chemical smell after driving hard / hard acceleration. It seems to have decreased with time / mileage but I...

I've put about 750 miles on my 2016 i Touring. Everything is great, except now that it's getting warmer outside, I'm starting to smell antifreeze when driving. I don't smell it in the engine bay even after a long drive; it's just in the passenger compartment. That tends to mean a leaking heater...

So as you guys know the new car smells good, anyway to keep that smell lasting forever like which products to buy etc.. ?

Hi, all! I just purchased a 2011 Mazda 3 s Grand Touring from a dealer up the road. I test drove it and everything felt fine, but I didn't drive it fast or use cruise control. It was a great deal for the mileage and everything checked out great. On the way home, the highway has some rolling...

I was just thinking.. I have the 2014 Mazda3 Grand Touring with Black leather interior and it has to be the best smelling 'new car smell' of any car I've had.. I've had it for 1.5 years 30k miles and it still smells great.. just thought I'd share that 0:)

Recently my car's AC smells so bad when I turn it on, typical musty smell that makes me want to vomit, it goes away after a few min. I have 44,000KM, going to try changing the Air Filter and see if that works, if not the dealer will have to address this issue. Anyone else experience this...

Hi! I've been battling a "hydrocarbon" fumes smell problem for months. It smells like a mixture of crankcase blow by or exhaust. It feels slightly irritating to my throat when I breath it in. This happens when the engine load is high. e.g. Hard acceleration or driving on sustained inclined...

I don't know what might be causing this, but every time I use the heated seats on level 3 or higher, there is a distinctive burning smell coming from underneath the seat. This is the first time I've noticed this in the 1.5 years I've had the car. Any ideas?

I have a 2010 Mazda 3S Grand touring sedan with 50,000 miles on it. Lately it has been giving off a lot of gasoline odor and also rotten egg odor. What do you guys think it might be? Do you think it might be something that is covered under the drivetrain warranty? It drives okay it's just that...
