So I recently just bought a 2007 Mazda 3. when I put the key into the ignition and turn it on even if I don't fully start it it makes this beeping sound it does it I don't know maybe about 10 times and it's just super loud and annoying. I was wondering what that is and if there's a way I could...

2015 mazda3i automatic, 80k miles. so i was away for a month. came back, started car and stupidly drove it immediately instead of letting it idle so fluids would replenish into the right places. luckily i was in my garage and drove down the long, narrow, steep driveway slowly. 1) everytime i...

Hey everyone, 2014 Mazda 3 GS I'm having an issue with my audio system where my speakers are making a constant popping sound when the car is turned off. When I turn on my car, it will go away - however, there will be times where there will be no audio coming from the speakers. I haven't...

Hi all. If someone is able to point me to a more suitable thread for this query that would be great. Otherwise ... When turning the ignition to start the car there is an audible 'tap' sound from behind me - like someone has gently tapped something with a wrench - again, not loud but noticeable...

Personally I HATE cats lol....But I like to be different as well and not spending $400 + on a system and save some $ at the same time. My current muffler is still 100% intact as I sourced a muffler from a cx9 that got rear ended at work and cut the flange off for my setup. Here is a link to how...

When I go to put my lugs in, they begin to croak a little when it gets to the very end where it wont tighten anymore. I'm using a single-handed tire iron and not exerting that much force. I only go until it stops tightening and I'm a pretty skinny guy (so no intense muscular force on it). I have...

so only about 38k on the and only 6 months out of warranty :( and the heater blower sounds like it is out of balance. Seems like it is running slow. I've cleaned out the area around the cabin air filer and such. Just a bunch of leaves. Not sure how to check the resistor on it (as in which...

Hi Ive noticed that during normal cornering, I hear annoying squeaking sounds. I Tried to find out where the sound originated and found it came from the center console. see picture. can anyone help how i can minimize the sound. Dealership says it cant do anything :(

So I took my Mazda 3 to get an oil change yesterday and now it sounds like I have a damn glass pack for a muffler. Okay, maybe its not that bad but it definitely sounds different.. It seems to only happen when I step on the gas. I'm wondering what the problem could be? As I read online people...

I purchased a 2015 Mazda iGT back in October 2015. It has 22k miles on it now and I'm starting to get really irritated with the interior quality. I purchased the car because it had amazing reviews and the interior quality was noted as being excellent. The few issues I'm having: Piano black...

What's up guys this is my first post on this forum! I'm hoping that being a part of this will help me take care of my car better. I like to listen to trap music, therefore am really into a lot of bass. I have a '15 5-door w/o Bose speakers and they're starting to make parts in my car vibrate...

Hello all, I have a 2015 Mazda3 i Grand Touring. I have been trying to figure out this issue but have come up with nothing, and none of my in car testing has proven successful. I have an iphone 6 running iOS 8.2 My issue is when I have my phone plugged in via USB to play my audio files I do...

So I have always noticed strange interior sounds like from the door handle area where that plastic piece covers a screw when there is a lot of bass. Which I still haven't fooled much with to try to fix. Now it seems that the infotainment unit itself or somewhere in that general area is making...

I've been having this sound since I picked up my car in December. They told me this sound was normal and it would go away, but it became worse overtime. It is audible both inside the car and outside. In this video I put my phone/camera down beside my left thigh. Sorry for the loud pop at 2...

Hi guys, I am new on this forum (obviously) and I have been actively looking for a used car with a budget of $6000-$9000 and recently came across this unit for sale. As the title says, it's a 2008 Mazda 3, i Touring trim, manual transmission with 95k miles on it, private party, located at Salt...

OK, I have a bunch of text from family, my mom is ill so we all have been in touch. :sad 1: I noticed today that I did not hear any SOUND ALERTS from my iPhone while driving. It was on the console sitting there in plain site to hear. Volume was up all the way. I can see the screen light up, but...

My latest issue with my 12 Mazda 3 Grand Touring Sedan (skyactiv) is the back windshield making loud cracking and creaking sounds. It sounds like glass shattering or cracking. Yes, it has been very cold lately but this does not sound normal at all. I took it to the dealership about a month ago...

Basically this thread is to talk about all issues of the new infotainment system. Any problems, solutions, ideas, guides, and so on can be posted here.

Alright guys, I made a little video of my totally stock Mazda 3 Skyactiv, and man, that exhaust ain't bad! Not bad at all. Thought that you guys would like to hear from the outside, in a video, on this forum. Or maybe this is worthless to you. Still, I thought I would share. Enjoi! :beerchug 1...
