2004 Mazda 3 GT 180,000 km started showing rust just above the door body on the B pillars of front and rear doors on both sides of the car.
Took it in to Gyro Mazda ( Feb 2010 )and they sent in a request to Mazda for inspection.
Mazda has agreed to repair the rust at no charge.
The fix includes replacing, not repairing, the frame component on the rear door B pillars and replacing (at least in my case) both front doors. They will also blend the paint on the rear doors and front fender to match the new doors.
Stellar customer service!:winner

Unless this is in the wrong section and you're giving kudos to Gyro, this topic has been covered lotsssssss over the past year. Some people get replacements and some people just get a repair job. Luck of the draw I think :(

+1. No need for another thread on the rust issues. Many have had theirs replaced/fixed so please search around.
