    Re: A/C Motor On/Off Cycle

    Yes, the A/C is not on but the electric compressor motor runs in defrost mode. It would be nice if they designed it a bit differently so it doesn't cycle so often and so it spins down and spins up...

    Re: Clunking sound from FR suspension

    I've been having a creak in the front suspension when both wheels go over a bump at the same time. From reading various threads here it is just a lack of grease at one of the joints.

    I had a loud ticking sound on a much older Mazda. I was told all sorts of reasons and even had an axle replaced. They finally put it down to the steel collars in the aluminum wheels.

    ALC is supposed to auto-increase the stereo volume when the road/car noise increases at high speed or in rain and auto-decrease when you come to a stop. The higher the ALC setting is, the bigger the...

    I don't have the bass problem, but my play/pause button does not pause while listening to CDs? Maybe it is not really a pause button, any ideas?
