I tried opening my trunk the other day with the key and the key wouldn't go in fully. No matter what i did i couldn't get it in. I was getting my oil changed at Mazda the day after and had them look at it and they told my it has seized. It is completely rusted and cannot be repaired. Has anyone come across this? They want to charge me to replace the lock. Shouldn't this be covered under warranty? I have NEVER heard of any lock seizing on the inside. I still have my extended warranty, but my 5yr rust warranty has passed. I can still release the trunk hatch using the switch on the inside of the car.
2004 Mazda 3 sedan.
