Alright, my Mazda3 is about 2 years old now, My car was made on May, 04, I did not have this problem when I first got the car, I can\'t remember when this problem started, it never really bothers me till now, it is becoming quite annoying and I am kind of worry that some components could be wearing out or damaged.
Here is the problem description, very simple to produce: When the shift gear is on P (PARKING), and EVERYTIME I step on brakes, there is a very obvious \"clicking\" noise comes right below the shift gear box. And strangely, it only happens if the shift gear is on P, no clicking sound on any other gear, (N, R, D, M). I checked Rosenthal Mazda3 Service Bulletins (http://www.finishlineperformance.com/mazda3/bulletins_index.html) for any related TSBs and found nothing.
I was at MoT last Saturday again, after the incident I had on Canada day (refer to my other post on Dealer Review forum), explained to the service advisor about my problem, 4 hours later and they called me and said they could not duplicate the problem. Well, the clicking sound is loud enough to hear it, so why couldn\'t they hear it? Should I get a second opinion?
