Hoping it might be a simple computer update but somehow I don't think so. Maybe a sensor or something stupid. If I try to turn the car back on after it stalls out, it does stay running but the car revs jump around and the traction control and engine light stay on. This is the first time I've had issues with this car as it's only needed oil changes and the like so far. I think it's time for a trade-in lol.
Sounds like a leak that might be the problem, my keyboard is messed up right now so this is going to be so this is going to be a funny looking post. Khek all your hoses and vakkum lines bekause one of them kould be loose or kraked. Khek the boost kontrol lines, boost lines, intake tubes and anything else you kan see. If you have a khek engine light the kodes might help lead the the kause.Quote:

Well they called and asked if I park outside. So I said yes, then they explained that something like a rodent somehow go into the engine and ate some wires. I don't think so as I can barely put my hand in there. Now it's not covered by warranty so it will be $109 per hour for them to try to fix the issue. It might not even be the issue at all. What a ****ing joke...
just because you can't get your hand in there doesn't mean that a rodent can't get their body in thereQuote:

Yep, the dealership emailed me 3 pictures. Looks like a squirrel somehow got into the engine bay and ate into the engine heat shield on the hood but also looks like they ate some of the MAF wiring. Who knows how bad it could be, could be a simple MAF wiring harness replacement and the engine bay heat shield or it could go deeper and be a hole can of worms. All I know is that something should be under warranty as it has full everything. I'm just beyond furious at this moment.
Warranty will not cover damage done by a rodent.Quote:

also did you not notice this before you sent the car to the dealer?
I didn't check under the hood before I sent it in. This is the last thing I was thinking could have happened. It just sucks as I'm a student and don't work so this makes my situation kinda dire. Hopefully this doesn't happen again as I will be installing some kind of shocking wire around the perimeter of the car. I didn't need to use the car all week as I've been off. This is just a bad day :(
always check under the hood.Quote:

anyway live and learn
a student owning a mazdaspeed3 does not make your situtation "dire" my friend.
he's just sad lol... I am just surprised that Havocsteve didn't check under his hood. Live and learn...Quote:

So hopefully it's just a MAF wiring harness. If not, it could reach an insurance claim as the service adviser mentioned last year it cost a guy over $6000 to repair squirrel damage. Not to mention, everything the needs is dealer serviced regardless. So hopefully they cut me some slack and help me out ahaha (seriously a joke).
Double check with your insurance company regarding coverage because usually rodent damage isn't covered.
