You may want to offer up to them that you will give it a bit of time if they want in case any more rust shows up, so that it can all be fixed at once.. maybe towards the end of summer or something.
But otherwise, it's a shame, but you paid for this paint in the beginning, it's not supposed to do this, and you shouldn't be on the hook to fix/live with it.
Cheers.
I would go back. When I go in on Thursday to drop my car off I will ask if the warranty, warranty repairs and post an answer for everyone.
MK, where did you take your car into? IIRC you had gone to Ontario Mazda before (with horrible experiences) and that's where my car/rustproofing was purchased from. Just wondering if that's where you took it back to get the warranty work done as I'm having some bubbling and rust showing under my 3rd brake light and want to get it taken care of, thanks!
I already posted that right above.Quote:

The body work they do is lifetime warranty at Mazda dealerships.
Maybe I am the first with a 2007 with rust on it.
Quick question. Will Mazda cover the cost of a rental as this is clearly Mazdas fault? I live in Newmarket and take the car ONLY to Mazda of Toronto. I WONT go anywhere near Dave Wood.
The warranty for body work might not cover rusting reappearing..Quote:

Kevcol..........you #20 picture is exactly where there is rust on mine..both sides...no other rust showing tho and it is not to that degree...I'll have to go to Kingston Mazda and see what's up

Here are some pics of a, I believe is a 2004 I saw in a parking lot.
I left a note on the windshield that Mazda would fix it free under the 5 year warranty. I also gave the owner this forum's addy and my e-mail addy to guide him or her on how to get the vehicle fixed. On one photo you can see a hole at the lower wheel well.

Where did you see this car? I think I saw the same car at Costco in Newmarket a couple of months ago

yes I think its the same car, you mentioned it before saw it in a parking lot on Harry Walker. The owner never did contact me, that was about 2 months ago. Saw it again in the same lot a few weeks later,Quote:

Wow good thing my car is not blue.
the dealership is screwing me around..they called me yesterday saying how mazda canada approved for the rust work to be done on my car yet its been a month since they took it to the bodyshop. I don't think it should take that long to get an approval and who knows how long they will have my car for. After what has happened before i don't want to take it back to that dealer again...Quote:

I'm sooo sad :(
Drew, Phil
Let me know how your dealership experience works out. So far, mine has been pretty painless. I brought it into Avante and they sent to BMC Auto to set up an appointment.
Update..apparently my car is getting a whole bunch of new parts. 3 new doors, 2 new rear quarter panels and a new trunk lid. Airport Mazda will be contacting me when the parts arrive so my car can be taken care of. They also said they will see if they can cover part of the rental costs due to the previous incident where i was paying for a rental but my car just sat in the bodyshop doing nothing. I will update everyone when my car is completed.Quote:
