This current round of replacement (passenger side) is with the new design one which is supposed to fix all problems. However, my driver side replacement is still with the old design which I am now worry it will happen once again in the future, in which I pointed this out to the dealer and that's my frustration on the blog is all about. It's like sitting on a ticking time bomb and when it happens, I am out $1500 and Mazda Canada will say tough luck to my case.

I do appreciate your comment.

hopefully this doesnt take you away from mazda due to a bad dealership experience. but it should have been presented in a much better way thats for sure.
