Is your ride a 2008 model? I am still waiting on my PS pump. It was supposed in on Monday but they did not get it. Now the ETA is for next Monday the 25… I hope it will be in I cannot wait to start driving my car around… hopefully before the breaks are fused to the rotors…

Here is my little story from another thread….

There for I was pissed at them and I decided to give Mazda Canada a call to get a straight answer. I explained the problem to the Customer Service lady at Mazda Canada. She looked into the parts situation for me and informed me that the PS pump would be back order for at least one month. This back order seems to be caused because Mazda has stopped the production because they have discovered a flaw in the pumps design and they are currently re engineering it. This means that there are a bunch of Mazda 3 owners that are screwed and will have a PS pump failure some time soon.

With this information I then call my dealer again to tell them that there was no way that I would accept driving a Versa around for a month. I demanded for them to give me a equivalent car. They called the rental place and swapped out the Versa for a Mazda 3 2010 Brand new right off the factory floor... With this ride I can now wait for the parts to arrive from Japan for my Mazda 3

If you wonder... Even if I am driving around the 2010 model... I still can’t wait to get my 2008 ride back. Driving a rental car a is never like driving your ride around.
