Just a suggestion to New Mazda5 owners:
- Take a photo of your Mazda5's undercarriage, for inventory of plastic panels fasteners, bolts and other 'service mechanic removable items'.
Come oil change time at the dealership, you'll never know if the service guy
have forgotten to re-attach a panel, a bolt or a rubber fastener. And there is no diagram in the workshop manual to tell them that 'it was there'.
in my case, they missed to re-install 2 plastic fastener for the splash shield.
took a year before I noticed. They said its normal to have 2 holes in there.
I showed them the Mz5 in their display room. And they took the 2 fasteners from their display car and installed it in mine.
