    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    That makes sense, they didn’t see enough profit to do the job under warranty. BTW, my Indie mechanic called me yesterday. Cylinder 4 Engine Coil was toast. The dealer had replaced cylinder 1. He said he tested the other two cylinders and #3 had low voltage. I had him do the coils in # 2, 3...

    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    Thanks for the replies... I’m going to contact Mazda USA again and see where I can get. To clarify, they do agree the car is under CPO warranty with 100K and 7 years from in service date which is accurate on my car records and VIN. What I’ve been told is that not every part goes the full...

    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    Thanks. I just don’t know how to get the mount fixed under CPO. I called MazdaUSA and she said she could tell if it was and that only a dealer could by entering my VIN in the warranty system. The service tech did that and he read to me the info and said he would gladly repair it but the...

    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    According to Mazda, the engine mounts are a covered item but for CPO it is based upon when the car was put in to service and at how many miles. According to my VIN they told me my motor mount coverage ended in the 86,500 mile range, or in April of 2019. Apparently there are certain parts...

    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    I started this thread due to a mechanical issue with the vehicle as stated above. I had the one bad coil replaced and a new set of plugs installed as the plugs were close to their interval anyhow. CPO warranty didn’t cover the coil but did cover the leaking valve cover gasket which the...

    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    Forgot to answer a few questions in previous posts. Yes, the check engine and other dash lights all went on when it lost power and the engine was shaking according to my son. When I arrived at the scene, the car was turned off for about 20 minutes. I opened the hood, checked the oil (was...

    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    Picked up the car and drove it for a while today. Runs perfect. My impression and that of my older son is that the car is quieter and much smoother at idle. I popped the hood and it seemed to be purring vs my recent memory of the car. Service guy told me that oil had seeped in to the plug...

    Wondering if I will notice any difference with new factory plugs. More zip, smoother idle, better fuel economy, etc... I’ll call Mazda Corp on the mounts and get it on record.

    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    I’ve authorized the Mazda Dealer to replace the plugs and the one coil that has failed. I bought the car CPO at 68,000 miles and it’s been great for the last 3 years. I would normally have my indie check it out but it was in downtown New Haven, CT and still under warranty so I had it towed to...

    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    Contacted the Service Advisor again and pointed out the coverage document. He said my VIN says “expired” when he enters it in his system for the Coil and the Mounts. Yet the Valve Gasket says “covered”. He said that’s weird but he can’t cover it when the system won’t allow for it. Looks...

    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    Great, thanks! The CPO Warranty lasts until November of 2020, and I have the letter from Mazda Corporate showing the date and coverage period. I’ll look at the link you provided and see if coil is also covered. Thanks again...!

    It happened again! CPO Warranty - Should this be covered?

    Hi All - yesterday my son was driving our 2014 2.4 on Interstate 95 in New Haven and the engine started shaking and misfiring and he eventually lost all power. He was able to coast off an exit and the car was towed to a Mazda Dealer. Car has 92,000 miles and is well maintained. Dealer says...

    Transmission "lunged" in to gear. Seat belts locked.

    I was quoted about $225 to swap the plugs with OEM at dealership. Steep for sure but I plan on keeping the car for another 75,000 so I figure I should just get it done. It under CPO warranty so I'll let the dealer install just in case I get any other engine issues they will not say it was...

    Transmission "lunged" in to gear. Seat belts locked.

    Going to replace the spark plugs very soon at the dealer. They were not done previously. I'm hoping it will give the car a little more pep and perhaps smooth the idle a bit. Who knows, maybe the transmission will be more eager to downshift or at least the engine will not lug as much when I'm...
