Thats a funny story, but it sounds like my exact issue. Im scared to slam it into a curb, but with my wife driving the car, it sounds like it should be fixed pretty soon :). Thanks again for everyones advice and I will try everything that you guys have recomended and I will respond back with...

I will give that a shot. I tried to power wash them, but maybe a break cleaner is better. Thanks

Noisy rear brakes I hope someone has some idea on my issue. Let me begin by saying I had my rear brake pads replaced back in December (they look fine). During the replacement of the pads the mechanic said my rear rotors where warped. I did not have them fixed because I did not notice an issue...

"1. What if like 3 of the 4 rims are messed up will they only replace 3? 2. If i take it to them tomorw and they see the rims with the problems, and then i put after market rims on, will i have to put the stock ones back on wen the OEM rims come in?" He checked each rim so you would only have...

Good to hear your getting rims too. Mine are in already, they are putting them on Friday :-)

Here is an update. I went to Mazda and asked if the rims are covered in warranty. They said "Are they bubbling up on you?" I said yes. They took a look and said yes they have seen this on a few cars. They are getting me 4 new rims. So anyone with a 2002 Protege with stock rims, check look at...

While washing my rims the other day, I noticed 2 of them have spots that are bubbling up as if there was rust underneath it. The next day I parked beside another Protege with the same problem. I wonder if any of you have had this issue and if this might be covered under warranty. If they are...

I got my car back from Mazda. they said they found no leak. The said the problem was probably because I had my fresh air intake on when I went through. They suggested not to have the fresh air intake on when going through car washes. I will see if this is true next time I go through a car...

Tomorrow at 9:30 I will be getting it checked out at Mazda. I will let you guys know what it was when I find out.

I tried to search but got an error. Anyways, today I was going through the car wash and then I saw foamy water coming from under neath the glove compartment area. I have never had this before and I am wondering if it was because I had the floor heater on. Any ideas? Any one have any thing...

I went out and puchased these spring things to help push the wiper down towards the windshield. It seems to be better now. They are called Sure Wipe http://www.surewipe.com/

So I have searched but have not found a brand name or where to get good winter blades. I have the Canadian Tire teflon coated ones and I thought they are suppose to be good but last year when I used them they would miss this little spot in front of my eyes and alot of the passenger side. I dealt...

I dont know the ratio of men vs women driving the yellow P5. I can tell you that I am a man and have a Yellow P5 and this is my first choice. I see you are from Markham, I am too. So see you around fellow Markham Yellow P5 guy :D

It is interesting. But for whatever reason, I swear, my paint job is just as good as day one if you minus a few little stone chips. My car would be like day one if some a-hole didnt dent the side of it in a parking lot with a shopping cart or something. I can get it fixed but it will cost 500...

I have had my car for over a year. I have never waxed it, and I do take it through the auto wash during the winter. I also park it outside. So far I have seen no fading. But who knows, my luck might start to run out.
