Hello,
I started noticing something more and more on my 2005 5 door sedan, GT+GFX Mazda 3. Whenever I break from 110-120+ down to 80 km/h, the steering wheel shakes like mad.
Took the car for service (official Mazda service), and they said the front disks have something (they're unevenly used up or something), that they need to be treated on some machine and that will cost $200. They took $50 for diagnostics already.
My question is, shouldn't this be covered under regular (non-extended) warranty of the car? I got it in August 2005, so its less than 2 years, and has 41000km. Additionally, one set of disks was replaced under warranty, as they were making squeaking noises at around 8000 km, so these damaged disks now have about 30000km of drive. The dealership says that the warranty is gone as I refused a $200 disk cleaning at 16000 km, that was apparently recommended maintenance, which I think is BS, as 1, the disks were changed at less than 16000, and 2, I had the disks cleaned when I did tire rotation at a different place.
Thank you!
