Got the 9 back from the dealer. PICS

Problem #1, bubbling paint around the centercaps.

Solved with 4 new wheels

Problem #2, rust forming on the tailgate.

Solved with repair and repaint

The other issue with the climate control acting up/ cold air leaking in was corrected by fixing an in-cabin sensor.

I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the experience was. I go no argument whatsoever on the wheels, they replaced them no-questions asked. Same with the tailgate and the climate control. Total for a weeks worth of work was $0. All covered under warranty.

Kudos to Mazda/Saab of Bedford, OH. They made it a great experience and even gave us a Mazda 6 loaner for the week.

What year is your 9?

What was the diagnosis on the climate control problem???

It's a 2008 that just turned 20,000 miles. They found a sensor that wasnt where it was supposed to be and rerouted and resecured it.

It is unknown how it got moved or how it's misplacement caused the cold air leak but the leak has stopped now and everything seems to be working fine.

Wow, the last owner didn't drive much did they...

We bought it new in August of 2008. It had 5,000 miles on it and had been driven by the owner of the dealership, but never sold or titled. We've only put 15k on it, and 2,500 of that was during last months florida trip
