Service Request Number .........
Hello Mr. ......,
Thank you for taking the time to contact Mazda.
As discussed, the Real-Time Traffic application was a part of a trial subscription Mazda held with a particular vendor. This trial has ended and this specific application is no longer available for the vehicle. The live traffic application was a separate addition that was integrated into the navigation system. Mazda is in contact with vendors frequently to discuss possible applications for current and future vehicles, however at this time we have not been advised as to whether the real time traffic will be activated for the 2016 CX-5 in the future.
Reimbursement for the navigation system would not be provided, however should you experience any manufacturer defects or workmanship concerns with the system, it is covered within the basic warranty parameters of 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. With that said, Mazda also recognizes that this change may have caused inconvenience and has offered to provide a $100 Mazda gift card as a one-time goodwill gesture. Mazda gift cards are valid for a full year and can be used towards service, parts, or accessories at any authorized Mazda dealership.
Should you have any additional questions or need assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to contact us. I have provided the reference number for our call today as well as myself and Chris' contact information for you below.
Sincerely,
Tania
