So few weeks ago the dealer kept my 2010 Mazda5 for almost 2 weeks and finally fixed the door latches on both sliding doors. I have an extended warranty but the repair would have been close to $2000. Then now at around 42400 miles I started having the metallic rattle noise when I am going about 40 mph and just giving it light throttle. It sound really strange like some metal thing is vibrating. I thought it was the passenger side upper mount because you can feel the grease under the rubber, the mount is not flat on the top where the rubber is. I dropped it off at dealer this AM, and they said that the mount is solid but cannot find out what the noise is just yet so they have to keep the car. They gave me the stupid V6 Mazda 6 loaner that guzzles again. I wonder what it really is. It seems as it's coming from the top right side in the engine compartment. Some people say it's engine mount, others say it's the plastinc shield, but nobody knows for sure. Well all I know is if they can't fix the noise they can buy my car back and I will buy something else. Mazda is about to go into the black book of crappy cars that I owned in my life. My wife's 7 year old civic drives like it came out of the showroom, and my van sounds like a beatup diesel tractor, or a work truck filled with a bunch of tools. Really pissed of now.
