My car: 2004 Mazda 3s Hatchback, 35K miles

I see others have issues with the 3s....as do I. I have 15K miles left on the warranty and don't know if I want to keep the car, or sell before the warranty is up. Here is what has gone wrong so far:

Total engine failure...14K miles. Got entire engine replaced.
Fuel pump failed...16K miles. New fuel pump for me.
AC not kicking on...17K miles. Compressor fixed.
Left axle shaft vibration...32K miles = New left axle shaft

Oh and I had to get all new tires at 30K because the factory ones were bald....eagle rsa's are horrible.

So yep, that's what's going on with my 3. I love it...when it is out of the shop.
Any one else having the same issues? I am going to write a long letter to mazda here soon, let them know what's going on.

 

You had all the services done at the Dealership and the engine failed at 14k?

 

Yes all the work was done at one dealership....and yep the engine basically killed itself at 14k.

 

Now that crazy but not unexpected, my dad baught a camaro a while back the same time his brother did, same year same dealership, the exact same car my dads brother never had a problem with it he still has it, its 15 years old now, my dad on the other hand numerous problems with it, but the thing is they both treated it the same way, they kept them in good shape and everything, i guess what im trying to say is it may not be the car it might have been the dealerships fault or even the factory it came out of.
