better at the dealer than at the airport...

 

I always get rides to and from the airport.

 

Anyone know why my brakes sound awesome?

 

no, tell us.

 

Town North Appt. on the 16th. Hopefully they'll have this **** down like clockwork by the time they get me in.

 

They sound like power generators shutting down as I come to a stop

 

Did anyone else in Houston get a letter from Clearlake Mazda saying if you bring in your car to get the recall work done to them they will give you free oil changes for as long as you own your 8?

 

All I've received so far was the Power Train Extention Warranty Program, which we bought the extended warranty on the car from the beginning so this will give me double coverage. no news good news? I hope so. I have less than 4500 miles on my car.

 

only half of the 06's were affected by the recall. If you haven't gotten a letter let, you are probably not part of the recall.

 

I received my letters last week. I need to make the call when I get a chance. Just got back in town.

 

called in the day i got my letter and town north said i won't be able to get my car in till oct 9th =(

 

Found out why they're taking so long. According to Town North, they are allowed by Mazda to only perform 2 engine recalls per day. Suck.

 

Mine is being looked at as we speak at MazdaSouth, they're also going to fix some post wreck issues so if all goes well it looks like my baby will be back to livable and I won't have to ditch it due to frustration, (not from the recall or anything like that, more because of it being ruined in the wreck/hail damage and never being "right afterwards") I came within inches of trading her in for a beemer (I LOVE the new Z4 coupe) but at this time I'm keeping it, paying it off, than getting new later

 

done.

Check my results in the "Recall Completed" thread in the "issues and problems" forum

 

I second that!
BTW, getting new(er) engine & clutch here.

Took my car in for a check engine light, had not received the recall notice yet however they are going to perform it. Freeman said that they are out of loaner cars so I was **** out of luck and wanted me to continue driving my car with a check engine light until their work load decreased. Made them check in the car called MNAO got a free rental from Enterprise, they are extremely back logged on cars right now, and not going to be able to work on it until Monday. No big deal going to Cancun for a week this Sunday, get back and hopefully everything will be fixed with the car. Freeman said that so far they have only had to replace 2 engines under the recall but considering this recall has only been going on since Sept 4th, that is not to promising.

 

good point from miguel. While they have the engine out... i might as well pay them a little extra to do a clutch/flywheel install.

then again, i dont even know if im getting a new motor or not.

yep i got mine about 2 weeks ago but i forgot about it im glad i read this thread

 

You should call MNAO and have them update the VIN on your 8 as yours. Once you do this you will receive all the recalls notices etc.

Jesus christ there are other dealerships in the dfdub!

 

I think my dealership already did that for me last year, I got all the letters, but thanks

 

Man, you must be pushing your baby lots of miles. I thought I was high at 74,000!

The only flood I ever had was before the new starter TSB. Maybe this is my chance to get that desireable upgrade. My heart always skips a couple beats if she doesn't fire up immediately.

 

Jeff Haas gives free oil changes if you do the rest of the scheduled maintenance with them. Great shop!!
