Interestingly, inside the trunk toolkit of the CX90, there exists a designated space for the towing eye, indicating a clear anticipation of its inclusion. Consequently, the absence of this item seems to be an oversight when seen. A tow truck sent by Mazda Breakdown arrived at our location, but was unable to move the vehicle due to the absence of towing hooks necessary for securing the car onto the flatbed. Due to the vehicle being immobilised in park, using a flatbed for towing purposes would not have been a suitable option. At 1am, we were required to independently arrange for our own towing service, specifically opting for a dolly tow truck instead of a flatbed. The assigned tow truck driver successfully executed the task without encountering any difficulties, hence eliminating the necessity for the use of a towing eye. We were compelled to make the necessary arrangements subsequent to the inability of Mazda Breakdown Service to get a suitable tow vehicle for us.

Mazda has failed to provide any kind of compensation or resolution subsequent to the completion of the repair. A pertinent matter that requires resolution pertains to the reimbursement process for the car towing expenses incurred subsequent to the failure of Mazda Breakdown Service to get an appropriate tow truck within a three-hour timeframe, despite the service being sought in a metropolitan area with a population of one million people. Another issue arose when the tow truck came and discovered the absence of a 'towing eye' in the vehicle, which posed a challenge in loading the automobile onto the flatbed. Mazda made the decision to not include them as standard equipment. The dealership experienced astonishment at this realisation and subsequently made the decision to get those items for all of their new vehicles, generously providing us with a quantity of two. It is vital to verify this aspect on a recently manufactured Mazda vehicle. In any case, our vehicle has remained in satisfactory condition subsequent to the repair. There have been no reported incidents or problems throughout the recent weeks. The automobile has accumulated a distance of more than 1000 km at now.

The vehicle was retrieved from the Mazda dealership after a period of 10 days. A significant amount of effort was dedicated to the testing and diagnosis of the vehicle. Ultimately, the heater responsible for warming the water included into the battery system was replaced. The alphanumeric identifier "KMV6-61-FHX" is referenced in the user's text. The vehicle was retained for an extended period of time in order to do an extensive road evaluation prior to its return to us. The vehicle's performance is now satisfactory.

The item was entrusted to the dealer on Sunday evening, and it has been a span of seven days since then, as it is currently tuesday morning. The battery of the vehicle was recharged by the dealer, resulting in the resumption of its operation. Over the course of the last week, they have engaged in the act of driving and doing diagnostic procedures in order to identify the problem. The individual placed an order for a replacement component that pertains to the heating system, which is being sourced from the United States. According to their statement, they have engaged in telephonic communication with individuals located in Japan in order to assist in the process of diagnosing the problem. There is currently no information available on the anticipated timeframe for the restoration of the item in question. Currently, we possess a rented vehicle. I will provide an update on this forum upon receiving the item. morning. The battery of the vehicle was recharged by the dealer, resulting in the resumption of its operation.

The evening was not satisfactory. Two days after the receipt of the vehicle, it had a malfunction at an intersection, rendering it unable to start or shift out of the park position. Two significant faults have been reported: Hybrid System Malfunction, which renders the car inoperable, and Electrical Leakage in Hybrid System Detected. The vehicle's immobilisation in the park position, necessitating the use of specialised towing equipment, resulted in a two-hour wait for the arrival of a tow truck. The tow truck is expected to arrive around 1am.

It is not very feasible to transport on a regular basis. The available pouches are affordable, efficient, and conveniently portable inside one's pocket. The first inquiry I made about keyless access pertained to the rationale for its implementation. What is the rationale for the need of safeguarding the fobs?

Typically, I use the windscreen and leg ventilation setting while setting the fan speed to level "2". This effectively resolves the matter and maintains its resolution. In winter, the automatic setting consistently prioritises warming up the legs by directing airflow towards the windscreen. This convenient feature allows for the simple adjustment of directing airflow towards both the windscreen and legs, enabling users to maintain this setting throughout the whole fall and winter seasons.

The dealer has conducted many tests on the start battery and always confirmed its satisfactory condition. However, the primary battery experienced another depletion subsequent to the upgrade of the battery system. As previously said, it is important to note that the start battery, often found in standard cars, might sustain damage if it is discharged excessively, irrespective of the information provided by a battery tester. If the power of a fully charged 12V battery is sufficiently great, it has the ability to mask the presence of a faulty cell. Consequently, I strongly advocated for the replacement of the 12V (start) battery with the dealer, a course of action that is scheduled to take place at the conclusion of the current month. I will provide an update once the findings have been obtained.

Mazda has released a software update for its start battery charging system. If your vehicle has not yet gotten it, kindly request for it. I had a similar problem when the primary battery experienced self-discharge, resulting in a complete system failure within a span of around one week. When the ignition button is turned off, electricity to all automobile systems such as the air conditioning, fan, and primary lighting is consistently off. However, my vehicle had many instances of a drained starting battery. On many occasions, the power supply experienced a decrease to a voltage level of 2.5 Volts, a phenomenon that has the potential to diminish the longevity of a battery by causing the failure of a battery cell. During the most recent occurrence, which took place last week, the support technician provided instructions on gaining access to the vehicle in the event of the automatic locking system engaging and preventing entry via the doors. Unfortunately, access to the hood latch was not available. After gaining access to the automobile, the user proceeded to activate the ignition by pressing the ON button. They then proceeded to deactivate all auxiliary equipment such as lights, air conditioning, and the fan. Furthermore, they instructed me to maintain this state for a duration of many hours. If there is a enough amount of power remaining in the traction battery, it will be used to provide power to the start battery. The value of 25% may be regarded as satisfactory. I recommend disabling the automatic door locks. I hope this information is beneficial for future reference.

Is the navigation system a worthwhile investment?
Gianni682 replied to TechnoTrailblazer's topic in General Car Chat
Waze is often regarded as a very effective and superior navigation system in comparison to other available options. Google Maps is almost equivalent to Waze, with a similarity rate of 90%. All other factors, all other considerations, are significantly overshadowed by the importance of these two. -
Turn signal/hazard relay, new one doesn't seem to fit anywhere... Yeah. Its extremely odd, was reading half a tank and stayed there until this morning, when I'm quite sure I was near to running out of gas, so I'll have to attempt to get the component. I filled the tank from where it said it was empty, and now it shows that it's just halfway full. LOL. The turn signal relay finally broke on me, so I'm assuming the tank component will need a trip to the shop. Extremely pricey, but perhaps worthwhile in the end. The new engine is doing well with just a few hundred thousand clicks on it so far. From my experience with used cars, I can safely say this is the greatest one I've driven thus far. So very, very much appreciated!

The flashers and hazards are now operational, so at least that's something. To my surprise, the replacement unit's plug-in was just where it was supposed to be, proving that the business had originally sold me the erroneous item. LOL. Again, I appreciate the gas gauge. I haven't had a chance to remove the seat just yet, but I want to do it as soon as I can. Do I need to replace yet another relay?
-
I believe the previous owner of my vehicle took out the relay that controls the hazard and turn signals, and I have no idea where to place the new one. I've checked all the wiring to make sure they're fine and the turn signals and hazards still don't function. I'm at a loss as to how to proceed in the absence of a suitable close-up diagram. I even bought the repair manual, but all it does is offer a broad description of possible locations. ARG! Because the old one isn't there, no one appears to know where to put in the new one. I've had three different mechanics attempt to figure this out, and I'm beyond annoyed.

04 Mazda 6 car V6 trouble with smoke after 46k miles
Gianni682 replied to ENVIOclev's topic in General Car Chat
I successfully replaced the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve. The acquisition of the item should be facilitated by the authorized vendor. The technician performed the installation on my behalf. The cost of the item from the merchant was not high. -
The vehicle in question is equipped with an automatic transmission. Despite the user's attempt to reset the system, the odometer continues to display the word "GAGE" and the automobile remains inoperable. I have diligently adhered to all prescribed reset protocols and undertaken the replacement of various components, including switches, fuses, and relays, all of which have been confirmed to be in satisfactory working condition. However, despite these efforts, the vehicle remains unable to start the cranking process due to the activation of the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS). What should I do at this moment? Assistance is requested.
