Are there any issues associated with the 3.3-liter petrol engine?

Is there anybody in this group who has a vehicle with a 3.3-liter petrol engine?

I acquired a 3.3-liter gasoline-powered vehicle that was produced in July of 2023. Currently, there are no significant concerns and the vehicle operates well.

I am keenly monitoring the CX90 on the North American market, which is equipped with the same engine and gearbox. It seems that the majority of issues arise from plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) models.

There are no significant issues present in this context. Thus yet, there have been just a limited number of minor concerns. The construction project in Japan is scheduled to commence in June 2023.

At a certain juncture, the suspension system had contact or impact with a pothole, resulting in a clanking or bottoming out sensation. The situation was very humiliating, given that we had a companion present in the vehicle. The presence of a newly manufactured vehicle emitting a loud metal-on-metal clanging sound inside the interior is considered undesirable. It is unclear how they were able to mishandle the situation. Mazda asserts that there is no issue present in this situation.

Another minor concern is to the improvement, however incomplete, of the driveshaft vibration issue. During instances of intense acceleration, the vehicle experiences a noticeable shudder or tremor within the mid to upper range of its revolutions per minute. While not a significant impediment, it is quite incongruous for a recently manufactured vehicle.

Could you perhaps clarify what you mean by stating that there are no problems? The whole automobile presents a predicament. The CX60 model has encountered several issues, while the CX90 model has much more severe difficulties. Please watch the provided video and reconsider your thoughts on the matter.

In all fairness, the individual in question is engaging in speculative discourse on prospective repairs. Even in the case of new Toyota vehicles, it is necessary to do a complete engine removal in order to repair components such as the timing system and high-pressure fuel pump.

Indeed, your observation is accurate. However, considering the perceived superfluous intricacy and the evident challenges encountered with Mazda's existing SUV models, the matter at hand is not a matter of if a similar situation will arise, but rather when it will occur and, in this particular instance, to what extent it will manifest.

However, due to Mazda's provision of a six-year guarantee to all customers, the level of concern among individuals is likely to be minimal. The service provider would do the repair without any charge. However, considering the prevailing conditions, the market value of this vehicle is expected to see a significant decline. There is a general lack of interest in acquiring the product after the expiration of its warranty period. This phenomenon is once again resulting in a direct financial detriment to individuals.

I have seen the aforementioned film, and it has a considerable amount of educational value. In my perspective, the individual in question has used the term "problems" in an erroneous manner. It would be more precise to use the term "concerns"; but, this alternative phrasing may not generate a comparable level of online engagement.

Fuel injection, ABS brakes, power steering, and catalytic converters were seen as superfluous complexities. There is a lack of complaints about these matters in contemporary times. In the event of power steering failure, the necessary repairs are undertaken to rectify the issue. Indeed, automobiles have seen a significant increase in complexity, resulting in a corresponding rise in maintenance costs. However, this issue is not exclusive to Mazda, but rather affects all brands in the automotive industry, ranging from Toyota to Koenigsegg.

The guarantee provided is not extended to all individuals for a duration of six years, but rather limited to a period of three years specifically inside the United Kingdom.

In Germany, the present situation indicates a minimum duration of six years. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritise making the appropriate strategic choice for the collective.
