interesting, this is going to be my second set of motor mounts in this car, i feel the klunking on my steering wheel when i turn, its annoying, om glad i know its 4/50k, i will be taking it in on monday night then, also i know this is the wrong place but since were talking about warranties here, my brake peddal crunches, feels like im stepping on a sponge, they told me i needed new brakes and it would be fixed, i got new brakes front and rear9i did need them) and it still does it, what could this be?
Engine Mount Crack
I just brought my car a Mazda dealership. They told me that I have an engine mount crack. He made it sound like a favor that he was going to try to get it covered by warranty. is this not a warranty issue?
i have a man trans and i guess i have worn that out too.
i drive 45 freeway miles a day to work. i am quite surprised that i am having these problems. he told me i must drive the car too hard. i think he said this strictly because I have a K&N CAI.

Actually, the clutch chatter contributes to your mount failure.i think i am going to argue that a broken engine mount has led to my clutch issues.

It doesn't really matter what caused either one to fail. You can get both repaired under warranty.
This is a warranty item that should be covered under your policy. The problem is they can revoke your warranty for the mount since you have an aftermarket CAI on it under the pretence that it adds more torque and/or HP to the system. Is this true or a fact? Nope, but they can use that to wiggle out of it if they really want to avoid the cost.
True that....that's why I show my face to my dealership manager every so often and at the same time try my best to bring in some friends to see if they want a good deal on a Mazda....my partime job from Active Duty Air Force is a Mazda Bird Dog. Today my friend just bought a bran new 03 Mazda3 Hatch for 18,5....fully loaded without leather seats....because I've been doing this, when i brought my ATX in to have a look at my engine as well for the whole 5th gear rev and actually missing 6th gear, they told me they'd fix it and it ended up being an engine mount crack as well. I have a Mazdaspeed CAI and they actually told me that it didn't matter....Luckily I show face to them and they're nice right back, it's good to get in good with the dealer even though their mechanics don't know half as much as most moderators on this site.This is a warranty item that should be covered under your policy.

P.S. - Did anyone know that the Rabbit from VW is a whopping 23k brand new at dealer price? My friend got a fully loaded 3 for 18,5!! What's wrong with some dealers? Frickin Alaska I tell u!
If they dont know half as much as the mods on this site that is scary... HEHEH muahahah HAHAH
