under warranty? My husband's 2007 Mazda 3 has been knocking. He had to drive it home and then to the dealership on Monday (9/29). The car is still in the shop. We've provided all the maintenance receipts as of Friday. Dealership called my husband today saying they needed his OK to open it up and if they see that it wasn't properly lubricated they will charge him for the whole deal. The car is still under warranty, they have the proof of maintenance. Is this guy just being a jerk? Or have other people experienced something similar? This smells like a lawsuit!
Engine started knocking on Sat 9/27. Dealership is closed on wknds. Delivered to dealership at 9am Monday 9/30.
We only drove it to the dealer. No one is arguing negligence. It's been properly maintained on schedule. They STILL don't want to do the work.
btw, it's $8,000 for a new engine.
 
who do the last tune up? maybe the problem was there

the new cars are not suppose to do that kind of problems so early
consult a lawyer because some one here has the fault on this, i think the last person who do the job was the problem but there are many other questions to make

there are some laboratories who take samples of the engine oil to determine what was wrong with the engine and with the metal particles on the oil they can say from what part the problem came

take a good consult before everything
