Over the years I have had MULTIPLE problems. Almost lost a wheel on the bridge after the supposed thorough end of warranty inspection, 4th and 5th gear had never transitioned well, window motor blew, clacking sounds on my engine in permanence, etc.
Today I went to start my truck and it made a sound and felt like it was choking/going to stall. I immediately turned it off and went to check under the hood. My prestone was almost all gone; okay, weird; checked my oil and it's mucky/creamy brown. I call the garage and they say to leave it there as the head gasket is either blown or leaking. Now can you honestly tell me that it is normal for a car with less than 113k miles to have a blown head gasket?! Based on my research it should last at LEAST 250 KM.
I have always had regular oil changes and maintenance done. It's been a lemon and I tried contacting Mazda over the years with no luck. A POS.
I would greatly appreciate your input and any help you could provide, knowledge on recalls pending or if I am the lucky winner because 2012 was a bad year for Mazda CX-9.
