The illumination of the center information display panel is very poor-to read it requires the driver to take his eyes off the road too long which is a safety hazard my dealer recognizes this problem but states there is no "factory bulletin" to repair the problem.

2006 Mazda 3 makes a noise at the rear of the vehicle. Three months after the vehicle was purchase the consumer began to hear an annoying clicking sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The dealer determined that eh problem was not mechanical and that the vehicle needed to be taken to an auto body shop. The vehicle has been at the body shop for seven weeks. They claim that the unibody weld had to be repaired but when the consumer test drove the vehicle the noise was still present.
