MAZDA3 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 99,000 miles

One rear coil spring snapped at about 100k miles and the mechanic had me replace both left/right shocks and springs in the rear. Then a few months later, my rear upper shock mounts sheared off.

problem #1

MAZDA3 Grand Touring 2.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 69,700 miles

Had to put in new Shocks, struts and tires w/alignment very costly. The 2008 car only had about 69,000 miles.

It should have lasted longer?
