Factory hub caps fall off while driving. Plastic clips on retention rings on inside of hubcaps break off while driving. Have lost 3 hubcaps in last 4 months. Paid $50 to replace the first one. Dealer says it has never heard/seen the problem before. Dealer offered to sell new hubcaps for cost...$31. ---planned, engineered obsolesence--- will not buy a Mazda again if they can't keep the hubcaps on the car.
