I took my rx in to get power steering issues fixed just to find out that the oil cooler lines were rusting out which is also a recall in other parts of the world but not the us. In the upper states this can be a massive problem if oil starts spraying all over the motor and the ground it could cause environmental, and safety hazards to other people on the road. If gone unnoticed it could easily cause engine failure and potential fires from the motor while on the road which no one wants, there's no reason this recall should not apply to the us, atleast the northernmost states.

To whom it may concern. I purchase the car on July 21 2017. The ac has not been working properly since I purchased the car. Now the Mazda dealership wants me to pay for this to get fix. I was wondering if some can help me out with this. Before I give this car back to the dealer and they can keep the car. I'm not paying 1.900.00 to have the car fix. Thank you please let me know what we can do to get this fix!

The dashboard that covers the passenger airbag has been cracking in the outline of the airbag since prior to 10/4/2012. Mazda said they would not cover the replacement. I've attached my 10/4/2012 request for an estimate of repair, but I did not get it repaired. I believe they should be paying for this defect. I've also attached a picture of the dashboard as of today. I am afraid it is going to burst open and injure or kill someone.
