When it comes to reliability, Japanese cars would be higher. At least, that’s what our reader Alexis P. from Landerneau (29) thinks when he decides to buy a model from the land of the rising sun. His choice fell on a station wagon Mazda6in the break version SW 2.2 Skyactiv-D 175. Released in 2016, this own poster 98,400 km when, by duty, the light “ low engine oil pressure ” will light up on the instrument panel.
No more driving: Alexis has his car towed to the nearest dealership. The verdict that will be passed by the latter surprises our reader.
Repeated break
The chain that activates the oil pump is broken. Therefore, a major repair is required to restore the mechanics, which leads to the assessmentthe amount is 2367 euros. After inquiring, Alexis realizes that his problem is not unique and that the builder has known about it for several years. So he decides to ask Mazda France to cover these costs. In return, he received only 30% of the shares from the French subsidiary of the brand. Therefore, this customer must pay 1657 euros to pick up your car. But he believes that this figure is much lower than it should be, especially for a known problem. That is why he is contacting us.
Our defense strategy
We have already replicated this error which affects the 2.2 Mazda diesels. This gap is all the more surprising because the choice of a chain to drive the oil pump frees the owners of these cars from any maintenance. If the mileage is less than 100,000 km, the scale of our experts is formal. Support must be complete! However, the age of Mazda Alexis (6 years) allows the applicationdegree of moral aging 20%. Therefore, he can claim Turnout is 80%..
