| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: About one month after my purchase of my brand new mazda3, i checked the tire pressures. all 4 tyres were 50 psi!! 18 psi more than the recommended tire pressure and 6 psi more than maximum allowable pressure. i could not believe that it might be possible, i made sure that the device was measuring accurately and also ask somebody else to check the tire pressure. yes all four tires were 50 psi. i drove that vehicle for about 3000 miles mostly on highway with those over inflated tires!!! i am lucky to be alive. either the dealer (cook mazda in michigan) or in some other mazda facility, the tires were overinflated probably because of an uncalibrated tool. i believe my car is not the only mazda car with overinflated tires in traffic. *ak |
