NHTSA — Service Brakes, Electric Problems

CarComplaints.com Notes: Except for a minor issue with cracked motor mounts, the 2008 MAZDA3 is a fantastic vehicle with a great reputation.

If you need to replace the motor mounts, first ask your dealer if they'll cover it -- the motor mounts were dealt with in a TSB & were recalled for some model years. Otherwise buy aftermarket motor mounts -- owners report this solves the problem. If you use the same OEM parts, they may just crack again.

My daughter noticed at when stopping that the steering wheel would shack. Upon having the dealer look at this issue they said it was due to hi-speed stopping, and that it could be corrected by replacing the rotors and pads with oem parts. I think that at just 17,000 miles that this should not be a issue. I could only speak to a customer service rep and not a district rep, and was told they would check into this and get back to me. This never happened.
