What Is The Mazda Warranty? A Clear Guide to Mazda's Coverage

You can reduce your car ownership costs when you buy a used or certified pre-owned Mazda at your local dealership. These affordable models are just as reliable as brand-new Mazdas but are a few years old and have a lower value because of depreciation. Certified Pre-Owned vs. Used: What's the Difference? The key difference between a used Mazda and a CPO Mazda is the stringent standards the vehicle must meet to be part of the certified pre-owned program. While both are secondhand vehicles, only a CPO Mazda has passed a 160-point vehicle inspection to ensure the vehicle is in peak condition. Additionally, Mazda vehicles are only qualified for the CPO program if they are less than six years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. A used car, on the other hand, can be as old as 10 years or more and may have more miles on the odometer, depending on how much the previous owner drove the vehicle. Buying a used car from a Mazda retailer typically means the vehicle has also been inspected and repaired, but drivers won't enjoy the same perks that come with a CPO Mazda. more Perks of Buying a CPO Mazda When you buy a certified pre-owned Mazda, you get the benefit of a 12,000-mile or 12-month limited vehicle warranty that will cover repairs for defective mechanical parts. Along with this peace of mind, Mazda also gives CPOs a seven-year or 100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty to cover repairs for the most crucial parts of the engine. The CPO program has a $0 deductible on repairs that are covered by either of these warranties, so you will not have significant out-of-pocket costs to replace major mechanical components. A 24-hour roadside assistance program is complimentary for CPO vehicles, along with an AutoCheck vehicle history report and a three-month SiriusXM All Access trial. Perks of Buying a Used Mazda If your primary goal is to save money on buying a new vehicle, then you may want to choose a used vehicle from your dealership's lot. Because a used Mazda is not part of the CPO program, it's usually priced a little lower. This can be a huge advantage since a used car might be only a few years old but may be excluded from the CPO program for having more than 80,000 miles logged on the odometer. This can save you tons of money, especially if you're trading in your current model or you qualify for one of Mazda's special financing programs. Ultimately, choosing between a used and a CPO Mazda will depend on your finances and whether you prefer a more comprehensive inspection for a secondhand vehicle.

Slipping Gears Slipping gears can be very frightening. It happens because your transmission doesn't shift at the correct time, making it harder for you to stay in control of your car when accelerating and decelerating. Your engine could rev too much, too, without the speed you're driving at increasing. more 2. Jolting or Shaking Whether the sensation is subtle or strong, any vibrating, jolting, or shaking during gear changes tells you that there's something wrong. If your car has a manual transmission, then you may notice the gears grinding when you attempt to change gears. 3. Trouble Switching Gears Cars often have trouble shifting gears when the transmission isn't working properly. Sometimes this is a case of having contaminated transmission fluid, but the issue could be something more serious, too. If your vehicle won't switch gears, whether this is a constant or occasional problem, then make sure you visit the dealer to get the transmission system inspected. 4. Strange Noises Cars often make strange noises when there's something wrong with them. Grinding or bumping sounds happening while you've got your car in neutral tell you that your transmission system is having problems. Noises in neutral can occur for various reasons, from low transmission fluid to a much more serious transmission problem. 5. Transmission Fluid Leak Always inspect the area around your vehicle for puddles of fluid. This is so you'll notice when one of the fluids in your car is leaking out of it. Transmission fluid usually smells sweet and is red, so tell your dealer if you see this fluid around your vehicle, and get to the dealer as soon as you can. If you see brown or black fluid under your car, then it may also be transmission fluid. Transmission fluid darkens as it gets older. 6. Burning Smell It's possible for your transmission to overheat. Old transmission fluid can burn up, too. Both of these problems can create a very noticeable burning odor. If it smells like something is burning while you're driving or even around your car while it's parked, then get the vehicle to the dealer for a checkup.
