Purchased 4 tires 12/17/98 @129,217miles. Tires were 50,000 mile warranty. Had tires rotated and balanced seven(7) times between purchase date and failur date of 8/21/00 tires still had 6-7/32 of rubber on tread when 3 out of 4 tires had the tread seperate from the casing. Tires completely failed with plenty of rubber still left. I drive 35,000-40,000 miles a year all road milage. On every previous set of tires I have gotten 10,000-15,000 additional miles, even though they were rated at 50,000. I do not feel the tires shoud have a complete failure with this much tread left on them. Had I not taken car in for normal rotation and balance, and the dealer pointed out the tread seperation instead of on interstate 4 the out come may have been very different. 3 out of the tires could have come apart at 70 miles per hour, and quite frankly could have had a terrible accident.( dot number: tire size: 20565sr15 )

- 10153339In accordance with Federal regulations, follow the procedure listed below when replacing a speedometer. NOTE: Tampering with a motor vehicle odometer is strictly prohibited by Federal, and State laws. It is the dealer's responsibility to comply with Federal, State, and local laws concerning odometer and related documentation requirements when providing a repair or replacement. Mazda vehicles are manufactured with tamper-proof speedometers. When a speedometer is replaced, the new speedometer will read zero (0) miles. This procedure is extremely important to accurately represent actual vehicle mileage. Prior to speedometer removal, complete the information required on the "Speedometer Replacement Label". Labels can only be ordered through Mazda eStore. In an effort to achieve a higher level of Customer Experience and retain the value of Mazda's vehicles, MNAO Warranty Operations is allowing all Mazda dealers to utilize a third party, SPECMO Enterprises, Inc., for Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) odometer setting service. With the use of SPECMO's services, it is possible that the odometer will be set between 10 to 31 miles over the odometer mileage at the time of replacement for both warranty and customer pay repairs. Please make sure that the customer is aware that there may be a slight variance to the odometer, in which case the customer may have to accept the slightly higher mileage. Since odometer setting service is not part of the warranty repair, it is not warrantable nor required, but optional. However, Mazda Warranty policy provides after-warranty assistance (AWA) or DSA that can be utilized to cover this service expense.
