"At approximately 1000 miles on the odometer, the rear differential made rapid clicking sounds at low speeds coming to a stop. Mazda service department had this vehicle for 3 1/2 weeks to replace the rear differential and differential clutch pack. A few weeks after that, the vehicles are returned to the service departments for vibrating noise it produced at highway speeds. They had it for an additional four weeks to replace the driveshaft back to the rear differential. Two days later, after receiving the vehicle back, it was returned for the third time for the exact same vibrating sound. It has been in the shop cents the time of this writing. Since I purchased this vehicle, it has been in the shop longer than Ive had it at home in my driveway."
