Pretty much the title. I really would like a Mazda 3 & there’s one available near me (2021 model), but I’m wondering if it’s worth going through the trouble at all if I might have the battery die on me every few days or months. Has anyone found a fix to this issue? Are Gen 4s the only ones that have this issue? There’s a 2017 available near me as well, would that be the better option?
So here’s the thing, mine is a 2021 Mazda 3 Premium Hatch - in the first year and a half, when I would open the trunk or doors for certain period of time ( lets say up to 2min max IF that ) , the dashboard used to flash a warning something to the effect of “start the car to prevent further battery drainage” and the sound would be audible. I never really mentioned it when I took it in for maintenance because it wasn’t that much of an issue and normally starting the car and shutting it off removed the warning. But eventually i believe it happened while the car was being serviced and hasn’t happened since and i never really asked what they did to fix it
