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 yes, the solution is getting a high quality battery. However I do wish Mazda had some sort of tech that could give an indication of a failing/failed battery. I think most people get frustrated and even scared because it just looks like the car ‘freaks out’ when the battery starts to go out. If the car could just spit out a simple ‘battery out of spec, please diagnose’ kind of error that would stem a large majority of these complaints.
