I am driving Mazda 3 2008 with 115K mileage, now I am facing with weird issues while driving my car, every time I reached gear 4 with 80kph to 100kph speed it shifts automatically to gear 3 or gear 2, or even I'm on 60kph speed on gear 3 it change to gear 2 and I feel like the it consumes more petrol than usual driving.

I didn't experience this issue before, can anyone advice me on how and where to fix this issue? I'm planning to bring my car to Mazda Service Center but I'm also thinking of different service center coz Mazda might rip me off with the charges.

Your advice would be much appreciated.

Mazda Galadari will really rip you off, there parts and labor charges are too high, more than double from outside's price.

I'm using ACDelco, I'm using it for 2.5 years now and still kicking with no issues so far....

Ahh ok then, thought it would be serious if ignored, also consulted with Mazda and Dynatrade and they both commented that it is normal and nothing to worry... thanks sunder...

Been to Dynatrade Nad Al Hamar, yesterday for service maintenance, also refer them the noise over turnings, they said the noise is normal and find, mind is not that obvious only I hear it if I park and turn the steering wheel sideways, kind of friction noise, is that the same with your previous problem?

Been to Dynatrade Nad Al Hamar branch yesterday, so far I am satisfied, I paid AED360 for B-Type equivalent from Mazda Service Center which is AED440, including Wheel Balancing.

Had major service from them before when I reached 100K, paid AED990 + that engine flush so I summed up with AED1,100+ forgot the actual amount, and when finished I ask them about the front sound when turning the steering wheel and they said its normal.... Not that satisfied though so I'm looking for the next option on my next service.

How much does it cost you for all, and where?

nothing compare to new ofcourse, but budget wise pre-owned will do but have it check with professionals before buying.

Had my Mazda 3 service in Galadari Sharjah everything is fine with me except for the noise turns i consulted to the service advisor which he answered its normal, how the hell is that? im kinda disappointed and no plan to visit them again on my next service.

Hello guys, am new here, driving Mazda 3 2008... hope we can all hook up for some time and discuss about our rides...

Haven't tried Mobil 1 ever since but planning to in the next change oil to see the difference, how much would it cost me for the synthetic?

Does Dynatrade has a branch shop somewhere in Deira? plan to service my Mazda 3 very soon.

Got the same issue, noise when I slow turn left and right, I had it checked from Galadari Sharjah and they said it's normal which of course not...

@Sunder - have you already fixing yours, is it genuine parts they replaced, any review about it?
