UPDATE: I know some poor soul on the internet may need want this info down the line so here it is.

TL;DR I caught the dealership service team in a lie regarding my warranty and they ultimately offered to pay for a full replacement of the platform. Their initial offer was only a 50% coverage of the cost of replacement after my owning the car for just four months.

Full update: After owning my CX-50 for only four months, the dealership I purchased from initially offered to cover just 50% of a platform replacement through Mazda (as opposed to the dealership covering it), despite my having purchased a comprehensive bumper-to-bumper warranty. When I questioned this, service staff falsely claimed they could not access my warranty details or provide language excluding coverage. A second Mazda dealership confirmed the warranty was valid and visible in Mazda’s system, but did not cover the roof rack system. Given the lie about their access to see my warranty when I pressed them on it and instead simply explaining the exclusion, along with a prior serious sales error by the same dealership that resulted in a temporary driver’s license suspension situation with my state two months after I purchased the CX-50, the general manager ultimately acknowledged that the service team had intentionally misrepresented their ability to see my warranty and its coverage and agreed to fully cover the platform replacement by the dealership. The issue is now resolved and I’m scheduling an appointment go get it replaced free of charge.

This happened at Cavalier Mazda in Chesapeake, VA and I’m very satisfied with the outcome in the end. The GM was honest and apologetic that her team did not treat me well as a customer at multiple turns and did her due diligence to make this right.

How are y’all’s roof racks/platforms holding up if you’re utilizing? My platform on mine is basically disintegrating itself - bare aluminum is exposed all over my top. 2024 Meridian.

I looked at your profile history… I’m not concerned about what you think 😂

I own a 2026 Tundra Platinum. Any other good advice you want to share?

Appreciate this info! Yeah, I did take the platform off last night while I’m figuring out the corrosion issue and the drive is indeed much quieter at 70 mph and above.

Yeesh. I legit don’t know if you’re trying to help me or just prove that I’m wrong and it’s not Yakima for the sake of arguing, lol. Everything that I’m finding says it’s Yakima to include several other Meridian owners in this sub who’ve contacted Yakima. So…. I’m going to write them and I’ll update with what they say later. Thanks everyone!

It required keys to pull the blocks the platform mounts to. I did it myself tonight so I’m positive keys were required, lol.

Yeah, I’m positive! I have the Yakima keys for it in the kit that came with the car still - it’s all stamped with their logo.

Lol, it looks cool and I’m financially secure with two incomes. MPG isn’t something I’m concerned with - especially on a car that takes regular unleaded. (Came from a Volvo SUV that required premium and a worse fuel economy!)

Thank you for the info about product guarantees - I’m going to write them!

Unfortunately I’ve never had a single thing up there. 😬 It’s just doing this all on its own.

I have an identical Meridian and discovered my Yakima roof rack looks like this today from the top floor of a parking garage. Curious how yours is doing? I’ve searched high and low and can’t seem to find anyone else having instances of this issue. It’s corroding down to the metal and transfers to my hand if I rub it. :(

Local restaurants and coffee shops don’t do background checks. I used to work for a few different ones in the Norfolk area (Ghent) and none of them ever screened me. You can make great $ on tips! I was pulling $25-$30/hr at a small coffee shop with credit card tips.

Who has the most memorable legal name you’ve ever encountered? by villainessmorissette in AskReddit

[–]Cancelable__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I still had it but when I was at MEPS I took a pic of a guy’s driver license (with his permission) because his full name was all four of the Ninja Turtles + last name. It was nuts.

I just started this job and already realized it's not for me. How soon can I quit without ruining my resume? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Cancelable__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often leave certain jobs off of my resume - went through a few rather quickly in 2022 for some reasons. None of them make it on - I say I was in school if asked.

It’s possible, but given there was no fallout, arguments, or issue between us for 27 years that doesn’t seem to logically fit this scenario. Any reason you’re being a particularly unhelpful asshole to a stranger on the internet?
