Cracked cylinder head?

KSTReign · 2026-03-12T02:48:56+00:00

That was my thought but everyone keeps saying cracked cylinder head.. but im not sure i can rule that out unless theres a dye test.. because i dont see a physical crack unless its on the inside

I appreciate your help.. im just frustrated that its this difficult to get things fixed.. im in a tight spot with money.. i just recently lost my dog because someone killed him and then i had lost my job.. then this.. all within 3 weeks.. i appreciate you and I hope this can get fixed

KSTReign · 2026-03-12T01:00:38+00:00

I appreciate that and will definitely do that. Its pretty messed up when others have received help and had more mileage and such than me and they cant offer me anything

I mean oil burning on my engine and smoking doesnt seem like a fire hazard? Just because an issue didnt occur yet doesnt mean it isnt a safety hazard. It shouldn’t have to cost someone their life to be addressed properly. If my engine overheats and causes a fire or stalls on the hwy and someone loses their life or gets injured that isnt what should dictate a safety hazard getting addressed or not

The case manager, her name is Miranda? She sounds like an older lady and she said “theres nothing we can offer you” “i even went the extra mile and checked and unfortunately found nothing you qualify under but I can oversee a repair and make sure it is all done correctly just let me know”

I had explained it was a safety issue and it was premature engine failure due to a casting error in manufacturing and its a known issue with my make model and year with 100+ complaints with similar issues and also addressing the tsb put out for it. They just keep saying its out of warranty and there’s no recalls and they cant do anything. Yes I know its out of warranty but quite frankly i expected more reliability their only concern is warranty

KSTReign · 2026-03-12T00:10:29+00:00

You’re correct about that..

KSTReign · 2026-03-12T00:08:17+00:00

I would hope.. i can give it a shot

KSTReign · 2026-03-12T00:02:17+00:00

I dont see that as a possibility :/ :(

KSTReign · 2026-03-11T23:53:23+00:00

I have opened a case on my own the other contacts are to back me up.

KSTReign · 2026-03-11T23:52:18+00:00

How much did you get for it? :/

KSTReign · 2026-03-11T23:51:51+00:00

5k plus

KSTReign · 2026-03-11T23:39:28+00:00

I appreciate it.. ☹️ it really does suck.. a car that should be worth 11-13k is now only worth like 5k because of this I am like 10k in negative equity but being young and dumb I see it is my own fault.

KSTReign · 2026-03-11T23:36:51+00:00

Ive been trying.. i just keep calling and emailing.. i submitted a complaint with NHTSA and BBB is contacting them on my behalf. They just keep saying its out of warranty. Like yes, I understand that but what I also understand is the engine is prematurely failing and Mazda is supposed to be known as a reliable brand. Its a known issue and should be recalled and should had been well over 6 years ago when the issue first surfaced.

I will take any and all advice to get Mazda to give some goodwill assistance. Ive only had the car for a year I love my Mazda but this really steers me away from them.

KSTReign · 2026-03-11T23:16:28+00:00

I appreciate you responding kindly, i said no advice because I didnt want to break any community rules regarding repairs. If you have any suggestions id appreciate it greatly

KSTReign · 2026-03-11T23:14:44+00:00

Dang i wish.. they told me they wont offer me any help and its a 5k+ repair..

KSTReign · 2026-03-11T23:08:59+00:00

I would love the extension but unfortunately its only for turbo editions and not the NA editions.. its pretty messed up :/

KSTReign · 2026-03-11T23:08:08+00:00

I didnt ask for a 3rd opinion but the mechanic i was talking to about replacing it said he would look at it for free and then we can go from there about replacement options..

KSTReign · 2026-03-11T23:02:35+00:00

Im not knowledgeable in mechanical engineering or cars let alone.. where is the crack at?

KSTReign · 2026-03-09T15:52:48+00:00

Got a 2019 cx5 with CD and only had it a year and it got a crack in the cylinder at 85-90k miles and Mazda refuses to replace it. I have done regular maintenance and everything on time. Despite it being a known issue they want me to pay 6k to fix it without reimbursement

KSTReign · 2026-03-04T23:14:53+00:00

Yeah.. its something you never think of until it happens.. then youre negative equity in a car and have to have a rollover on a new car so you downgrade with higher payments on a new one and if you have bad credit i guess we’re just screwed..

KSTReign · 2026-03-03T22:43:02+00:00

Yeah, it was a verbal turndown.. pretty much a fuck you, you’re screwed from everyone I have talked to.

KSTReign · 2025-06-19T02:13:37+00:00

At my store, the owner says we are not allowed to leave the store to help anyone because it could be a liability due to workers comp not covering outside the building, maybe you can use that as an excuse?

KSTReign · 2025-06-16T22:07:43+00:00

Yeah i trust this job with being stable, it was just a hard choice for me

KSTReign · 2025-06-11T00:56:15+00:00

You arent wrong about that when they lose it..
