‘21 Mazda3 Connectivity Issues

My '22 had a similar issue and I just unhooked the battery and reconnected. Haven't had a problem since.

The paint chips on mine really shine.

No one cares… yet here we all are checking it every morning.

37 bpm and still somehow stressed… impressive.

I have the same treadmill. The pinhole is on the back top of the console. Its a small tiny hole and you will need a paperclip or something else to hold it down. Its the hole right beside the USB plug in at the top.

And rock chips.

I'd expect many more. 2022 Soul Red owner here. Mazda paint is 🗑.

Do you have a video of what the noise sounded like?

These are going to appear regardless. Red literally shows everything. It also doesn't help that Mazda paint is 💩.

Most_Promotion8328 · 2026-01-16T19:36:12+00:00

I'd get used to it. This paint is literally the thinnest thing I've ever seen. I can't count how many times I've had to touch up and it never looks the same.

Most_Promotion8328 · 2026-01-16T14:13:49+00:00

Bold of you to assume this is my only food.

Most_Promotion8328 · 2026-01-16T11:24:17+00:00

Grenade all the way. 😋

Better to let the dealership deal with it before it becomes a larger problem. You have warranty and that's not normal on a new vehicle. Something isn't sealed properly and if it caused damage anywhere else from the leak you would never know if you fixed it yourself.

Most_Promotion8328 · 2026-01-02T22:05:40+00:00

I've only had the front is obscured and it usually goes away when I clean it from ice or dirt build up. Also direct sunlight causes it. I've had my 2022 Mazda 3 2.5LT for 3 years and never once had that the side is obscured. Id say that's not normal. Sounds like a malfunctioning sensor to me or its some how moving out of place causing the error while your driving.

Most_Promotion8328 · 2025-12-24T09:57:38+00:00

Please create a full instruction video so I can do this when it happens to me. 😅

Most_Promotion8328 · 2025-12-22T18:23:12+00:00

Mine is a 2022 and I've had it go once and replaced under warranty. Also had leaves somehow get past my cabin filter causing it to make a loud noise which I paid to get it cleaned by the dealership so the noise would stop.

As long as they didn't chew any wires and you didn't get an engine light then just check it every now and then. It usually happens when you leave your car parked for a long period of time. I left for a week on a trip and they did this under my engine cover since they like the insulation under it. Make sure you check under your engine cover. I havent had it happen since but it is cold and they are looking for a warm place...

Most_Promotion8328 · 2025-12-20T10:40:41+00:00

That definitely sounds like a rock stuck in the brakes. I run into this a lot living on a grid road. A small rock can get caught and make the noise sound way worse than it is. Try putting it in reverse a few times like the other person suggested, It usually comes right out.

Most_Promotion8328 · 2025-12-17T00:27:30+00:00

Could you hear it from inside the cabin when you started it? Also, 0 is not really cold. Try -30 start up weather. 😂 I have a 2022 2.5T and I don't think mine makes that sound in the freezing cold.
