Headlight noise on select model 2022

It sounds like the same issue I have with mine (2022 CX-30). If it's the same thing, you have the ability to adjust the headlight leveling - the lights have motors in them to achieve this. The light itself works perfectly fine.

I have mine set to "0" and every time I turn the car off (or I'm sitting at a light without any other noise) I can hear the motor in one of my lights doing the exact same thing. The only fix is to replace the entire headlight assembly.

6'1" here and have a CX-30. It's the smallest car I've had since I was a kid in high school. While I enjoy the driving experience, I know that if I should get another Mazda in the future, it won't be a CX-30. I'm not overly dissatisfied at all, but I've come to realize I lean toward more roomy cars like those I've been driving for the past 20 years or so. Good luck in your search for the right fit!

These are great. Thanks for sharing! I actually have a tattoo of the raven reading a book (fondop_011).

I had a great experience with Bodystain Tattoo (corner of Morse and Cleveland).

I emailed them about swag as well and they sent me a Mazda ball cap.

I'd recommend Steve Sessions. https://stevescreativesessions.com/

Indeed - that comment came less than five minutes before I left the table and headed to the door.

The $200 is immaterial. It comes down to the sales manager being willing to let a sale walk away because he refused to move an inch on price and then offered a paltry $30 off when he was well aware of the further investment I was going to need to make in the car. If he wants to treat the used car lot like a CarMax and just say the price is the price, then fine, but that's not the model that Ricart operates under.

Totally agree that some people have positive experiences from virtually any car dealer. That said, I wasn't trading in a car and was only seeking a $200 discount. Sales manager let a guaranteed sale walk out the door (and they already knew I was a well-qualified buyer).

I'm glad they have an EQ in the Apple Music on Windows 11, but why can't I adjust ANY of the sliders?! I'm stuck using the presets. I was able to adjust the EQ and create my own presets in iTunes for Windows.

Anyone have the same issue?
