Hiya everyone, I got my Mazda 3 1.6 hatchback CKD June last year. It is the model before the current facelift. Just done my 10K service. Here is the problem I noticed with my car:

1. Tick tick tick sound heard randomly from the front passenger side especially on bumpy roads and on slow speed (20-60km/h). Complained to SC. They checked but the problem still persists.

2. Minor noise from the driver's door near the door handle area. Gonna ask them to check in the next service.

3. Noise from the back. I checked myself it was because the 3rd brake light cover is not completely clicked-in. It looked like it is secured but it's not. Need to press very hard until the click sound is heard. After this, the noise is gone. Suspect is the tint shop didn't secure it properly.

4. Front absorber/suspension has the nyek nyek sound when going through the bumper. The last SC said the absorber has leakage. It was under warranty and they changed it for me with no charge. But they didn't give me to sign anything after changing it. The nyek nyek sounds are still there. Going to bring it to anoother SC to check again.

5. The gearbox - sometimes in D mode when changing gear 1 to 2 it has this what sounds like a brisk drumming sound. Gonna send in the SC and ask them to check the gearbox.

My questions are:
Has anyone experienced #5 and what are the solutions if you have fixed it.

For #4, do you guys experience the nyek nyek sound from the front absorber/suspension? Or is it normal?
