Hi owners of mazda 3, I recently noticed a buldge on 3 of my factory toyo tyres. As it all happened at the same time, I suspect that it may be a defect on behalf of mazda and toyo. It is also a major safety concern now for me.

How do I approach Bermaz (Glenmarie) regarding this defect because I think they will try to weasel their way out saying its not under warranty. In my view, this is a defect straight from when I got the car since it all happened at the same time.

My car is delivered Dec 2015 and currently have 18k mileage with no late service intervals.

I'm prepare to escalate the matter to facebook mazda if they give me an unsatisfactory answer but for now I wish some fellow owners can give me some pointers on how to bring up the problem to them so that it is handled properly.

Thanks.

Is this 'Lane Departure Warning' and 'Lane Keeping Assist' really important?  If you don't intend to fall asleep at the wheel why do you need them?

Yup, Mazda 3 GVC GLS sedan.

1. Is there any car within RM 130k has this feature? Hmm.. Let see if someone could name them..
2. He was trying to tell there are drivers out there who dont give a fxxx to all these road signs. Not him la...
3. Radar cruise control, it has been debated a few times before. With relation to the driver's attitude, who likes to zig zag in out suddenly, the radar cruise control might creates more issue rather than assisting. No doubt, if it is available, most of us would appreciate the feature too. Unfortunately.. 

Btw, enjoy your new ride. I have not seen any GVC model around my area yet. 

initially enjoying..
but then just after few days got rattling sound already from dashboard, CKD QC no pass man!

there is no lane keep assist, Mazda marketing and customer service is epic.
they printed on the brochure with lane keep assist, but when I asked in Mazda Malaysia FB, someone from customer service called me and told me after they check with technical team, the car actually comes with lane keep assist.
after few days, another person from sales department called me and said actually the car does not equip with lane keep assist, only lane departure warning.. I was like ... what xxx xxxx...

so conclusion, the car is equip with blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, smart city brake support, lane departure warning and adaptive led headlamp.

no lane keep assist, no traffic sign recognition, no radar cruise control.

Well let's cheer things up a little. M3 GVC HB reporting in!

This is really disappointing.. I thought the SCBS for our GVC model is updated like Australia GVC to be able to operates up to 80km/h but it is AGAIN mistake on the brochure! same case as the lane keep assist!

   

Your experience shows that the GVC model does have SBS. How it works is that it will give you warning to brake if the rate of approach to the car in front is too fast. If you still don't brake it will brake for you to reduce the severity of the collision not to avoid a collision.

SCBS is another system which brakes completely to avoid a collision but it only works up to 30 km/h if I'm not mistaken.

I believe the GVC model comes with Advanced SCBS since myself also experienced the BRAKE warning sign at the speed of 70+km/h.
From what I read in the manual, both Advanced SCBS and SCBS forward working exactly the same.

Find and empty road stretch and a couple big boxes (preferably refrigerator sized). Stack em up and get a buddy to help film.
