What owners wrote
There has not been a failure to date, however, adding my vehicle to the other mazda3's in the data base where the design of the vehicle is creating uneven tire wear. As I have read in no less than 5 blogs, the manufacturer intentionally cambers the rear tires to increase the performance and handling and upon normal rotation of the tires, a "bumping" noise can be heard and felt. The tire manufacturer will do nothing and states is a design issue and mazda states I must deal with the tire manufacturer.
On 4/19/14, I had a broken TPMS sensor which needed to be replaced. This sensor was on the passenger side, front tire. Then again on 6/2/14, I had the same problem on a different tire - the driver side back tire.
