I went to Mazda for a new key because the 2022 CX5 fob just crumbled when it slipped out of my butter fingers onto concrete floor and they cost $500 to replace. It does not really function any better than the old fobs.

It now has a LED Headlight malfunction and the dealer is charging $2000 to replace it.

“Recommended service Bulb - Headlight Assembly: REPLACE DRIVER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY The entire casing that includes the bulb and the lens that mounts into the front of the car. $2,004.17”

Has it always cost this much for everyone else? I owned Chevy Silverado’s before and my 2016 Mazda 6 never gave me any issues. Chevrolet gave me bumper to bumper so any issues it gave was just repaired.

I love Mazda but… this is getting ridiculous for simple issues. Can’t imagine what the next minor inconvenience is going to cost me now. I remember mechanics charged less for removing the entire dash to get to the AC compressor.

Genuinely curious about these costs.

    They basically started changing everything to maximize profits. I’m afraid to do things myself, after owning a ford. Replaced one part and something else gave out and it became endless and unlike a mechanic shop it took me forever to get it running and had loss in wages while fixing it. Couldn’t get to work.
