Mazda CX-5: Problem with my engine

I purchased a brand new Mazda CX5 in December. It ended up on a tow truck on Xmas day and went to my dealer. I have just had a phone call from Mazda Australia to tell me that they could not find what the problem was with the engine, and will give me a new car. My worry is that it might raise its ugly head again on the new car. I was also told that it could take up to four months for the new car to arrive, which I thought was a bit too long, but what else can I do.

I’m surprised that they couldn’t find the cause of the problem, but impressed that they are prepared to replace the car. I wouldn’t be too concerned about the problem happening again, but I would be upset that it will take four months for them to find you a replacement car. That’s unacceptable. I would expect them to move heaven and earth to get you a new car, after all they’ve got your money and now they’ve left you without a car. I hope that they have at least given you a courtesy car for the time you have to wait.
