The article mentions that the 3 have had engine failure due to after market oil filters that are not compatible with the engine. I think it is a load of BS, Mazdas way of saying you didn't use our filter so you voided your warranty.
Just like they said about the Mazda 5 catching fire because they had 3 incidences of drivers driving in second gear, (automatic) at highway speed, do it to your car and let us know how it drives, any bells going off.
Give me a break another load of BS. Mazda admits to nothing that if anything goes wrong is not their fault, always looking for a way out. I guess they are no different than any other manufacturer, they are all the same.

I'm not too familiar with APA but isn't this an independent review?

I thought some members here has had engines replaced under warranty?
