I know there are some with squeaks, rattles, a dead battery or two, and the airbag light thingy discussed on another thread. A lot of that is probably first-year stuff that will be worked out.

I am wondering about the major stuff (not that the airbag thing is not major but that probably will not leave anybody stranded in the middle of nowhere). Has anyone had any major mechanical failures, like something requiring that your 3 be towed to the dealer?

Just curious.

:lol: :lol: No not me (knock on wood) Just the air bag, pulls to the right, and rough idle. Thats about it.

Nope

Nor have I had any major problems.

I did see one MZ3 get towed off the lot, but I would imagine it was a DOA or was getting shipped elsewhere.

:... and rough idle

Perhaps an aftermarket grounding kit will help a bit?

Nope.......just the airbag sensor....that's the only major thing for me.

Mechanical or electrical, none so far (knock knock knock)

Maybe in a year or so the bugs will start coming out?
