Example complaints

“My experience has been that when ever it rains (hard with wind) my air filter somehow gets soaked in wet. When I explain this to a mechanic or anyone for that matter, the first question they ask me is whether I drove on puddle of water on the road. The answer is no! When it is raining that hard I don't go anywhere and therefore the car is just parked on the parking lot. I've taken to Mazda one and the ran a test and found nothing. Meanwhile my engine light stays on. I have a spare air filter that I use. In the meantime what can I do? .”
