And it's likely that they're right. You are jumping to conclusions without first getting the problem diagnosed; all you know is that the car was in for repairs. Is the coolant level checked? Because low coolant is the likely cause of the symptoms you've described. According to the Mk4 Mondeo's cooling system, the absence of heat emanating from the vents is the initial indicator of insufficient coolant.

Hopefully it’s the switch then as you anticipated though a bit strange that hi beam not working?….As Antman suggested, a degree of diagnostics may be necessary...I no longer possess a PC or Forscan, regrettably, so I must depend on local establishments...At least you got it running again & I’m sure all will pan out well…ATVB…..

I appreciate your response.The battery has consistently performed well; I fully charged it on Tuesday nite and drove it yesterday. Upon returning home from work, I will attempt to use the key from the back of the fob to unlock the car, hoping the alarm remains inactive, and then connect the battery to the charger.If it charges, proceed to obtain a diagnostic assessment.

I appreciate your response.I used the key from the rear of the key fob to open the car yesterday (hoping the alarm doesn't go off) and put the battery on charge. The battery has always been good. I fully charged it on Tuesday nite and drove it yesterday. I will try this when I get home from work.Next, if it starts charging, bring it in for a diagnostic 🤷🫎.

Hi there.I just had a light switch malfunction two days ago.The lights would remain on indefinitely.A new one was ordered.I turned off the power.I was still able to drive during the day, even though the car kept flashing its lights every 10 seconds.Overnight, I fully charged the battery.It appears the car has gone into shutdown mode; there is no longer any flashing, and I was unable to test start today before work with either of the electrical fob keys.Immediate assistance required.How can I get into the vehicle? Would the alarm go off if I gain access? Unfortunately, I have to leave for work now, and I am really stuck for what to do.I've placed an order for an additional component.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone. I re-scanned the card utilising the Mazda application and reinserted it while the system was operational. The card was recognised, and navigation is functioning once more.

Greetings everyone. I committed a novice error by agreeing to the Windows "Scan and Fix" prompt. I did not arrange the card's format. I executed the MazdaMapUpdateGlobalAdv.exe and everything proceeded smoothly. However, the vehicle is no longer recognising the SD card following the update. Has anyone resolved this issue? I express my sincere gratitude.

Many thanks. I intend to contact them in December.

Hello everyone, it appears that later this year I will be seeking an extended warranty. Considering I had a warranty repair at the 2-year service, the idea of running uncovered makes me nervous. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you may have. TIA

The battery could still be defective, so you shouldn't rule it out just yet. Before dropping the battery, make sure it's fully charged and conduct a parasitic drain test. The condition or transfer points should also be examined, since e9x can experience corrosion and water intrusion in the battery box.

Is that so? Please remove the steering wheel so that I can inspect it.

Alright, I'm grateful. I'll get to those and get back to you.

Yes, please!

Quite typical, in my opinion. It should have been noted that I attempted to activate the cruise control multiple times while traveling on the highway.

The 2010 Sorento, which was manufactured in June, has a 2.2-liter gasoline-powered engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. However, there seems to be an issue with the cruise control. The dashboard displays an activation light, but the cruise control does not activate. I've heard that this could be related to the speed sensor, but I would greatly appreciate any confirmation before I begin looking for replacement parts.

Indeed, I occupied the EV3 and found the vehicle quite impressive; it features an interior nearly identical to the EV2, albeit somewhat larger in all dimensions. In my opinion, the EV2 is perfectly suited for a retired couple and is comparable in size to the Stonic, being a few centimetres shorter yet slightly wider, with a marginally larger trunk and a more spacious cabin feel.

I have a £16,000 trade-in; go test drive whichever car you desire afterward. It’s a truly appealing vehicle, and I appreciate its contemporary design, which seems to be ahead of its time in my opinion. I will have a home charger installed, which should reduce my fuel expenses by £700.

After three years of ownership, I believe it's time for a transition; I have driven 16,000 miles during this period, and the vehicle has been completely dependable without any issues, thus I consider it an excellent car. However, circumstances evolve, and I have ordered an EV 2, hoping it will match the reliability of my Stonic.

If you are able to remove the wheel, try tapping the drum lightly with a hammer or mallet; this may cause it to release. When they're picking up long-standing cars on Bangers and Cash, they do that. Please inform us of your progress 👍.
