Hi John. You need to contact your Mazda dealer. It is a known fault in the condenser of the A/C. It is only in some models of the CX3. They will fix the issue free of charge, even if the car is no longer under warranty.
I had mine done a couple of months ago. My car was out of warranty. Did not cost me a cent.

Hi MaryFrancis, Thank you for this. The car is actually my daughter's and I have passed on your advice which she will use as soon as the Mazda dealer is back
Kind Regards

Hi maryfrancis3, Appears to be the same problem with my 2016 CX3. I had end of warranty check done in late Sept this year, warranty expired late Nov, and now I have no A/C as of last week.

As my car is now out of warranty there could be an issue getting this known problem fixed at no cost. Would you be able to provide any more details that might help with getting Mazda to fix this issue under warranty, e.g. which dealer, how long out of warranty was your car etc. Can perhaps use your experience as a precedent.

CX-3 DK Maxx AWD, 2.0L Petrol, Automatic (2015-2018)

Hi
When I drive up the hill, my cx3 don't have enough power to go up, I have to step on the accelerator down to the floor. The front left shock absorbers makes noise when I turn the steering wheel. When I start the engine, it doesn't start straight away. It starts within 4 second. I have an accident last month and I didnt see the car infront all of a sudden stoped because it was raining, I hit the breaks too late and bang the back of the other car. My auto breaks didn't apply. Why?
Normally it will apply when it rains and I break too late.
Does my cx3 have a defect auto breaking system?

I also have the noise from the front of my car when I turn the steering wheel. Not happy with this car. Also, the aircon stopped working. It turns out that the some models of our car, there is A KNOWN ISSUE and Mazda fixed my car under warranty, even though it has run out. Good luck sorting your issues :)

My istop is intermittently working, it flashes orange with warning sign. At the same time my aircon seems to be making a different sound and the flow is not as strong as it is normally. Sometimes if you turn the aircon off the istop works. Can you enlighten me as to what you think the issue is and is it an expensive fix.

istop problem is the battery failing... aircon could be condenser, compressor or pressure valves....all which we have had fail! $$$$$

Should Mazda be responsible for a manufacturing fault? Headlights full of condensation. From the first year we bought CX3. 2016.
It's coming to the end of warranty and been reported 3 times now.
Also aircon is currently being repaired with new parts, and the boot is also being repaired as it leaks water.
Not happy with this vehicle and ready to get rid.

It turns out that there is a known issue with the aircon losing gas. Mazda have fixed my aircon under warranty, even though my warranty has expired.

CX-3 DK (2015-2020)

Mazda CX3 2015 owner please reply. I have bought brand new Cx3 in 2015. When going up hill especially between 60-80km it revs so noisily like it’s struggling to change from gears. Mazda checked it out and said “it’s designed to be like that and make that noise “ yet the other newer CX3 don’t make that noise because they’ve been improved. They don’t have another 2015 CX3 model for me to drive and compare so I’m just supposed to take their word for it and be happy with it but I’m miserable and hate it..and I spent $32000 onn this car with updates

Engine light keeps on lighting up and engine shudders while driving. Also making loud electrical clicking sound from radiator area- Rockingham mazda don't seem to know or care about problem. Why is warning light on and car shuddering?

I too have a problem with an engine shudder that comes and goes intermittently - seems to be when on a slight uphill incline. Have reported it twice to the dealer and they are unable to replicate (or fix) the problem.
My theory is dirty fuel - the car is an ex demo diesel - maybe someone put unleaded in it before I got it?
Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

I too am having a similar problem and was told by Wanneroo Mazda I could go and start any of the new Mazda’s in the yard and they would start the same !! I didn’t really believe him especially as I took a Mazda 2 for a curtosey car that was skyactive as well it started like a dream !!
Has anyone else been told that Western Australian customers don’t have access to the live traffic update and weather on arrival because of the “government “ I really don’t understand that !!

What a joke they are! they replaced engine but not ecu or any other electrics- problem started again a week later- they took the car back for 3days and couldn't fix it - wanted it back again after the weekend... I traded it for an Audi TT quatro and am very happy now.
don't by a CX-3! its a waste of friggin time and money (WAFTAM)

Anyone having a problem with their CX3's AC?

Mine just stopped blowing cold air and two visits to the Mazda Centre did not fix the problem.

Quick Google reveals it is a common problem among CX3s overseas.

CX-3 DK (2015-2020)

I have bought mazda cx-3 d sport in last nov in 2016. I am satisfied with that but few things that make me annoyed. First of all, often i can't down my car because my car is keyless so i had to push the botton to sit down my car but it didnt work so often. I was in panic and i press the button more than 10times and there is a odd smells from my bonnet. In the end i have to drive my car back anf front few times and then i could turn the power off and second the thermometer in the car is sometimes not working. The temperature is 40 outside but my car says it's only 19degree for a long time. Can you please tell me what should i do for my car?

Hi Wonder Girl

I've haven't experienced any of these problems.

The only thing that you can do is to talk to your Mazda dealer and I'm sure they will be able to assist.

My CX-3 has a lose fitting antenna...I'm told by Mazda sales that this is normal ? Can other owners confirm this ?

You're Talking about the antenna finn? I checked mine and to my surprise there is a small amount of movement.

Garry L

Yes I did check it and its not exactly the tightest mount, had some small movement but their are no signs of water leakage so it must be ok.
But then it could be a future problem like with the Mazda 3 and bad paint work around the hatch and boot which caused rust but not detected for 4 years and a major recall.
