u/wandering_wisely

I must get to the bottom of this for reasons of my friend is his doppelgänger.

We have a PHEV ‘24 which has mostly been functional for us besides a handful of issues that are usually only 2-3 days in the shop. Given the fact that it has had various issues already and what I have been seeing on the forums about ‘24 issues, I’d like to extend my warranty (I like the car enough to keep it). The reach is - I’d like them to cover it since it seems like this model/year has been plagued.

However, our service record is across 4 Mazda dealerships and we no longer live near where we bought it, so we don’t have a relationship with one shop/dealer.

So questions are -

1. Has anyone had luck getting the extension covered by a dealer or Mazda?
2. Who do we talk to about this? (Our two local dealers aren’t great)
3. If 3rd party extended warranty is the better choice, who do you recommend?

My child (nearly 3) loves listening to kids podcasts in the car and audio-book style stories at home while playing (via yoto or toniebox). We understand the discourse around screen time and have made an informed decision around the limits we’ve set there, but I have yet to see or hear much about how we should approach listening time. Especially with baby number two on the way, I’m wondering if anyone is aware of research or guidelines around the usage of these audio tools for young children? Thank you!
