Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2003 MAZDA6 ON 4/18/2003, AT OF TODAY IT HAS 3,800 MILES.AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10 MILES I STOPPED TO ORDER FOOD FROM A DRIVE THRU WINDOW. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE 10 MINS FOR MY ORDER TO BE READY, SO I PULLED OVER TO A STALL AND WAITED FOR 15 MINS, WITH THE CAR STILL ON(NO AC WINDOWS DOWN). WHILE PLACING MY ORDER I HEARD THE FAN TURN ON I KNEW IT WAS ON BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE (NOT LIKE NORMAL). IT STAY ON WHILE I WAS PARKED WAITING FOR MY ORDER AND ON THE DRIVE HOME 10 MIN. IT CONTINUED TO STAY ON 90 SEC AFTER CAR WAS TURNED OFF. I WENT TO CHECK ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH ANYONE ELSE AND FROM CA TO FA AND EVEN IN CAN MAZDA6 OWNERS HAVE HAD TO REPLACE RELAY CONTROL MODULE. I CALLED DEALER THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NORMAL, BUT I COULD BRING IT IN TO CHECK. AFTER CAR WAS INSPECTED I WAS TOLD THAT THE RELAY CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *LA
