HI there,

The warranty claim on the engine is out of the hands of the dealer and is decided by Mazda warranty they will look into the issue and make a determination, as for the A/C issue, this should of been picked up at the pre delivery when the dealer got the car in stock, often the pre delivery is pushed through as not that important.

Hi there,

If that is the case, you should have nothing to worry about, this is just a batter of Mazda doing the paper work, if the car was serviced and maintained as per warranty requirements there should not be an issue.
