Some Mazda 3 owners report experiencing issues with leaking motor mounts, particularly on the passenger side, which are known to fail and leak hydraulic fluid, especially in models with a 2.3L engine. Symptoms of this problem include increased vibrations in the cabin and a tilting or sagging engine, which can disrupt the operation of various engine components. Owners are advised to address any fluid leaks from the motor mount promptly to prevent further damage and ensure proper engine alignment. Additionally, some Mazda 3 owners report difficulties with the passenger side door window switch, including the inability to control the window from that side and potential electrical issues, necessitating the replacement of the faulty switch to restore functionality.
