Asked by Roland
I BOUGHT a new Mazda6 wagon in 2002. A whining or slight knocking noise comes from the rear and usually occurs about 60-70km/h. It has been there since I bought it. It sounds like the bearings. I have asked my dealer to check this each service, but I was first told they could not hear it, then that it was tyre noise from slight wear in the inner of the rear tyres. I have owned about eight cars and never heard a noise like it, especially from a new car. The warranty runs out in September and, if the problem persists, it may be expensive to correct.

7 Jul 2005IT'S POSSIBLE you are simply hearing road and tyre noise through the rear, which is quite common on wagons. But noises are impossible to trace without driving the car. We asked Mazda for help and its mechanics are happy to check your car if you contact them direct.
