Air conditioning has been getting less and less cool. Took vehicle to dealer and they indicated the evaporator was leaking and part would cost $561.12 out of warranty. 2 months prior the condenser went out and replaced under warranty.

Consumer states that he was wondering why he was getting such poor gas mileage. He then took his vehicle to his private mechanic since he lives about 65-70 from the nearest Mazda dealer. He thinks that this is a defect, because he also thinks that it is because of some mis-wiring. Air compressor runs when it is not turned on. Overdrive button is inopperable.
