The dealer said that the TCM (traction control module)and the PCM (power control module)needed to be updated.  And being the car was out of warranty that I was going to be responsible for paying $330.  I would think that if a manufacturer decided to make new updates to help with safety and performance that it shouldn\u2019t fall on the consumer as we bought the car thinking they had this stuff already figured out.  Like our smart phones when there updates we the consumer don\u2019t pay for the updates to help protect our phones from security issues and other things\u2026. So why is it acceptable for consumers to pay for auto industry\u2019s updates to help with safety.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2012","productMake":"MAZDA","productModel":"MAZDA3","manufacturer":"Mazda Motor Corp."}]}]}
