Good afternoon,

I recently noticed that my car lights dim when my car is on reverse. Specifically when I'm turning it. It isn't significant, however, it's significant enough to notice. Is this something I should be worried about? My warranty is soon to expire and thinking of purchasing an extended warranty (I haven't researched which package, if any, yet). I drive a 2011 Mazda3 S Sport manual.

I appreciate your help.

 

Sounds like weak alternator. Since your engine rpms low are at both those posted with them dim. Have it checked. Is this the original battery also? Hve the alternator checked. Probably the battery is not holding complete charge.

 

Yes, it's the original battery. I'll call the dealership. Thanks Kevin!
