WHILE DRIVING A FIRE STARTED WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BEHIND THE BATTERY, CAUSE UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHEN DRIVING CONSUMER NOTICED TRANSMISSION LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, THERE WAS LOSS OF ACCELERATION. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER, DEALER LINKED THE PROBLEM TO TRANSMISSION. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

TEMPERATURE WAS VERY HOT ON THE CAR AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE. NO FLUID IN RADIATOR. REFILLED ONLY TO REALIZE A SLOW LEAK. TOOK IT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY COULDN'T FIND A LEAK BUT SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, SO IT WAS REPLACED. 2 DAYS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE SAME PROBLEM HAS ARISEN. HAVE CONTACTED THEM AGAIN TO DETERMINE WHAT TO DO. SOMETIMES THE CAR GOES FROM NORMAL READING TO HOT,AND SUDDENLY RETURNS TO NORMAL. I HAVE ADDED APPROX. 1 GALLON OF FLUID EVERY 2 DAYS FOR THE PAST WEEK. WORRIED ABOUT POSSIBLE ENGINE DAMAGE AND STALLING IN TRAFFIC. *AK

WHILE LEAVING WORK VEHICLE WAS HESISTATING AT ACCELERATION, OVERDRIVE OFF LIGHT STARTED BLINKING, AND EVENTUALLY CAR CUT OFF, DEALER SAID TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN NOVEMBER OF 1997 HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN. *AK

I WISH I COULD BACK UP THE TIME AND RETURN THIS CAR TO THE DEALER I'VE PURCHASED IT FROM, THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR SUCKS BIG TIME.AND I WANT MY MONEY OR A FREE REPAIR FROM MAZDA. *AK

MANUFACTURER'S RECALL 99I005000/SPEEDOMETER FAILURE: DEALER NOTIFED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER THAT MANUFACTURER'S RECALL ONLY COVERED 1994 VEHICLES, NOT 1995. REPAIRS WOULD ONLY BE DONE AT CONSUMER'S COST. *AK

DOUBLE PARKED IN THE STREET, THEN ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE, AND IT DIDN'T GO INTO DRIVE. HASN'T CONTACTED DEALER OR MANUFACTURER. *AK

I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT 4 YOKOHAMA TIRES IN 8/98 FROM SEARS/NTB @ MILEAGE OF 106780. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS A TINY CRACK AT OUTER EDGE OF TREAD (MILEAGE APPROX. 141500). SEARS/NTBSTATED THE TIRE COULD NOT BE FIXED AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW YOKOHAMA TIRE (ON 7/19/99 - MILEAGE 141594). AT MILEAGE OF 153128, I WAS ADVISED BY MY MAZDA SERVICE ADVISOR, DURING A MAINTENANCE CHECK THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE SHOWING CORDS. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A WARRENTY OF 60,000 MILES (AND I ALREADY HAD A NEWER TIRE), I WAS ADVISED BY SEARS/NTB TO REPLACE THE REMAINING 3. I PURCHASED THE 3 NEW YOKOHAMA TIRES FROM THEM. THE MILEAGE WAS AT 153284. ON 3/23/00, MY RIGHT REAR TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET. THE TIRE HAD A TINY CRACK ON THE OUTER EDGE OF THE TREAD. AGAIN, I WAS ADVISED BY SEARS/NTB THAT THE TIRE COULD NOT BE FIXED. MILEAGE WAS 162292. IT SEEMS UNUSUAL THAT I HAVE HAD SO PROBLEMS WITH THE YOKOHAMA TIRES. I SUSPECT THAT THERE MAY BE A DEFECT, WHICH IS WHY I AM FILING MY COMPLAINT. I ALSO HAVE ALL MY DOCUMENTATION IF YOU NEED IT. *AK( DOT NUMBER: 5229 TIRE SIZE: P19565H14 )
