1999 MAZDA B-SERIES TRUCK Complaints

IN HOT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, FLORIDA, AFTER MY 1999 MAZDA B3000 HAS SAT IN THE PARKING LOT FORTHE DAY, THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS FAILED TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY, IT IS AS IF WHEN I STEP ON THE CLUTCH THE FLUID BLEEDS BY THE O RINGS AND THE CLUTCH FAILS HALF WAY TO THE FLOOR, THE SAME WITH THE BRAKES, WHEN YOU STEP ON THE BRAKES, THE FLUID IS LEAKING PAST THE O RINGS IN THE MASTER CYLINDER, MAKING A GURGLING/AERATING SOUND. AFTER YOU HAVE DRIVEN A FEW MILES AND AIR FLOW OVER THE AFFECTED COMPONENTS COOLS THE COMPONENTS, THE BRAKE NOISE ALMOST DISAPPEARS, AND THE CLUTCH WILL SOMETIMES COME BACK TO FULL POSITION, MOSTLY THOUGH IT WILL ONLY COME BACK UP TO HALF POSITION. WHEN YOU PARK THE VEHICLE IN THE SHADE OR IN A COOL AREA, OR IN THE WINTER, THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN. MY QUESTION, WAS THERE A DEFECTIVE BATCH OF O RINGS AND IS THERE A RECOURSE FOR MAUFACTURERS INVESTIGATION AND SUBSEQUENT REPAIR. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES YET THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *AK *NLM

1999 MAZDA B400 WAS INVOLVED IN A DIRECT FRONTAL IMPACT, TOTALING THE TRUCK, AND NIETHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED.

MANY TIMES REPORTED AND THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM? WHEN AT A STOP TRUCK WILL IDEL DOWN LOW AND WHEN TO ACCELERATE TRUCK LOSES POWER. NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND AFTER HAVING THAT CHECK THEY SAID I NEED TO HAVE THIS REPLACE (AFTER ONLY HAVING 27,861MILES)AND AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS TO MAZDA DEALER AND MAZDA CORP, THEY NOW FEEL THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIABLE FOR THIS REPAIR AND NOT THEM. EXPLAIN THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT (ABS) AT THIS MILEAGE, AND THE WAY THIS VEHICLE HAS RUN SINCE I HAD PURCHASED IT NEW.I NOW FEEL THAT THIS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY ABS BRAKING SYSTEM AND STILL HAVING TO USE MY VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK AND BACK KNOWING THAT SOON THIS MAY NOT WORK WHEN NEEDED! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW MY WORK ORDERS WITH MAZDA AND RELATED ISSUES WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THEY JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEMS WHEN I MAKE APOINTMENTS TO HAVE THEM FIXED.I FEEL THAT MY COMPLAINT IS WITH SAFETY ISSUES AND WOULD LIKE THEM TO HAVE THIS FIXED.CAN YOU HELP ME IN THIS MATTER? DO NOT KNOW WHO TO CONTACT ANYMORE, AND MAZDA HAD A REP LOOK OVER MY WORK ORDER AND SIAD THAT THEY WILL HAVE DON FROM WHERE I HAD PURCHASED FROM (MAZDAVILLAGE) IN CLEARWATER TO CONTACT ME ABOUT HAVING THIS FIXED. BUT NOTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU, BRUCE M. FERGUSON

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE OR COMING TO A STOP VEHICLE IDLES HIGH,AND WILL NOT COME DOWN. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, CONSUMER FOUND OUT THAT THE FIRST OWNER HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED, TRANSMISSION IS CONTINUING TO MALFUNCTION.

THE DRIVETRAIN OF MY TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE SLACK IN IT. WHEN I SLOW TO A STOP IT "CLUNKS". WHEN I ACCELERATE AWAY FROM A STOP IT "CLUNKS" BACK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I TOOK IT TO DIAMNOD MAZDA AND THEY CHANGED PART OF THE DRIVE SHAFT AND THAT CORRECTED IT FOR A FEW WEEKS BUT IT IS BACK TO DOING IT NOW. I CALLED BACK AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT? I CONTACTED MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT HAVE A FIX. THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO BE TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WOULD GIVE THEM BACK THE TRUCK UNDER THE LEMON LAW SINCE IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT IS NOT RESOLVED BUT THE LAWS IN LOUISIANA ARE NOT IN MY BEST INTEREST.

MY TRUCK HAS STARTED TO SOUND LIKE THE LIFTERS ARE PINGING ON ACCELERATION. *AK

TRUCK VERES SUDDENLY TO THE LEFT AND NEARLY TAKES THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HAND. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION. TRUCK CONTIONUS TO SUFFER THIS VIOLENT JERK OF THE WHEEL FORCES THE TRUCK INTO THE LEFT LANE OF TRAFFIC EACH TIME THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HITS A HARD BUMP IN THE ROAD. I NEVER HEARD FROM THE MANAFACTURE ON THE COMPLIANT I AM LEAD TO BELIEVE THIS TRUCK IS UNSAFE. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WILL BE APPREACIATED THANK YOU.*AK

THE DRIVESHAFT OR CLUTCH UNIT HAS A LOUD POPPING NOISE AS I COME OUT OF REVERSE AND SHIFT INTO 1ST. SOMETIMES IT IS LOUD ENOUGH TO SOUND LIKE A U-JOINT BUT I HAVE CHECKED THEM. MECHANIC AT A DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE DRIVESHFT HAS A SLEEVE ON IT AND THIS IS WHAT I AM HEARING. BUT I AM NOT CONVINCED THIS IS THE PROBLEM. *AK
