2001 MAZDA B-SERIES TRUCK Complaints

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE CLUTCH CATCHES TOO QUICKLY WHEN GEARS ARE SHIFTED AND THERE IS A LOUD CLUNK THAT CAN BE FELT AND HEARD THROUGHOUT THE TRUCK, CONSUMER STATES IT IS METAL HITTING METAL. VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. MOTOR IS MISSING AND HAS NO POWER. DRIVERS DOOR FLIES OPEN AFTER GOING OVER BUMPS. DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF THE PROBLEMS AND IS STATING THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. *SLC A SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE CLUTCH WAS NOT CATCHING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE, THE JARRING WAS THE TRANSMISSION AFTER SHIFTING AND DECELERATING OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. *SLC

IT HAS CUT OUT ON FOUR OCCASIONS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN NEUTRAL. THREE TIMES SITTING IN TRAFFIC WHERE THE DRIVER WAS UNAWARE UNTIL PUTTING VEHICLE IN GEAR TO TAKE OFF. THE OTHER OCCASION WAS WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN WITH THE CLUTCH IN AND SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING. MAZDA HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT PROBLEM IS AND EXPECTS OWNER TO CONTINUE DRIVING UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. HAS BEEN TO DEALER THREE TIMES FOR CONDITION AND EXAMINED BY FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING 40 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT GEARS (UP AND DOWN VIOLENTLY) LURCHING AND BUCKING. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE OVERDRIVE OFF-LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I PUSHED THE OVERDRIVE SWITCH REPEATEDLY WITHOUT RESULTS. I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND SHUT IT OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT, AND THEN THE VEHICLE RESET. ERROR CODE P0741 BUT NO PROBLEM FOUND OR FIXED. DEALERS SERVICE INVOICE # MACS94327. TOLD, IF PROBLEM PERSIST WILL AT THAT TIME POSSIBLY NEED TCC SOLENOID.

A LARGE PORTION OF THE TIRE CAME OFF THE CENTER OF THE TIRE (FIRESTONE WILDERNESS HT P225-70R15). NLM ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT DRIVER FRONT

BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, NOTICED BRAKE FLUID ON GROUND. BRAKE LINE COUPLER NOT CRIMPED TIGHT ENOUGH. VEHICLE NOT TAKEN TO DEALER. *AK
