I HAVE A MAZDA MPV 2000, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE ON 2/13/03. I WAS TOLD THAT THE MPV REQUIRED A NEW OXYGEN SENSOR BUT IT WOULD BE 3 TO 4 WEEKS DUE TO A BACK ORDER. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I COULD DRIVE THE CAR AND IT WOULD HARM NOTHING. ON FEB 20TH, I DROVE 3/4 MILE FROM HOME WHEN THE MPV DIED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT ALL ON. THE MPV WAS TOWED TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP, THEY CALLED ME AND SAID THE ENGINE WAS CEASED.*JB

DEFECTIVE PART. EXHAUST MANIFOLD FAILED AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY. DEALER WOULD NOT COVER REPAIR COST DUE TO BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS TYPE OF PART SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED IN THREE YEARS NO MATTER WHAT THE MILAGE IS. IT CAUSED DRIVER (ME) TO BREATH EXHAUST FUMES AND I BECAME LIGHT HEADED AND SICK. WEATHER WAS TOO COLD TO DRIVE WITH WINDOWS OPEN. MANUFACTURER SHOULD COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR.

CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM MAZDA MANUFACTURER. DEALER WON'T HONORING THE RECALL LETTER. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. PH

WHEN EXCELERATING ON THE INITIAL DEPRESSION OF THE PEDAL, CAR WILL NOT EXCELERATE, SEEMS 'STUCK'. FOR THE CAR TO MOVE YOU MUST DEPRESS THE PEDAL FURTHER WHICH RESULTS IN A SUDDEN HIGH SPEED EXCELERATION, IN A JUMPING FASHION. THIS IS TRUE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. WHEN MAZDA DEALER SERVICE REP. WAS CONTACTED SHE SAID THERE HAD BEEN SEVERAL PROBLEMS REPORTED TO THAT DEALERSHIP OF THE SAME NATURE BUT NOT RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN REPORTED.

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN PUTTING ON THE REAR SEAT BELT IT WOULD NOT BE TIGHT ENOUGH FOR IT TO FIT THE CONSUMER PROPERLY. DEALER WILL BE NOTIFIED. TS

CONSUMER STATES A VERY BAD SMELL COMES FROM THE VENT CAUSING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS TO BECOME NAUSEOUS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*JB
