1994 MAZDA NAVAJO Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY VEHICLE STARTED TO ACCELERATE VERY FAST ON ITS OWN. ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED DOWN WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE THE VEHICLE TO STOP. VEHICLE DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES WHEN CONSUMER HAD A CHANCE TO PLACE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHICH EVENTUALLY STOPPED VEHICLE. DEALER HAS ADVISED CONSUMER THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL'S CABLE HAD BINDED AND FREID (WEAR AND TEAR) WHICH CAUSED PROBLEM. *AK

PE00 020; CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 55MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A THUMPING NOISE. SHE PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THAT RIGHT PASSENGER'S TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED FROM RIM. *AK

THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. YOU CAN SLOW THE CAR, BY BRAKING, BY 15-20 MPH AND THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE. THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS TO HIT THE OFF SWITCH ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS COULD LEAD TO UNCONTROLLED SPEED AND POSSIBLE CRASH.

VEHICLE ABS LIGHT STAYED ON AND CAUSED ABS SYSTEM TO DISENGAGE. VEHICLE BEEN IN DEALER SHOP ON TWO OCCASIONS, AND DEALER IS STILL UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

MAZDA DEALER REFUSES TO FINANCIALLY ASSIST WITH NECESSARY REPAIRS. NO SAFE DEFECT LISTED WITHIN SUMMARY. *AK

THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY MY LOCAL MAZDA DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT NO CHARGE TO ME. HOWEVER ,IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER MODEL YEARS (1992 & 1993) BUT NOT MY PARTICULAR YEAR (1994). I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE REPARED ON ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS TYPE OF WELD ON THE HATCH, IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS, IF THE HATCH WAS TO FALL ON SOMEONE.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON , SOMETIME DURING THE NIGHT THE DASH WAS ON FIRE , SUNDAY AFTERNOON WE WENT TO GET IN THE VEHICLE AND THE ENTIRE DASH WAS BURNED, WE CALLED THE FIRE DEPT AND WAS TOLD WE WERE VERY LUCKY THE VEHICLE DID NOT BLOW THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE OFF AND IT APPEARED TO BE ELECTRICAL, WE CALLED OUR INSURANCE AND KOONS OF WESTMINSTER. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HIRED AN INVESTIGATER TO FIND THE CAUSE , HE SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE IN THE TAPE DECK. PRIOR TO THIS I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE VIHICLE. I FEEL THIS WAS A MAZDA PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE MY VEHICLE (SAME TYPE AND SAME MILEAGE) BUT THEY WANT MY INSURANCE TO PAY FOR THIS, I WILL GET BOOK VALUE AND THIS WILL NOT REPLACE MY VEHICLE . I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING FREE , I JUST WANT BACK WHAT I HAD. I ALSO WANT THIS RECORDED BECAUSE HAD THE WINDOWS IN MY VEHICLE NOT BEEN UP AT THE TIME , IT WOULD HAVE EXPLODED AND COULD HAVE KILLED MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF. PLEASE HELP!

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND WOULD POP OUT. IN ADDITION, VEHICLE BOUNCES OR DRIFTS TO THE RIGHT AND EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY/MAKES A POPPING NOISE WHEN PUSHED IN, AND THERMOSTAT OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING.
