| During a short drive on a 2 lane road, in the evening, during a snowstorm, the aforementioned vehicle, had a complete engine failure, without any warning or impending indication. there was total & sudden loss of engine power. the vehicle would not (ever) restart & needed to be towed away. the mechanic replaced the entire distributor assy. & saying it is a 'common failure' with this series of mazda vehicles. this is a very similiar product as the ford probe, which also was recalled for ignition problems. should the domestic made mazda's have been included in the ford recall? in urban driving situations & under nighttime conditions, this type of failure could be very dangerous.*ak | |||
