| Check engine light came on the night before. the next morning my wife went to run an errand before going to check the car out at the dealership, but she only got about 13 miles when the engine blew out and started smoking. the vehicle had approx 56k miles and the engine should have been covered under warranty, but the dealership states that it was not covered anymore because we ran the vehicle that morning with the check engine light on. the dealership stated that the engine was completely blown and that it overheated. they state that there was no coolant in it. there was no prior leak in the coolant, and the coolant was checked and refilled only 2 weeks prior. we would have noticed a coolant leak on our driveway. | |||

| We purchased our 2007, mazda 5 new in jan. 2007 from a local dealership. at a little over 9,000 miles the car began to hesitate and we returned to the dealership for the first service to fix the problem. to fast forward, here we are dec. 31st, 2011 and now we are dealing with not only hesitation and stalling, but now the car actually bucks while driving it only adding to the dangers of driving it. this is a well documented problem as we have continued to return it the same dealership each time only to be told it was fixed. this has become a safety concern, and a financial woe. why the lack of concern by mazda and other agencies that know of this problem but have not made mazda admit the problem and recall these cars before someone is killed. not everyone is in the position to just buy another car if they seem to have a lemon. i would really like to know my recourse in all of this....to drive a unsafe car?, to hope i or a family member won't be hurt of killed in it until such time i can trade it in? and then feel guilty that some other person is purchasing my unsafe car? i hope that there is some hope by contacting your agency. if nothing else if you won't help me, maybe i can warn someone else about this car. | |||

| (5/2010) at my local mazda dealer during routine rotation maintenance of my tires i observed unusual ware on the inner areas of the tire tread areas and a grove carved on the inner sides of the tires. the grove was exposing areas of the steel belt of the tires. the first recommendation from mazda was to replace the tires, soon. after speaking with the mazda service rep he informed me that this issue has been known to occur in mazda 3 | |||
