| I currently own a 1999 madza millenia, which i purchased pre-owned, in 2002. i have had nothing but problems and extremely expensive repair bills since that time. the car breaks down/is in need of repair every 3-4 months, and it is always the same major problem with 2-5 new things needing to be repaired as well. my latest repair bill, (2) weeks ago, was to the tune of $1280. 80. the check engine came on in october 2003 and has not went off since that time. i was afraid to drive the car when this occurred, but i was told it was ok to do so when it once again it came on after i took it in for repair to the tune of $898.00. it has blinked a total of (3) times with the latest being on yesterday (the aforementioned $1280.80 repair bill was to correct the blinking problem (2) weeks previous). i have replaced the egr valve and sensor a total of (4) times, due to being told that this is the cause of the check engine light being on-when it began to blink last may of 2005, i was told by the service manager of the local madza dealership 30+ miles away from where i reside, that he had no clue as to what it means when the check engine light blinks. that particular repair bill cost me almost $900. i am so completely frustrated and angry to the point of tears. i have kept up the scheduled maintenance, the best tires, etc. and still problems. i have spent so much money trying to keep this car in good working condition, as well as a safe mode of transportation for my self and my little brother, who has special medical needs that require being seen by medical services providers that are located over 200 miles from where we reside. with it being a pre-owned car, on the advice of others, i purchased an extended warranty a few days after purchasing the car, from the madza dealership for $900, that was completely worthless-the warranty has expired and i am still paying on it. *jb | |||
