| Before our factory warranty was up the dealership fixed our catalytic converter 3 times. after our extended warranty was up we in the last 6 months had to fix both upper camber arms, driver side axel, tire rod ends on both sides, driver side wheel bearings, and now just yesterday we broke down. the belt pulley tensioner went. the mazda parts co. had told me that they had this part in stock about 10 minutes ago but sold it. this is a $300.00 part and the maintnence is about $500.00 to have them fix it. i don't understand why there hasn't been any recalls on this vehicle. the trade in value isn't even what we owe on the car. we still have 2 1/2 years of payments. the car was burning something but there was no fire. it was the belt falling off while i was driving. *nm | |||

| I purchased a 2000 millenia millenia model that only has 39,000 miles on it. in october, 2003 my car mis-fired and the check engine light came on. the diagnosis was that the ignition coil for cylinder #2 was bad and needed replacing. at that time, mazda customer service paid for the part and i paid for the labor. a few days ago (six months later), an identical situation occurred and the diagnosis was that the ignition coil for cylinder # 6 was bad and needed replacing. the dealership called mazda inquiring about restitution, but this time, the company paid for nothing. i am very concerned about two things. first, what is the defect in my vehicle to precipitate the failure of two ignition coils in close succession? is this an engineering defect? further, am i going to have to go through this process for all 6 cylinders of my car engine? right now, i feel that i cannot trust my car for fear of a repeat occurrence with one or more of the other cylinders. second, if i have to replace all the coils, i figure that the investment will be between $1500 and $2000 to fully fix the car. this is an extraordinary expense to fix what i consider an engineering problem! is there a product recall or special service program to assist with paying for fixing this problem? ideally, i should have all of my ignition coils replaced in order to have a trustworthy car again. in summary, i believe that this is an unsafe situation and wanted to report it to you. thank you. | |||

| Keys got jammed in ignition, took to dealer where car was purchased new,service claimed that tab on shifter lever lock is broken. possible sugar concentrate found on shifter assembly caused problem, car can shift out of park without stepping on brake.(vechile is unsafe to drive). asked to shown the sugar , service claimed car is put back together. never had any major spill in front of car.asked to contact mazda for warrantyproblem #804889 never called back. took dealead to court after consulting with few local repair shops stated its impossible for metal to break from sugar, which judge agree with but dealed stated warranty is mazda responsibilty , judg ask service manager to contact mazda to get them to honer warranty and fix car, cost is $700.00 also if manufacture realize that the lever break from any expected spill they should seal it or cover it . mazda still refuses to comply with judge s recomandation and have to take them back to court. i need an expert opinion on the matter and dealer should be liable to fix defects since it resulted of the unsafe driving conditions that i have experiancing for the last two month. *ak | |||
