| We have a 2000 mazda mpv van. my wife said that the engine was making a loud roaring noise. i found a mazda mpv site that indicated as subject-fog horn/moaning noise from engine compartment...which may occur when engine is half-warmed up or in deceleration. site calls for iac valve with a modified part to be repaired. i asked the mazda dealership about a possible recall. they were quick, and i mean quick to say that there are none. i mentioned that there are two other recalls documented on the consumer reports website. one about a possible failing child-lock on the door and another one that could result in a possible fuel leak and subsequent fire. how can mazda be so quick to say that there are no recalls? they did not even ask for my vehicles vin number. believe me, the small cost for mazda to correct this problem will pale in comparison to my child falling out of the vehicle due to failing child locks or to a fire caused by leaking fuel. *jb | |||

| On 3/9/02, left home to head for bank. about 2 minutes/3 streets down, car was smoking and blackish oil was gushing from all around hood area. car broke down and could not re-start.fire/sheriff dept came and car was towed to oak tree mazda where car was serviced on 1/29/02. on 3/11/02 peter potman of oak tree mazda called and told me engine oil was mixed with coolant due to oil pump failure. engine lock is cracked and had to replace with new engine. 10 days later on 3/21/02. peter called and said car was ready to pick-up.they tested everthing and car was wonderful. i pick up car 2:30 pm and headed home and at 4:00 left home to go to bank before pick up daughter from school. within minutes car was smoking again and smell like it was burning. called peter agai and he sent for the tow truck to tow it back to them. next day on 3/22/02, peter told me they could find no new oil leakage. smoking/burning came possibly from residue oil from previous (3/9/02) incident. they'd try to detail clean engine again to make sure no more residue oil is left to burn. n 3/25/02, peter offered to drive my car home (60 miles one way) and back the next morning (120 miles round trip) to make sure. i said ok and on 3./26/02, peter called and said he wasn't comfortable with giving me car back as he could smell burning oil from inside of the car as the he was driving. he'd drive my car home again 3/26/02 evening and would let me know tomorrow (3/27/02). i've communicated with mazda's daren (x1179) several times re my concerns about safety because twice the car began smoking/steaming with no warning lights on whatsoever. nlm | |||

| I purchesed an mazda mpv in 2007 from a chev delership who said it was in good working condition. it was a 2000 model. as soon as winter came the o2 sensor on the rear bank went out. paid $400.00 to the dealership to replace. it lasted only a short time. the dealsrship told me it should last 100.000 miles, so they replaced it and only charged me another $400.00. to date i have had the o2 sensor replaced a total of four times. the last two times it was at a mazda dealership. they also told me it should last 100.000 miles. but every time it get's below 40 deg f, it fails, or at least the warning light comes on. i have spent a total of $1,200.00 in replaceing the sensor. i keep doing it because my wife uses it to drive our granddaughter to dance class and i don't want them to get stranded on the road way. i have allready lost my aunt's daughter to a road side killer and don't want it to happen once more. | |||

| Had a 2000 mazda mpv with 68,000 miles on it. all was well until my check engine light came on. a noise and fuel smell followed soon after. the van was diagnosed at the mazda dealership as having bad or cracked manifolds. i was told that the cost would exceed the value and it would not be worth fixing and to consider trading. the price estimated was over $4000. i honestly think that because this is an environmental issue, we should not be responsible for this manufacturer defect. this car did not even have 100k miles. *tr | |||

| In september 2003, 2000 mazda mpv van (approx 80k miles) would not pass emissions although check engine light was not on. was told the van's obd system could not communicate with state's equipement. was issued waiver. one month later, check engine light came on and o2 sensor was replace per recommendation. four days later, light came back on. since then, light has intermittently gone on and off with noone being able to diagnose the issue. a strong odor has come into the passenger area and the van has run rough. finally, it was diagnosed as having a cracked exhaust manifold. there is no reason a 3 1/2 - 5 year old van should have a cracked manifold. unfortunately, there are thousands of people suffering from the same issue as noted on every mazda message board. the part cannot be purchased aftermarket or even used, because they are all cracked. i have also been told by other garages the welding suggested at the dealer's shop is ineffective and will not solve the leak. the dealer is unwilling to help because the van out of the warranty period. i am wondering how many manifold failures there have to be, which affects our air quality and cannot pass federal emissions, before there is a recall issued for an obviously defective part. | |||

| Van started running rough at stoplights and at low speed. check engine light came on a day later. mechanic told us that the left exhaust manifold was cracked and needed to be replaced. this failure causes a co leak into the passenger cabin. mechanic said this should not happen on an engine with 83,000 miles.*ak | |||

| I have a mazda mpv 2000, the check engine light came on and i took it in for service on 2/13/03. i was told that the mpv required a new oxygen sensor but it would be 3 to 4 weeks due to a back order. i was told by the dealer that i could drive the car and it would harm nothing. on feb 20th, i drove 3/4 mile from home when the mpv died with the check engine light, oil light and battery light all on. the mpv was towed to the mazda dealership, they called me and said the engine was ceased.*jb | |||

| Defective part. exhaust manifold failed and is out of warranty. dealer would not cover repair cost due to being out of warranty. this type of part should not have failed in three years no matter what the milage is. it caused driver (me) to breath exhaust fumes and i became light headed and sick. weather was too cold to drive with windows open. manufacturer should cover the cost of this repair. | |||
