| My 03 protege has vics screws falling out and all issues that comes with it. my car has been parked in the driveway untouched because i cannot afford to pay for the repairs due to how many times my car has had issues and cannot pass emissions. so i have to turn my tags in within the month because mazda wont reconize the issue being their recall since my vin is out of their window for cars being defective. i dont understand why if so many people are having the same problem; why those months when we have the same parts? mazda claims its the torque but obviously its the screws falling out including the butterflies. why was the torque different those 3 months? if mazda is saying the recall is due to the torque being wrong and the screws are falling out then why are so many vehicles that are in and out of the vin number needed to be required for free repair? why are so many vehicles being checked and mechanics finding screws and butterflies in other areas other than where they should be? if the recall is due to torque, then why are you replacing the original screws? if torque is the case why not just use the correct torque usage, you know the torque thats in my car! why are proteges with the vins out of the recall window having the same corrective action when they go to get the repair and get the same parts when they had the correct torque in the first place! its clear this recall isnt about torque, this is about it therecall part being faulty no matter what torque was used. wouldnt it have been more cost effective and easier for you just to use the redquired torque rather than new parts since you say. mazda doesnt take this seriously and fix their faulty part. we need help! | |||
