| August 26, 2003 the mazda was in an auto accident. approximately 2 weeks before the accident the mazda started stuttering. we had the mazda put on computer and was told it needed new sensor. the check engine light continue to go on and off. immediately before the accident the mazda started stuttering and lost speed and that led to not being able to keep speed up and when we entered the traffice light it turned yellow then while we were under it it turned red and we were hit on the passenger side. sept 26, 2003 i am approximately 115 miles from home the over drive light starts flashing and i lose speed again the engine is smoking. the car is towed back to charleston, sc where i live. i had to spend 3hrs at a rest area all alone with my 15 yr old daughter. this is the exact rest area were a woman was murdered 2 years ago. we were scared to death. the check engine light is back on. i am on my way to the mazda dealership today for estimate. i think mazda has a major problem in putting out lemons not cars. i want and will join class act lawsuit. | |||

| I purchased this vehicle, new, on april 8, 1999. immediately i noticed problems, the car made an odd noise and vibration at rest, this was repaired, a missing bolt from the heat shield . the cd player stopped working within 10 days of purchase, replaced. warped wind deflecter replaced, and blown interior light fuses. the major problem of course is the transmission. car was taken to dealer on april 19, 1999 reported concerns with the transmission, shifting roughly, lurching and slipping at various speeds. technician test drove car, said there was no problem, did not do electronic analysis of transmission. i indicated my concern regarding the transmission to mazda corp. in the mazda care survey as well. on dec. 15, i went to dealership and demanded that a tech. ride with me as i expressed concerns. car had almost cut off while driving 3 days before. i had to rent a car to go to florida because i was afraid to put car on the road. car was left with dealer, and finally found to have transmission problem. they want to replace transmission, and then offer me a 12,000 mile warranty on the replaced transmission, when i currently have 35,000 miles remaining an my bumper to bumper warranty. this is inequitable, and unacceptable. this car was sold to me with a faulty transmission, and i want a replacement vehicle (new) or my money. | |||
