DURING THE FIRST THREE MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, THE VEHICLE STALLED THREE TIMES DURING ACCELERATION. THE DEALERSHIP EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THE FAILURE CAUSE TO BE AN OXYGEN SENSOR IN THE COMPUTER. THE TRIBUTE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEREFORE REPAIRED AT NO COST.

THE FIRST FAILURE WAS REPLACE BY MAZDA AND THE SECOUND APPEARS TO BE MY RESPONSABILITY EVEN THOUGH I'VE ONLY LOGGED 50K ON THE REPLACED TRANIE. I HAVE PERFORMED ALL THE MAINTENANCE AND EACH TIME I HAVE THEM LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THE SAME UNTIL IT FAILS; IT'S NORMAL FOR THIS CAR! THE OTHER ANSWER IS TO BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH IS A WASTE CONSIDERING THEY ALREADY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND THE FIX. I'M TIRED OF HAVING TO PAY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT'S STRANDED ME ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSED TRAFFIC JAMS AND TOWING FEES AND LEFT ME WITH A CAR THAT COSTS ME MORE IN REPAIRS THEN IT'S WORTH. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in ALDIE, VA.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on Apr 04, 2005.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by Mazda North American Operations had a problem with EQUIPMENT . I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY 1997 MAZDA 626. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO MAZDA CORP. AND NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AUG. 2002, A GA MAZDA DEALER ADMITTED THAT MAZDA IS AWARE THAT THE THIS YEAR MAKE & MODEL HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. DUE TO THIS ADMISSION MY TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND I SPLIT THE COST 50/50 WITH THE DEALER. NOW TWO PLUS YEARS LATER, I AM TOLD TODAY BY A CA MAZDA DEALER THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AGAIN. THE CA MAZDA DELAER ALSO ADMITS THAT THIS YEAR MAKE & MODEL HAS A KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT WARRANTS THAT TECHNICALLY IT IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE DEALER TO OFFER SUCH INFORMATION...BUT ONLY TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT HAND. THEY STATED THEY WERE BEING NICE BY TELLING ME TO NOT PUT ANY MORE MONEY INTO THE CAR BECAUSE IT WILL PROBABLY ONLY BE A TEMPORARY FIX AND I MAY EXPERIENCE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FAILURE LATER. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT A MAJOR US CAR MANUFACTURER CAN GET AWAY WITH SELLING A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE FOR THIS MANY YEARS. PY PERUSING THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS, AND DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THAT MAZDA 626'S RANGING FROM 1994-2000 HAVE KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. YET MAZDA DEALERS & CAR LOTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE STILL ABLE TO SELL THESE CARS. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER, AND IT IS NOT FAIR TO THOSE WHO VALUE AND DEPEND ON THE AUTO INDUSTRY TO DELIVER SAFE AND WELL ENGINEERED CARS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER, HOW MANY MORE COMPLAINTS WILL IT TAKE!!*AK.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in PASADENA, CA. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. WAS NOT PART ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on June 25, 2005.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by Mazda North American Operations had a problem with EQUIPMENT . I JUST BOUGHT A 2004 MAZDA RX8 AND A PIECE OF ROAD DEBRIS HIT MY AC CONDENSER CAUSING ALL THE FREON TO LEAK OUT. THIS HAPPENED DUE TO THE GAPING HOLE IN THE FRONT AIR DAM OF MY VEHICLE. I LIVE IN SOUTHERN TEXAS WHERE TEMPS CAN CLIMB WELL OVER 100 DEGREES. (HIGHER INSIDE THE CAR) I WORRY MY 3YR OLD SON IS AT RISK OF HEAT STROKE OR WORSE FROM THE TEMPS. MAZDA WILL NOT COVER THIS IN THEIR WARRANTY YET THEY DO NOTHING TO PROTECT THE HIGHLY VULNERABLE CONDENSER, OIL COOLER, AND RADIATOR FROM BEING PELTED FROM ROAD DEBRIS. AS A MATTER OF FACT THE AIR DAM IS SO POORLY DESIGNED THAT IT ACTUALLY FUNNELS ROCKS INTO THE AC CONDENSER ITSELF. I AM NOW WORRIED THAT A PIECE OF ¿�ROAD DEBRIS¿� MAY HIT MY OIL COOLER AND SPILL OIL ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT CONSIDERED SAFE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. MANY PEOPLE ONLINE I HAVE SPOKEN TO HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THE SERVICE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED, ¿�WE SEE CARS IN HERE FOR THIS ALL THE TIME¿�. THE TOTAL REPAIR COST IS OVER 800$. EVEN HAVING TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE IS ASKING A LOT FOR THIS TYPE OF ¿�MALFUNCTION¿�. MAZDA ADVERTISES THIS CAR AS A 4-DOOR COUPE AND SELLS THE CAR ON ITS ¿�PRACTICALITY¿�. HOW PRACTICAL IS IT TO HAVE ¿�ROAD DEBRIS¿� DESTROY YOUR AC A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE? I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM INGRAM PARK AUTO CENTER HERE IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. FROM A GENTLEMAN NAMED JUAN LEON. THEY WERE OF NO HELP IN THE MATTER. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in SAN ANTONIO, TX. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

THIS YEAR I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR SOMETHING CALLED THE IDOL AIR CONTROL VALVE AND THE POWER STEERING SOMETHING OR OTHER. THIS SOUNDS FAMILIAR AND THE SYMPTOMS ARE SOMETHING I'VE EXPERIENCED BEFORE. AFTER REPLACING THE IDOL AIR CONTROL VALVE IT THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 3500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF TRYING TO FIX IT. I TOOK IT TO AAMCO AND I FEEL REALLY BAD NOW BECAUSE AFTER 3 TRIES THEY STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on May 28, 2006.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by Mazda North American Operations had a problem with EQUIPMENT . THIS IS ACTUALLY THE SECOND FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED IN EARLY 2003 WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE 3 YEAR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY (IT HAD ABOUT 33,000 MILES ON IT). THE PROBLEM WAS THE ONE OUTLINED IN THE MAZDA TSB # 0500502. I HAD THE FLUID COOLER INSTALLED AT THAT TIME AS WELL AS A REPLACEMENT FACTORY REFURBISHED FORD/MAZDA TRANSMISSION (THE DEALERSHIP SOLUTION). I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THAT THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY MORE PROBLEMS FOR THE LIFE OF THE (NEW) TRANSMISSION, WHICH I TOOK TO MEAN THAT IT WOULD LAST ABOUT 100-120,000 MILES. WELL, HERE I AM, LESS THAN 50,000 MILES LATER AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD A MAJOR FAILURE. WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A SOUND I CAN ONLY LIKEN TO TIN CANS IN A TUMBLER. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES, THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID ON THE GROUND. A GOOD MECHANIC WILL REBUILD IT FOR $2800. THAT IS MORE THAN HALF THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE (~$5000). THIS DEFECT IS APPARENTLY MUCH MORE THAN A SIMPLE MATTER OF KEEPING THE TRANSMISSION COOL, IT IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS THE MECHANICALS OF THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS LITTLE TO DO WITH THE OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF THE FLUID. SINCE THE WARRANTY ON THE CAR HAS EXPIRED, AS WELL AS THE WARRANTY ON THE WORK THE DEALERSHIP DID 3 YEARS AGO TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM INITIALLY, I AM STUCK WITH A HUGE REPAIR BILL AND NO DESIRE TO OWN THE CAR. WHEN THE REPAIR IS COMPLETE, I WILL BE SELLING THE CAR. *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in WASHINGTON, DC. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on June 16, 2006.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS had a problem with EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC. . MY 2000 MAZDA 626 LS OVERHEATED ON JUNE 16, 2006. THE O/D OFF LIGHT HAS BEEN FLASHING WHEN ON THE ROAD FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR SINCE THE FALL OF 2005. THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT YET FAILED BUT HAS BEGUN TO. THE CAR STRAINS WHENEVER I DRIVE IT & ITS LACK OF STABILITY HAS LED TO CLOSE CALLS WITH ACCIDENTS WHENEVER THERE'S RAIN OR SNOW. EVERY TIME I AM ON THE ROAD FOR MORE THAN 45 MINUTES, THE ENGINE HEATS UP TO THE POINT THAT IT BOILS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, WHICH OVERFLOWS ONTO THE REST OF THE ENGINE. AFTER APPROX. 15 MORE MINUTES, THE O/D OFF LIGHT BEGINS TO FLASH & MY CAR STARTS TO RESIST SPEEDS OVER 60 MPH. THE RPMS INCREASE WHEN THE LIGHT FLASHES & THERE'S A DANGEROUS DELAY IN MY ABILITY TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN AS THE CAR LURCHES. ON JUNE 19, 2006, I TOOK THE MAZDA TO AN IMPORTS SPECIALIST WHO INFORMED ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION WILL SOON FAIL. A NEW TRANSMISSION COSTS APPROX. $2800 & A USED ONE COSTS APPROX. $1800. HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSIONS THAT FIT MY CAR ARE THE SAME TYPE OF TRANSMISSION THAT WAS INITIALLY PUT IN MY ENGINE & WILL FAIL AFTER ANOTHER 70,000 MILES DUE TO ITS BEING TOO SMALL FOR THE 626. PUTTING AN "EXTERNAL COOLING SYSTEM" UNDER THE HOOD IS APPROXIMATELY $300 & IS A TEMPORARY BANDAID FOR THE ISSUE WHICH WILL STILL OCCUR. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH & FOUND THOUSANDS OF DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE STATED THAT ALL AUTOMATIC MAZDA 626 LS VEHICLES FROM 1994-2000 HAVE ENGINES THAT WERE MADE FOR A SMALLER CAR & ARE THEREFORE TOO SMALL FOR THE 626 LS. ACCORDING TO SAID RESEARCH ALL 1994-2000 626 LS VEHICLES HAVE TRANSMISSIONS THAT WILL FAIL BETWEEN APPROX. 70-80,000 MILES. MY CAR HAS 74,400 MILES AT THE DATE OF THIS COMPLAINT. MAZDA REFUSES TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS SITUATION, YET IT HAS BECOME COMMON KNOWLEDGE AMONG CAR DEALERSHIPS, SO THE VALUE OF MY CAR HAS DROPPED DRAMATICALLY & IT HAS BECOME DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SELL. NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNLESS AN ENTIRELY NEW ENGINE IS PUT INTO THE CAR WHICH WILL COST .Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in BOONE, NC. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on Apr 06, 2007.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS had a problem with EQUIPMENT . THE DOLLAR FIGURES ARE APPROXIMATE. IN FEBRUARY 2002 MY DAUGHTER AND I PURCHASED A USED 1999 MAZDA 626 WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FROM WILSON DODGE IN TORRINGTON CT, 06790 FOR $9000. PART OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE WAS A PROMISE TO INSTALL A SUN ROOF FOR $500. THE WARRANTY WAS FOR 60 DAYS OR 2000 MILES. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION ON THE CAR WAS ITS SECOND. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, I WOULD TAKE THAT AS GOOD NEWS. A FAULTY ONE IS REPLACED. HOW OFTEN DOES A TRANSMISSION FAIL? *AK IN APRIL (ABOUT 5 ¿� 10 DAYS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED), THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACING. THE COST WAS ESTIMATED AT $2300. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS COVERED BY THE DEALER IN GOOD FAITH, I AUTHORIZED THE INSTALLATION OF A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. DURING THIS NEGOTIATION I HAD TO ENDURE WITH SOME SNIDE REMARKS FROM SOME OF THE OTHER SALES PEOPLE WHEN I MENTIONED THAT ANOTHER DEALER WOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS. THEIR RESPONSE WAS ¿�YEAH. THEY SAY THAT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SELL YOU THE CAR!¿� (THE WARRANTY ON THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION WAS 1 YEAR OR 12,000 MILES) THE SUNROOF COST WAS FORFEITED LEAVING A BALANCE OF $1800. IT WAS AGREED THAT I WOULD PAY $300 A MONTH UNTIL THE BALANCE WAS DONE. IN APRIL OF 2007, THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MAZDA HAD USED AN INFERIOR TRANSMISSION IN ITS 626 MODELS. (HTTP://WWW.ESTREETJOURNAL.COM/MAZDA.HTM) MY BIG COMPLAINT IS AGAINST MAZDA, BUT I ALSO HAVE ONE AGAINST WILSON DODGE. THEY HAD TO HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. MECHANICS KNOW THESE THINGS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A CASE OF FRAUD ON THEIR PART. TWICE MY DAUGHTER WAS STUCK ON A BUSY ROAD BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THIS IS A FATHER¿�S WORST NIGHTMARE. I AM LOOKING FOR A SETTLEMENT THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE REMAINING BALANCE ON THE LOAN ($1,600), REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE FIRST TRANSMISSION REPLACED $2300) AS WELL AS A RECALL ON THE MAZDA 626 WHERE THIS GROSSLY, NEGLIGENT PROBLEM EXISTS. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in TORRINGTON, CT.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on Sept 05, 2002.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS had a problem with EQUIPMENT . FROM THE DAY I DROVE MY NEW 2002 MPV HOME THE TRANSMISSION MIS-SHIFTED AND BUCKED. I CALLED THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING DAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT "THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER WAS LEARNING MY DRIVING HABITS AND IT WOULD GO AWAY. AFTER 3 MONTHS THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND BEGAN STALLING AT LIGHTS. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED THEM WHAT THEY NEEDED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THEY SAID THAT THERE WERE NO COMPUTER UPGRADES FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THERE WERE. A YEAR PASSED AND IT CONTINUED TO BUCK AND STALL. I TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN AND TOLD THEM I THOUGHT IT WAS A "LEMON" AND I WANTED IT REPAIRED. THEY TOOK THE CAR AND "FIXED IT" BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO MIS SHIFT REGULARLY. AT AROUND 25,000 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST REVEALED IT NEEDED NEW PLUGS. AFTER REPLACING THE PLUGS IT APPEARED TO RUN LESS ERRATICALLY. IT NOW HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST REVEALS THAT THE #5 CYLINDER COIL IS OUT. APPARENTLY EACH SPARK PLUG HAS ITS OWN COIL. I HAVE ORDERED THE COIL AND AM WAITING TO SEE WHAT PROBLEM WILL COME UP NEXT. IN OCT 2005 MAZDA SENT OUT A VOLUNTARY LABORATORY EMISSION TESTING FORM. SINCE THEY WANTED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS AND I ALREADY DIDN'T TRUST THERE COMPETENCY I DECLINED THE OFFER. NEVERTHELESS, THIS TOLD ME THAT THEY MUST BE HAVING EMISSION PROBLEMS AS WELL. I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR A GOVERNMENT REQUIRED RECALL. THE DEALER NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE, THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOW I HAVE NO RECOURSE. I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN MAZDA. I WILL BE CONTACTING SOME ATTORNEYS ABOUT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL TAKE A FATALITY ON A FREEWAY FROM A FAILED TRANSMISSION BEFORE MAZDA OR THE GOVERNMENT WILL LOOK INTO THIS! *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in EASTPOINTE, MI.

IT NEEDS AN TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER TO BE INSTALL BUT WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE, ONLY A BULLETIN THAT MUST BE PAID FOR BY THE CUSTOMER. EXACT DAY THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN IS UNKNOWN. A NEW PROPER TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE INTRODUCE AS A RECALL FOR THESE CARS. *TR.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in BOYNTON BEACH, FL. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on Nov 01, 2007.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS had a problem with EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL . I INSTALLED THE AFTERMARKET MAZDASPEED LOWERING SPRINGS ON MY MAZDASPEED3, CAREFULLY FOLLOWING THE SUPPLIED INSTRUCTIONS. THE INSTRUCTIONS REQUIRE REMOVING THE BUMP STOPS FROM THE STRUT MOUNTS. I THOUGHT THIS WAS STRANGE, BUT I DID IT, AND LATER FOUND THAT MY RIGHT-FRONT TIRE TREAD SURFACE HAD MADE CONTACT WITH THE TOP OF THE INSIDE OF THE FENDER. THE RESULT WAS DEEP CIRCUMFERENTIAL GROOVES IN THE TIRE, AND THE PLASTIC FENDER LINER WAS COMPLETELY WORN AWAY IN ONE AREA. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IT COULD LEAD TO A TIRE BLOWOUT. AND YES, I AM CERTAIN THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS SHOW THE REMOVAL OF THE BUMP STOPS. I HAVE THE INSTRUCTIONS AND PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in HOUSTON, TX. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on July 18, 2008.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS had a problem with EQUIPMENT . I HAD A COUPON FOR $14.99-OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION FROM FIRESTONE.COM. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE SHOP...DID NOT ROTATE TIRES AND SAID THEY HAD NO COUPON. I WAS CHARGED MORE THAN THE COUPON. I RELUCTANTLY PAID THE BILL. I THEN DROVE TO LAKEVILLE, MN...ON MY WAY TO VISIT FATHER IN BATESVILLE, AR. I NOTICED A STRANGE SMELL AND ALMOST THE SAME TIME MY CAR POPPED OUT OF GEAR. SO I PULLED OFF I-35 AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE CAP WAS NOT ON CORRECTLY, (1 1/2 TURNS THEN IT WAS TIGHTENED) I CALLED FIRESTONE IMMEDIATELY TO REPORT THE CAP AND SMELL. MY DIPSTICK READ FULL...I WAS NOT ABLE TO CHECK THE TRANNY FLUID SINCE IT IS BELOW (MANUAL TRANSMISSION), BUT WAS ASSURED BY FIRESTONE THEY CHECK THE LEVEL WITH AN OIL CHANGE. LONG STORY SHORT...I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY OILPAN AND TRANSMISSION. NOW TODAY THERE IS NO FLUID IN MY RADIATOR...AND I HAVE DRAINED ALL OF MY RESOURCES AND HAVE BECOME DELINQUENT WILL MY REGULAR BUDGET. THERE WAS ONLY 1/2 QT OIL IN MY MOTOR AND 1/2 QT TRANNY FLUID IN MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ALL MY RECEIPTS FROM REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND HAVE SPOKEN TO MECHANICS. THEY HAVE REPEATED TO ME THAT I NEED TO FIND LEGAL COUNSEL OR GET HELP SINCE THE CAR WAS FINE BEFORE I WENT TO FIRESTONE. THEY HAVE IGNORED MY LAST 2 CALLS ( ON HOLD)THERE WAS ONLY 1/2 QT OIL IN MY MOTOR WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY FATHERS IN ARKANSAS. MY CAR HAS NEVER BURNED OIL OR THE LIKE. THERE WAS A HOLE IN MY OILPAN BETWEEN THE SIZE OF A GOLFBALL AND A TENNIS BALL...THE CAR DID NOT HIT ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS. AT THE SAME TIME MY OIL WAS DRAINED THE DIPSTICK CONTINUED TO READ FULL, THE MECHANIC WAS CONCERNED. I COULD NO LONGER USE 5TH GEAR AND 3RD GAVE OUT AS WELL. FIRESTONE ASSURED ME ALL FLUIDS WERE CHECKED...BUT THE MECHANIC WAS NOT CONVINCED. MY FATHERS NEW DRIVEWAY WAS STAINED FROM THE OIL. I CANNOT REMEMBER WHICH DAY I HAD MY OIL CHANGED, FRIDAY OR SATURDAY JULY 18TH OR 19TH. I NEED TO FIND THE RECEIPT. *TR.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in PROCTOR, MN.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on Feb 09, 2009.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS had a problem with EQUIPMENT . I DO NOT HAVE A FAILURE TO REPORT. HOWEVER, I DO WANT TO REPORT THAT MAZDA IS DOING A DISSERVICE TO PARENTS WHO DRIVE THEIR CARS BY NOT PUBLISHING THE UPPER WEIGHT LIMIT FOR CHILDREN FOR THEIR LATCH ANCHORS. EVERY OTHER MANUFACTURER PUBLISHES THIS INFORMATION (IE, 40 POUNDS FOR HONDA, 48 FOR FORD AND GM, 60 POUNDS FOR SUBARU) EXCEPT MAZDA. BY NOT PROVIDING THIS INFORMATION, PARENTS MAY BE INCLINED NOT TO USE THE LATCH SYSTEM, THEREFORE USING THE SEATBELT, WHICH IS MORE DIFFICULT AND MAKES IT MORE LIKELY TO GET AN IMPROPER CARSEAT INSTALLATION, MEANING THAT THE CHILD IN THAT SEAT IS LESS SECURE THAN THEY WOULD BE IN A SEAT INSTALLED WITH LATCH. THE NHTSA SHOULD REQUIRE THAT ALL CAR MANUFACTURERS IN THE US PUBLISH THE UPPER WEIGHT LIMIT FOR A SAFE LATCH INSTALLATION. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in SMYRNA, GA.

I TOOK MY 2009 MAZDA6 TOURING EDITION IN TO GET MY FIRST OIL CHANGE. THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH ONLY 3,600 MILES. WHEN I RETURNED LATER TO PICK UP THE CAR I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE DOOR LOCKS. I SAID OKAY SO WHAT NOW. THE JIM ELLIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID WE WILL GIVE YOU A LOANER. I TURNED IN THE CAR ON SATURDAY I PICKED THE CAR UP ON TUESDAY AND DROVE IT HOME. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY HOUSE I TRIED TO LOCK THE DOOR BY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE DRIVER SIDE. NOTHING HAPPENED SO I TRIED A FEW MORE TIMES. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK THE DOOR WAS WITH THE KEY. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY ASKED IF I COULD BRING THE CAR BACK FOR THEM TO TAKE A LOOK. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY STILL COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY AGAIN GAVE ME A LOANER CAR. THURSDAY EVENING I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS FIXED. THEY SAID AN ENGINEER HAD LOOKED AT THE CAR AND IT WAS FIXED FOR SURE. WELL GUESS WHAT IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE BATTERY MUST HAVE BEEN RUN DOWN BECAUSE THE DOORS WERE LEFT OPEN.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on Mar 10, 2009.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS had a problem with EQUIPMENT . THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT PART DESIGN DEFECTS FOR 2002 MAZDA MPV. OVER YEARS, I WAS STRUGGLING TO SOLVE ENGINE LIGHT-ON WHICH TOOK PLACE EVERY ONCE WHILE. RECENTLY, THE THING GOT WORSE - ENGINE IDLE ROUGH, ENGINE LACK OF POWER, JERKING AT LOW RPM. AFTER LONG TIME STRUGGLE, I'VE FINALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY A PCV HOSE FAILURE. I'VE NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS A PCV HOSE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL PCV HOSE (PART # AJ51-13-89) HAS BEEN RECALLED BY MAZDA AND REPLACED BY NEW ONE (PART # AJ51-13-89YA, IT LOOKS LIKE REVISION A) BACK TO YEARS AGO. I'VE THOUGHT MAZDA HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY, IT?S NOT YET. THIS TIME THE PCV HOSE HAS FAILED AGAIN, AND IT'S SO WEAK THAT THE HOSE COLLAPSED AGAIN UNDER VACUUM PRESSURE. TO FIX THE PROBLEM, I ORDERED A NEW HOSE, PART # AJ51-13-89YB. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PART # CAREFULLY, YOU CAN INFER THAT MAZDA HAS REALIZED THAT THEIR REVISION A HOSE DIDN'T?T WORK, WHICH WAS USED TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL UNDER RECALL # 2204H, BECAUSE THEY HAVE RE--DESIGNED REVISION B HOSE. IT?S CLEARLY THAT THE ORIGINAL HOSE AND REVISION A HAD DESIGN DEFECTS. HOWEVER, THEY HAVEN?T ISSUE A RECALL TO REPLACE REVISION A YET THIS TIME. MAZDA SHOULD REALLY RECALL THIS PCV HOSE AGAIN. THE THING IS EVEN BAD TO CUSTOMERS. BECAUSE THE DESIGN DEFECTS AND UNCERTAINTY OF THE PART MAKE THE HOSE REALLY SPECIAL, NO RETAIL STORES CARRY THIS HOSE. THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN FIND IT IS AT MAZDA DEALERSHIP, AND IT COSTS $67, MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE. IT?S JUST A RUBBER HOSE, USUALLY A COUPLE OF DOLLARS. I CALLED THE MAZDA USA, THEY TOLD ME SINCE THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY VAN, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, LOT OF MAZDA OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OWNERS REPORTING THIS ISSUE.HTTP://FORUM.MPVCLUB.COM/VIEWTOPIC.PHP?T=17546. *TR.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in ELK GROVE, CA.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on Sept 24, 2009.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by Mazda North American Operations had a problem with EQUIPMENT . A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS PURCHASED FROM A MAZDA DEALER IN MAYAGUEZ, PUERTO RICO ON AUGUST 29, 2009. THE SAME WAS PLACED ON THE VEHICLE, A 2005 MAZDA RX-8 SHINKA MODEL, ONE WEEK AFTER THE PURCHASE SINCE WE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THIS PART AND A NEW SET OF SPARK PLUGS THAT WAS ALSO PURCHASED AT A PRICE OF $200.00. THE CAR WAS NOT IN USE UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2009. ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 THE CAR HAD A FAILURE AND I COULD SEE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE CAR AND THE CAR TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I COULD SMELL BURNT PLASTIC AND SAW MELTED PLASTIC COMING BELOW THE CAR. THE DAY ALL THIS HAPPENED, IT WAS RAINING SO THE CAR WAS PROTECTED FROM A FIRE DUE TO THE RAIN. I GOT PICTURES OF SOME OF THE MELTED PARTS. AFTER THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT THE HEAT PRODUCED BY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BURNED THE NEW SPARK PLUGS, THE SPARK PLUGS CABLES, THE MODULES AND THAT THERE WAS ASH ON THE SYSTEM THAT NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THEY DO NOT WANT TO REPLACE ALL THE PARTS THAT BURNED AT THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTER SINCE MY CAR GUARANTEE WAS NO LONGER VALID. THEY DID NOT MAKE ANY EFFORTS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM KNOWING THAT ALL THE DAMAGES WERE DUE TO THE FAULTY CONDITION OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THEY WILL ONLY PROVIDE A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER ($1500.00 COST) BUT I HAVE TO PAY ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT FOR THE REST OF THE DAMAGE. I KNEW THAT ANOTHER CLIENT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THE SAME MODEL OF CAR AND THAT THE PART WAS ALSO SUPPLIED BY AUTOLAND.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on Sept 20, 2009.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS had a problem with EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL . THE BRACKET FOR THE CLUTCH PEDAL ON MY 2004 MAZDA RX-8 BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS, THE CLUTCH WOULD SQUEAK A LITTLE BIT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I NOTICED THAT THE BRACKET WAS LOOSE ONCE, SO I TIGHTENED THE BOLT ON IT, BUT THAT DIDN'T CHANGE THE SQUEAKING. LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THE WHOLE BRACKET WAS ABOUT TO FAIL! I TOOK A CLOSE LOOK AT THE BROKEN BRACKET, AND IT APPEARS THAT A WELD BROKE. IT OCCURRED ONE MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK. AS I DOWNSHIFTED FROM THIRD TO SECOND GEAR, I HEARD A 'CRACK' AND THEN MY CLUTCH WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY. I LOOKED DOWN, AND THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS NEXT TO (AND TOUCHING) THE BRAKE PEDAL (IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT CLOSE). I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO SHIFT. NOW, I CANNOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE, AS THE CLUTCH WILL NOT ENGAGE WITH THE BROKEN BRACKET. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IN CASES LIKE MINE WHEN IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in TUCSON, AZ.

THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TWO ARE ALREADY BROKEN. AFTER READING SEVERAL REVIEWS AND AFTER GOING TO SEVERAL AUTO MECHANICS IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE MOTOR MOUNTS. THE MOTOR MOUNTS CAUSE INTENSE VIBRATION WHILE SLOWING AND SPEEDING. IT IS PRETTY SCARY. I WHICH THEY WOULD NOT ONLY CALL THE PART A DEFECT BUT RECALL IT. I FEEL IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND ALL THE AUTO MECHANICS TELL ME THE SAME. MAZDA OF COURSE STATES IT IS NOT A HAZARD. WHEN SOMEONE'S ENGINES DROPS OUT OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MOTOR MOUNTS FAILING BECAUSE THEY ARE DEFECTIVE I ENSURE THEY WILL READVISE THEIR JUDGMENT.

THE CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 38K MILES AND TO ME IT SEEMS VERY ODD FOR A CAR BEING THIS YOUNG IN MILES, TO HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS SUCH AS THESE. AFTER GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE MAZDA CORPORATE OFFICE, THEY FIRST AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PARTS FOR MY LATEST PROBLEMS SINCE I'M NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS FINE WITH THAT UNTIL I FOUND OUT THE LABOR WAS OVER $500 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on June 26, 2010.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS had a problem with EQUIPMENT . I RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED MAZDA CX-7 GRAND TOURING EDITION VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT ON NOVEMBER 8, 2008 WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER OWNING IT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING WHEN I HEARD A POP AND CLANKING SOUND. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE UNTIL MY CAR STARTED LOSING POWER HOWEVER I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO WORK. NO LIGHTS CAME ON, NOTHING. MY HUSBAND CAME THAT MORNING TO DRIVE THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND WITHIN 2 MILES ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. IT WAS TOWED TO GRAPPONE MAZDA IN CONCORD NH FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE WARRANTY WORK SINCE WE WERE STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY. WE WERE TOLD TO PRODUCE ALL SERVICE RECORDS WHICH WE DID, AND THEY FOUND SOME GAPS, HOWEVER, NEVER OVER THE RECOMMENDED 7500 MILES THAT THEY RECOMMEND FOR AN OIL CHANGE. OUR WARRANTY COVERAGE WAS DENIED TWICE. TO THIS DAY, WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR ENGINE. THERE HAVE BEEN SUGGESTIONS AND ALSO WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE TURBO DEFINITELY WENT. WE OBTAINED A CARFAX TO SEE WHAT WAS DONE TO THE CAR BEFORE WE OWNED IT AND FOUND OUT THE TURBO HAD BEEN REPLACED BEFORE WE BOUGHT THE CAR WHEN IT WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD WITH 18,000 MILES ON IT. MAZDA IS REFUSING TO WORK WITH US ON THIS AND HAVE LEFT US WITHOUT A CAR NOW FOR 2 MONTHS. *TR.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in ASHLAND, NH. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

MAZDA HOOD 9999 car safety problem was reported on Aug 19, 2010.MAZDA HOOD 9999, manufactured by MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS had a problem with EQUIPMENT . I PURCHASED A NEW MAZDA 6 IN 2005. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY 3 TIMES. EACH TIME THE BATTERY WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING. IT WOULD BE DRIVING FINE, I WOULD PARK AND GET OUT. WHEN RETURNING TO THE CAR, IT WILL NOT TURN AT ALL. INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL LIGHTS AND RADIO WORKED FINE BUT CAR WILL NOT TURN. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE BATTERY WAS JUMPED AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP AND REPLACED UNDER THE MAZDA BATTERY MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY WENT OUT BEFORE THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY. THE LAST TIME IN AUGUST OF 2010, THE BATTERY WILL NOT JUMP. I PAID TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY HAD A CRACK IN IT AND ACID LEAKED OUT AND AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS TIME, THE BATTERY WAS COVERED UNDER THE MAZDA MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND THE WIRING HARNESS WAS COVERED UNDER MY MAZDA EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE LEAKING ACID COULD HAVE CAUSED AN EXPLOSION AND MY FAMILY WAS LUCKY. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THAT THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY WILL REPLACE ONLY THE BATTERY ITSELF AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS DENYING THE ENTIRE CLAIM BECAUSE THE DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HARNESS WAS FROM THE BATTERY ACID. SO, HERE I AM WITH A BATTERY UNDER MAZDA MANUFACTURER WARRANTY, COVERED BY A MAZDA EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN AND I HAD TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE BATTERY ITSELF. I PAID FOR THE TOW, THE LABOR AND PARTS FOR THE HARNESS, RENTAL CAR WHILE IT WAS BEING SERVICES. AND THE FACT IS THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY BATTERY THAT LEAKED ACID, PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER, AND I WAS STUCK WITH THE COLLATERAL DAMAGES. CONSIDERING THAT THIS WAS MY 3RD BATTERY REPLACEMENT IN 5 YEARS, I'M CERTAIN THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE BATTERIES OR SOMETHING IN THE CAR ITSELF. I AM NOW DRIVING WITH MY 3RD MAZDA BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND AFRAID OF WHEN MY NEXT INCIDENT IS GOING TO BE.. *TR.Mazda Hood 9999 problem was reported in SUWANEE, GA.
