(note: when pcv hose collapsed, it caused a vacuum leak that affected my brake system and caused problems while in traffic, problem intensity was between minor and major) i had my pcv hose replaced in 2004 under the recall, but the replacement hose also collapsed. i've never heard of a pcv hose collapsing. i've heard of them becoming dry/brittle since it's a rubber hose, but i've never heard of a pcv hose collapsing until the mazda recall. there is some vacuum on the hose, but it's not very strong, i don't think it's strong enough to cause a collapse. in my opinion, there needs to be a second recall to replace the now collapsing replacement hoses. i contacted mazda corporation at 11:30 a.m. on 7 may 09, their response was that they did not keep records on expected life span or repetitive problems with parts and that since i had put a lot of miles on the van and it was 5 years old, and since they did the recall work, it was now my responsibility to replace the faulty replacement hose. it's difficult for me to believe the manufacturer would not keep records on faulty, recalled parts, especially for unusual problems. mazda's case file for my complaint to them is 123531180. *tr.Mileage was 124000 miles.

My 2001 626 transmission slips slightly when first put it into drive from park then bucks. After it engages it shifts fine I have a 1998 Mazda Protege LX Touring Edition (4dr) and need to install a rear-facing infant car seat (with base) in the back seat, preferably center position.

Charged me for a diagnostic test they did not do. They sold me a battery, and sent me down the r I can't find my Satellitte Radio Number, it appeared originally on my NAV Screen when I would depress the SAT button. It no longer appears.
