Mazda Protege 2001 Vehicle Speed Control Cruise ControlMazda Protege 2001 Vehicle Speed Control Cruise Control Review #10005751 MAZDA PROTEGE 2001 car safety problem was reported on Feb 12, 2003.MAZDA PROTEGE 2001, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL . the cruise control selector on the 2001 mazda protege is a short stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. once the cruise control is enabled by pressing a button in the end of the stalk, the cruise speed is selected by moving the stalk down. if cruise is interrupted, as by stepping on the brake pedal, the pre-set speed can be resumed by moving the stalk up. since the stalk changes location with the movement of the steering wheel, it is very easy to inadvertently operate the stalk. i have hit it when attempting to operate the windshield wiper/washer (another stalk on the right side) and while turning a corner. the hazard is that the enabled cruise control is not disabled if the vehicle drops below a certain speed, stops, or even when the ignition is turned off. it remains enabled until intentionally turned off. a driver, unaware that the cruise control was enabled, could accidentally move the stalk up to resume, and the vehicle would accelerate to the last pre-set speed. even though a tap of the brake pedal would interrupt the acceleration, by the time the driver realized it and reacted, a lot of damage could be done. a driver could also accidentally move the stalk down and unknowingly set the current speed as the cruise speed. if the driver lifted his/her foot from the gas pedal, the vehicle would not decelerate as expected but would continue at the set speed..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mazda Protege 2001 problem was reported in LAMBERTVILLE, MI.

Mazda Protege 2001 Reports
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.

My car was parked inside a humid garage so when it stalls on me seas Another really difficult thing to diagnose was the engine light, and warning bell sounding off for a yr. the dealer ship misdiagnosed the problem. 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.
