Mazda Protege 2002 Power Train Automatic Transmission Review #10080591

MAZDA PROTEGE 2002 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2002.MAZDA PROTEGE 2002, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . we purchased a mazda protege5 in january of 2002. within a very short time, (~1000 miles, maybe less), we noticed a high pitched whining noise. this noise occurs between 50 and 75 miles per hour on average. we brought the vehicle in to mazda, and a mechanic immediately tied the problem to the transmission. so, in very short order, they replaced our transmission, (which worried me a little). unfortunately, this did not correct the problem, so we complained once more, and within a week or two mazda apparently released a bulletin which releases them of all responsibility. this bulletin apparently states that the whining noise associated with certain mazda protege5 vehicles is merely a vibration in the engine and will not affect the integrity of the vehicle or its resale value. i would like to suggest that i certainly would not buy an otherwise pristine vehicle if it whined every time i got on the freeway...i have to turn my radio up quite loud just to drown it out!!! mazda will do nothing for us, which is sad, because i have enjoyed owning this and other vehicles, but will not necessarily consider buying another. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1000 miles.

MAZDA PROTEGE 2002 car safety problem was reported on Feb 07, 2007.MAZDA PROTEGE 2002, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with STEERING . on 2/7/2007 had a 15 mile highway ride, then proceeded three city blocks to park after exiting the highway. place the stick shift in reverse to parallel park however no power steering available. inevitably had to struggle with steering wheel to force the car into a parked position. upon returning to the car within about 10 mins the problem seemed to self correct. however, the return 15 mile highway trip proved that the problem was not resolved when a right turn was made into a business complex -- the power steering failed. according to the mechanic, a seal needed to be replaced on a pump. that same day as the incident, the car was taken to the mechanic who could not repair it the same day because the part was on backorder at the dealership until 2/19/2007. the mechanic stated that when a part is on backorder, it typically indicates that there is a systemic problem with the part. this in addition to the mechanic stating that this is not a typical problem that should be found on a vehicle, along with the fact that the miles on my vehicle are principally from highway travel (indicating less wear and the car) are the key factors that made me consider recommending this as a potential issue. additionally, although there is heavy rush-hour traffic in the washington dc area, i am not often affected by this which also reduced the wear-and-tear on the car. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 79000 miles.

Mazda Protege 2002 Visibility Review #10234651

MAZDA PROTEGE 2002 car safety problem was reported on July 16, 2008.MAZDA PROTEGE 2002, manufactured by MAZDA MOTOR CORP had a problem with VISIBILITY . driving car in pouring tropical rainstorm at about 40mph in heavy southbound three lane traffic. windshield wipers were running on low. turned wipers to high, they ran for about one minute, then stopped in the middle of the windshield. had to immediately pull into center lane u-turn turnaround and sit there with flashers on until rain subsided (this in itself is dangerous). wipers would not run at all after that. there were 1 adult and 3 children in the car. returned home. checked fuse and it was ok. visual inspection of the windshield motor revealed that the ground wire had broken off at the loop where it held in place by the wiper motor mounting bolt (with washers). i suspect that the sharp edges of the steel washers had cut the brass ground wire loop over time. i also suspect that this loop has been broken for several years, and that when the wipers are turned on high, that the motor vibrates in the rubber mount bushing, and the brass ground loop shank jitters off of the loop (where it is normally just lying upon due to gravity), thus causing the motor's gound circuit to open, and the wipers to fail. the car has about 69,000 miles on it. the is a 5 cent part that has put out family in harms way twice now. if this is not just an isolated incident on my vehicle, i predict that there will be deaths and injuries caused when drivers cannot see where they are driving. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 69000 miles.
