It also happened last year and we had cruise control components replaced by montgomery mazda in charlotte, nc. *Ak

I contacted mazda corp. And got no assistance. I ended up buying a new motor from mazda on feb-23-99 and it was installed and returned onmar-05-99. My total out of pocket cost was $4925.60 Which mazda refused to reimburse me for . I feel that because mazda knew of this problem back in 1995 when they informed the dealers with this technical infrmation. That any customer who encounterd these problems mazda would repair at no cost to the customer. *Ak
