Consumers union recommended I contact you. Cam drive belt manufactured by the kelly-springfield divsion of goodyear tire and rubber, separated into shreds after 49,800 miles.

fault. Machanic, ase certified, can not find physical evidence of any other part being at fault. I would like reimbursement for damage to vehicle, and clarification as to why a company would rate a replacement product for fewer miles than recommended in the automobile owner's manual, and not notify the repair shop or owner. I am lucky breakage did not occurred in heavy traffic! For more information please contact either myself, or endy auto repair, 1706 s. Iowa ave, joplin, mo. 64804, Ph. #417-626-7755. Thank you!*Ak

On the above mentioned dates I encountered mechinical problems which consisted of my cooling system. I replaced the water pump, thermost, radiator, and timing belt. Six months later my heater and defogger was working improperly. At the time I had no idea it was related to the first problem I encountered and I couldn't afford to take it in at the time. So I only drove the car when the temperature was at least 45 degrees or higher. After I finally paid off my car I was finacially able to take it in and had the...

heater problem checked out. I was told by covington pike mazda mr. Sommers , that they were informed by mazda manufacturer in 1995 that these cars had a defect in the engine block that resticted the flow of the cooliant, which affected the heater/defrost/cooling system, and the only remedy was to buy a new motor. 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

My spouse was on her way to work when the car engine was rough idling and stalled. No engine light or instrument warning indicator came on. The car was towed to a local mazda service dealer the same day. We contacted the service dept on 01/07/99 and learned that the car had a failure, an electrical short in one of the six ignition wires. We also learned that unburned fuel due to this ignition wire failure pass through to the catalyst converters and damaged the left catalytic converter (ruptured). The estimate...

given to us by the mazda dealer for replacement parts + labor was $1300 for replacing 3 converters. Mazda indicated the emission system (including the converters) was not covered by either our extended warranty or by mazda. All failed parts involved were original mazda for mazda 929. I and my spouse extremely concern of driving this vehicle based on this incident. There should be a recall for mazda 929's to check the ignition wires and exhaust systems at their expense at the next scheduled maintenance interval. *Ak
While driving at a normal speed of 55-60mph on dry pavement the right engine head cracked. It is unusual for the engine head to fail. Dealer and manufacturer cannot duplicate the problem.*Ak
Carbon buildup in engine caused failure of radiator at plastic filter. This carbon has also clogged the engine cooling ports and the heater core.
Parking vehicle, heard loud bang, water pump went out and plastic radiator blew up. This could result in burn injuries to driver and pedestrians near vehicle. *Ak
