Excessive front brake replacement, loss of braking ability almost hit two people, does not stop right away when brakes are pressed. Tge vehicle started to roll on its own and hit my neighbors property after veing parked for days.These are major safety issues that need to be looked at. I can not afford a different vehicle right now so I'm stuck. I'm afraid everyday I drive the vehicle that my kids and I will crash due to these serious issues. I took vehicle to mechanic multiple times and they can not figure out what...

I could not recognize any prior symptoms other than possibly relating to an engine knock when the wire gets very hot before ignition switch socket has repeatedly melted since than. I have torn open and inspected each individual wire in the main harness in the engine compartment, the entire dash and even went as far as separating the fuse block for a possible short there. I have put it in shops and no one has found anything wrong to cause it. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 mazda mpv. Upon purchasing the vehicle, the contact noticed that it was not leveled and was leaning towards the passenger side.

This complaint is about part design defects for 2002 mazda mpv. Over years, I was struggling to solve engine light-on which took place every once while. Recently, the thing got worse - engine idle rough, engine lack of power, jerking at low rpm. After long time struggle, I've finally found the problem, which was caused by a pcv hose failure. I've never thought it was a pcv hose problem, because the original pcv hose (part # aj51-13-89) has been recalled by mazda and replaced by new one (part # aj51-13-89ya, it...

I own a 2004 mazd mpv van. When the transmission lever is moved to d for drive, the the air conditionin (a/c ) on/off swicth is hidden behind the lever no matter how what the driver seat settings may be. I have contacted mazda, but they have failed to provide any remedy for this problem. I strongly believe that this is a driving hazard as I have had a few close calls trying to turn the a/c on or off while driving. *Ak

We were broadsided by a vehicle that ran a red light at full speed. The impact was on the passenger side. The car flipped over and skidded onthe passenger side then flipped back onto the drivers side and skidded before rolling over at least once. Not one air bag deployed. Thank god for the seat belts. They saved our lives. Injuries were concussions, sprained neck, injuries to lower neck, back and shoulder of passenger. We landed upside down, released our seat belts and crawled to safety with the help of police and fire. Our speed was about 25-30 miles /hour. Our car was totalled. The other driver was cited in the accident.

Being in one dealer 4 times and another one time. Still not fixed whining noise in back, ticking and clicking noise in rotor/ brake, air conditioner, heat, rough drive, and seat sagging. New dealer verified the problems, and said all was the characteristic of the car, but we fixed the rotor/brake noise by resurfacing the rotor. The first dealer already did the resurfacing. But no fix. That wasa what 2d dealer verified in 1st place. I did not have any more time to waste by going to 3rd dealer. Not fix as of 4/9/07. What else I need to do? Car has 36,ooo miles. *Ak

Consumer was driving and while adjusting the radio vehicle went down a 6 foot embankment and rolled over. Upon impact, air bags failed to deploy. Vehicle was totalled. *Ak *tc

I bought this car for 6 months, the engine light on twice, didn't fix it first time, the advisor said the gas tank cap is not close tight enought. Couple of days later, the engine light is one again, this time they found control system incorrect flow, small leak, hose off of purge valve at air cleaner housing. Car pulls to left on highway and right on local street. Brought in 4 time, admit alignment on the 3rd time and fix it, but still pull. Brought in again the fourth time, said found no pulling problem. ...
