Headlight malfunction mazda mpv 2001 while driving my mpv on city streets & freeways, the low beams flicker, or turn off, and the high beam indicator illuminates on dash board. However the high beams do work. When this occurs it persists both when stationary or in motion. The low beams will intermittently and momentarily turn on, later the "high beam" indicator will illuminate that the low beams off again. No reason. I cannot drive at dusk or at night due to the issue of never knowing if the low beams will work...

The headlight housings have hazed over. This condition has severly limited the light output of the headlights. The vehicle is well maintained and the manufacturer contends that this is normal wear on the headlight. *Js I find it hard to believe that they intended the light output to diminish over time to the point where the headlight housings restrict light output below minimum lumen.Output

I am the owner of a 2002 mazda mpv with approximately 36,000 miles . On the evening of february 16, 2011 while driving home with my daughter in the car the right fog light started a fire in the bumper. There was a recall issued for this many years ago for this exact problem. At the time of the recall, I did bring my car in and supposedly the problem was corrected. However, given what has occurred last night I strongly believe that the problem was not corrected, despite what the records with mazda say. I feel...

There is an occasional short in the headlight switch in my 2001 mazda mpv dx which results in the headlights not working unless I disassemble and clean the contacts. This has happened several times while driving the van and I now have to carry tools to fix it at any given time. We also try to avoid driving at night because of it. The plastic around them are burned and melted which is what caused the smoke. Tonight when we were driving home the smell was there again as well as quite a bit of heat when you feel the...

2002 Mazda mpv lx caught on fire due to the driver's side fog light on 8/26/03. We had responded to a recall put out by mazda and took our van to first team mazda in chesapeake, va this past june 2003. We had the recall work done and actually had a problem with the passenger side fog light being dislodged whenever we took it in . As far as we knew, the problems were corrected. At any rate, we are now concerned with the safety issue of these fog lights. When we contacted mazda customer service, we were told that...

Consumer states while driving 70 mph the head lights went out. Mr

Instrument panel lights flicker,increase in brightness,and get dim. This ocurs when the air conditioner or heater is in use at night with the usual night driving lights are on.*Ak

When we purchased this vehicle we noticed for no apparent reason lights would come,transmission went out before expected,even when replaced brakes would make a grinding noise.After talking to many people,we found out that mpv vans for several years have these same type problems*ak

Headlights would turn on by themselves overnight or by daylight. Technician could not find what was causing this problem.*Ak

My dealer and repair shop say they have seen several cases of this switch failure. It causes the headlights to come on by themselves. Must be a defect in the switch assembly that mazda is aware of. Mazda should cover the repair. *Ak

Headlights sporadically turn on. Engine may be off or on, and the headlights would automatically turn on. Vehicle was taken to dealer, and dealer stated that the problem has been occurring to numerous vehicles of same make/model and year.

Headlights will not stay on dim with the switch in the proper position. The lights will go from low beam to high beam if vehicle hits any bump in the road or for no apparent reason. *Ak
