#717899January 26, 2000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I JUST HAD MY 3RD TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE 1ST TIME WAS 9/94 AND THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT 10,150 MILES, 2ND TIME ON 12/93 AT 69,300 MILES AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY, 3RD TIME 1/2000 AT 128,000 MILES AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER REPLACED AT NO CHARGE THE FIRST TIME, MAZDA PAID FOR THE PART 2ND TIME AND I PAID THE LABOR; 3RD TIME MAZDA HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE REPAIR. I BELIEVE IT IS UNREASONABLE FOR A TRANSMISSION TO BE DEFECTIVE 3 TIMES IN 130,000 MILES. FURTHER, THERE ARE MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. SHOULD THIS BE A RECALL? A CLASS ACTION SUIT? YOUR ASSISTANCE IS APPRECIATED. *AK

#714213November 2, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS
TEN DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE ON 10/20/98, IT WAS BOUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SELLER THAT THERE WAS DEFINITELY AN EXCELLERATION PROBLEM THAT NEEDED IMMEDIATE REPAIRS. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE CAR AND AS SOON AS HE PROCEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE CAR WOULD HESITATE TO STOP (EVEN AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES). THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THAT IF IT CONTINUED I SHOULD GIVE THEM A CALL AND A MECHANIC WOULD TRY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I CALLED BACK TWO DAYS LATER AFTER ALMOST KILLING MYSELF, MY CHILDREN AND POSSIBLY SOMEONE ELSE. THEY FINALLY AGREED TO HAVE THEIR MECHANICS LOOK AT IT. WELL, THREE DAYS LATER I PICKED UP MY CAR AND THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTED. I GAVE CAR THE ANOTHER 2 MONTHS OF DRIVING WITH CAUTION, UNTIL ALMOST ANOTHER TRAGGIC ACCIDENT OCCURED. I THEN DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO THE MAZDA DEALER TO GET EXPERT HELP, AFTER SPENDING $1000 WITH THEM, THE PROBLEM REOCCURRED AFTER 2-1/2 MONTHS LATER. I THEN PROCEEDED TO CONTACT THE DEALER AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE ANYBODY COULD DO. I AM VERY DESPERATE FOR SOME HELP IN THIS MATTER, ALSO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIVES OF MYSELF AND CHILDREN AND OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BURUEA AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE FROM BOTH AGENCY'S. YOUR IMMEDIATE RESPONSE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS
