THE TIMING CHAIN HAS BROKE TWICE. IN JUN 1999 AND AGAIN IN OCT 2000. BOTH TIMES WE WERE AWAY FROM HOME AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MAZDA AT OUR EXPENSE. TO CARS ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON AND MAZDA SAYS ITS THE EXHAUST/CATALICTIC CONVERTER. WE FIXED THE CONVERTER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE CAR SHAKES. MAZDA REFUSES TO FIX THE ENGINE. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY EVEN SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH A NEW ONE BUT MAZDA REFUSED THAT ALSO. MAZDA WILL NOT FIX THIS CAR AND UNITL THEY DO WE DON'T DRIVE IT FOR LONG DISTANCES. WE CAN NOT EVEN SELL IT UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED.
