VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. WE'VE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE'VE HAD THE SWITCH REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THAT HAS NEVER SOLVED THE PROBLEM. SINCE WE ONLY USE WIPERS WHEN IT RAINS, THE FAILURE HAS CAUSES A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I BEEN IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED, ONE WHEN A TRACTOR TRAILER SPRAYED MY WINDSHEILD AND I COULDN'T SEE. MAZDA HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO VOLUNTARILY INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE DETAIL. AS A RESULT, WE'VE CONTINUALLY HAD TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE SHOP FOR REPAIR. WE CURRENTLY HAVE THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT MAZDA WILL JUST REPLACE THE SWITCH, COLLECT THEIR MONEY, AND SEND US ON OUR WAY. FROM PAST EXPERIENCE, REPLACING THE SWITCH HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. AS THE RAINY SEASON APPROACHES, I HOPE THIS MATTER CAN BE RESOLVE BEFORE A WIPER FAILURE CAUSES A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH. *AK

TIRES
THE LEFT REAR TIRE ON THE PICK-UP WENT FLAT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON FM623 NEAR PETTUS, TX. I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 55 MPH AT THE TIME. I NOTICED A PRONOUNCED REDUCTION IN POWER AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. I CHANGED THE TIRE AND TOOK IT TO 2 PLACES IN BEEVILLE FOR REPAIR. BOTH ESTABLISHMENTS ADVISED ME TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AS A TIRE FAILURE THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THE TIRE HAS A LITTLE MORE THAN 3000 MILES ON IT.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W21111 TIRESIZE: P22570R15/)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
THE MAIN COMPUTER WAS BURNING UP COMPUTER WITHOUT ANY ASSIGNABLE CAUSE. THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF WHILE RUNNING. THIS VERY DANGEROUS. I STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM 6 YEARS AGO, I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS NOT COMPLETELY WARM UP THATS WHY IT WAS KIND OF STALLING WHILE RUNNING. NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, BECAUSE THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF MAZDA B2200 OUT THERE EVERYDAY. MY BROTHER IN LAW HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS MIND. AND SOME MAZDA MECHANIC ADMITTED THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON FOR SOME MAZDA B2200 PICK UP TRUCK, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS ISSUE WAS UNREPORTED.
