TWO INCIDENTS OF ENGINE FAILURE WITHIN 2 MILES OF HOME. BOTH OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. TRUCK EXPERIENCES WIDE EXCURSIONS IN RPMS, ACCOMPANIED BY BY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DOWNWARD SWINGS. WITHIN 5 TO 8 SECONDS ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART IMMEDIATELY AFTER INCIDENT FAIL. CRANKING OF ENGINE IS NORMAL, HOWEVER NO START.

#755406December 7, 2001
SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
BACK OF DRIVER'S SEAT COLLAPSED WHILE DRIVING WITHIN 4 BLOCKS OF HOME, THROWING ME SUDDENLY BACKWARD TO A HORIZONTAL POSITION. I LOST CONTROL MOMENTARILY BUT VERY CAREFULLY DROVE HOME, WHICH WAS VERY DANGEROUS WITHOUT THE BACK SUPPORT, PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT FOR BRAKING AND LOSS OF SEAT BELT SHOULDER STRAP.I HAVE RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE ON THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL THAT THE SET SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO LAST AT LEAST TWICE AS LONG. I HAVE NEVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WITH EVEN MUCH OLDER CARS THAN THIS MAZDA. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THERE IS ONLY A THREE YEAR WARRANTY ON THE SEAT, WHICH I THINK IS UNREASONABLE FOR A STRUCTURAL DEFECT THAT COMPROMISES DRIVER SAFETY.*AK

PARKING BRAKE:INDICATOR LIGHT
THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LINES ARE CROSSED AHEAD OF THE REAR DRIVERS TIRE. THERE IS A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THESE LINES AND THEY ARE RUBBING TOGETHER CAUSING A GREAT DEAL OF WEAR. I HAVE NOTICED THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER MAZDA B SERIES AND FORD RANGER PICKUPS. I HAVE PLACED A PIECE OF RUBBER BETWEEN THE LINES TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE. I BELIEVE THAT THE EMERGENCY LINES ON THE MAZDA AND FORD RANGER PICKUPS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE THEY FAIL AND CAUSE INJURIES.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
THE DRIVETRAIN OF MY TRUCK SEEMS TO HAVE SLACK IN IT. WHEN I SLOW TO A STOP IT "CLUNKS". WHEN I ACCELERATE AWAY FROM A STOP IT "CLUNKS" BACK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I TOOK IT TO DIAMNOD MAZDA AND THEY CHANGED PART OF THE DRIVE SHAFT AND THAT CORRECTED IT FOR A FEW WEEKS BUT IT IS BACK TO DOING IT NOW. I CALLED BACK AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT? I CONTACTED MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY SAID THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT HAVE A FIX. THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO BE TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WOULD GIVE THEM BACK THE TRUCK UNDER THE LEMON LAW SINCE IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND IT IS NOT RESOLVED BUT THE LAWS IN LOUISIANA ARE NOT IN MY BEST INTEREST.
