ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I BOUGHT THIS 1995 MAZDA MILLENIA [XXX] IN MARCH. BY THE TIME I BOUGHT IT, THE ODOMETER READ 65000+. LATER ON BECAUSE I HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH IT, I ASKED THE REPAIR SHOP TO CHECK IT'S BACKGROUND FOR ME. THE CARFAX REPORT THEY FORWARDED TO ME SHOWED IN 2002 IT WAS ALREADY 185000. THE SHOP MANAGER TOLD ME THERE WERE TOO MANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND IT'S NOT WORTH FIXING. FROM MARCH TILL NOW, I'VE SPENT CLOSE TO $1000 TO FIX VARIOUS FAILURES ON THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 07/19/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I WILL GET THE REST OF THE TOTALS OF REPAIRS. I HAVE TO GET THEM FROM MY DAUGHTER. THE AIRBAGS BURST OPEN ON HER AFTER SHE HAD A BLOW OUT. SHE WAS SEVERLY BURNED WITH CHEMICAL IN THE BAGS. HER EYE WAS DAMAGED. SHE LOST TIME FROM HER JOB, 4 TEETH WERE DAMAGED. THANK GOD THERE WASN'T ANY TRAFFIC. THE TRAMA SHE WENT THROUGH WAS AWFUL. AND THERE'S NO TELLING IF HER FACE WILL BE SCARRED. SHE IS 20 AND TRYING TO MAKE IT ON HER OWN. SHOULDN'T CAR DEALERS KNOW IF THEY ARE SELLING RECALLS. SHOULDN'T THE MAZDA DEALER KNOW ABOUT THIS. WE TOOK IT TO A MAZDA DEALER FIRST. THE PRICE OF REPAIR IS OUTRAGEOUS. WHAT IS THE LAW ON RECALLS.
