ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THE ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON SPORADICALLY EVERY TIME WE CHECK IT OUT IT GOES BACK OUT THEN THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON WE HAD THE OIL REPLACED THEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF WE THEN TOOK THE CAR TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THE HEADER BROKE COMPLETELY OFF THE CAMSHAFT AND IT WOULD BE $5,000 TO FIX OUR WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED BY 42 DAYS AND THEY REFUSED TO HONOR AN EXTENSION AND TOLD US TO PAY OR TAKE THE CAR OFF THE PREMISES. I CONTACTED THE MAZDA WARRANTY DEPT WHO REFUSED TO EXTEND IT AND I ALSO SPOKE WITH THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR WHO SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO ABOUT IT. EVEN THE ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE HANDLING MY FINANCE ACCOUNT COULD DO NOTHING TO HELP. THIS CAR IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD AND WE ONLY HAD IT FOR 13 MONTHS WITH ONLY ONE PRIOR OWNER DAMAGE OF THIS CALIBER WITHOUT HAVING BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IS A BIT EXTREME. OTHER MAZDA OWNER HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM SEEMS LIKE AN ENGINE DEFECT.

SUSPENSION
I WAS ADVISED THAT THE CV AXLE BOOT WAS STARTING TO CRACK AND THAT REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO AVOID AXLE PROBLEMS. I IMMEDIATELY HAD THE BOOTS REPLACED. A SHORT TIME LATER, I STARTED EXPERIENCING A VIBRATING/SHAKING IN THE FRONT END THAT RESEMBLED A "FLAT TIRE". AFTER BEING CHARGED A $50.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE LEFT AND RIGHT AXLE SHAFTS NEEDED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 80,000 MILES AND FOR AN AUTOMOBILE OF THIS TYPE, THIS TYPE OF FAILURE DID NOT SEEM NORMAL. AT MY REQUEST, I WAS GIVEN THE PARTS REMOVED AND HAVE THEM AVAILABLE FOR EXAMINATION. I WROTE TO MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE REPAIRS AND CORRESPONDENCE TOOK PLACE IN OCT. & NOV. 1998. I RECENTLY READ IN CONSUMER REPORTS THAT YOU MAINTAIN A DATABASE OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND DECIDED I NEEDED TO DOCUMENT MY PROBLEM. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION OR WOULD LIKE TO EXAMINE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THANK YOU. JEAN CALDERWOOD
