FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL ASSEMBLY TWICE ON MY 1994 MAZDA B-3000 DUE TO LEAKING FUEL AND PAID $400.00 EACH OCCURENCE SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM THE DEALER. I TOOK NOTE OF RECALL NUMBER 94V111002 AND MAZDA STATES MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH. MY TRUCK SPECIFICATIONS MATCH AS MUCH AS I CAN TELL AND I WOULD APPRECIATE A DETAILED EXPLANATION. THANK YOU. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
MY TRUCK A 1994 MAZDA B-4000 4X4 LOST BRAKES AT 40 TO 45 MPH. I ENEDED UP DITCHING THE TRUCK TO AVOID HITTING A SCHOOLBUS THAT WAS LETTING OFF CHILDEREN A STOP. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD AND MAZDA. THE PROBLEM WAS WHERE THE RUBBER BRAKE LINE AND STEAL BRAKELINE COME TOGETHER BLEW APART. THE RESULT IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES

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

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH
THE BRAKE SWITCH HAS FAILED 3 TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE. THIS FAILURE RESULTS IN NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THE SWITCH HAS BEEN REPLACED BY MAZDA ON 5/29/97 AND 6/30/00. IT WAS REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME BY ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP ON 7/16/01. I BELIEVE THIS HIGH RATE OF FAILURE NEEDS TO ADDRESSED BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO HAVE BREAK LIGHTS.*AK

TIRES
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING TO THIS COMPLAINT, BUT IN VIEW OF THE FIRESTONE TIRE RECALL (ON WILDERNESS P23575R15 TIRES - DOT VD), I THOUGHT I'D PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME INPUT ON THIS TIRE PROBLEM EPISODE. I SUSPECT THAT YOU LOOK FOR TRENDS...IF FOLKS DON'T LET YOU KNOW ABOUT SOMETHING, THEN THE STATISTICS ARE NEVER DEVELOPED FOR SOMETHING THAT WOULD OTHERWISE GO UNNOTICED. APPROX. 1/4 OF THE FACE OF 1 OF MY TRUCK'S TIRES PEELED AWAY...THE TIRE APPEARS TO HAVE GOOD TREAD. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE P/U. THE TRUCK CAME WITH THE TIRES THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THIS QUESTIONNAIRE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MILES WERE ON THE TIRES UPON PURCHASING IT, BUT THEY APPEARED TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE AS I ASSUMED OWNERSHIP. THE TIRE THAT APPEARS TO BE DEFECTIVE IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR EXPERTS TO REVIEW IF YOU SO DESIRE. THANKS FOR THE TIME THAT YOU MIGHT DEVOTE TO THIS REPORT. GERY M. DUPARC, LCDR, USPHS. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W2FC1M9404 TIRESIZE: P22570R14)
