FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
I PURCHASED A 97 MAZDA MILLENNIA IN 8/97 WITH 29K MILES. TODAY IT IS AT 77K MILES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK HAS STARTED IMPLODING DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF SUCTION IN THE TANK. THE SUCTION HAS ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE FUEL LEVEL SENSORS. THE QUOTED REPAIR PRICE WAS $1,800. THE SERVICE REP INFORMED ME THAT MAZDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED AN ADVISORY TO MECHANICS TO NOT ONLY CHECK THE FUEL GAUGE BUT ALSO THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS NOT CURRENTLY A RECALL ITEM OR A DEFECT BUT SHOULD BE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL CASES OF OTHER MILLENNIA OWNERS WITH SAME MODEL YEAR EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPAIRS SHOULD BE AT MAZDA'S EXPENSE SINCE THE SUCTION IN THE TANK IS TOO HIGH OR THE FUEL TANK ITSELF IS NOT STRUCTURALLY CAPABLE OF HANDLING THE PRESSURE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL/DEFECT NOTICE SO THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE FIXED. *NLM

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE OWN A 2000 MAZDA MILLENIA THAT STALLS AT ABOUT 50 MPH AND HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR SERVICING NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED. THE CAR HAS SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS: KEYLESS ENTRY DOES NOT WORK, HEATED SEATS DO NOT WORK, AIR CONDITIONER DOES NOT WORK; HOWEVER, NONE OF THESE POSE A SAFETY PROBLEM LIKE THE STALLING. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A RECURRING TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON MY MAZDA MELLENIA 2000. WHILE DRIVING ,THE CAR WILL DOWN SHIFT RAPIDLY AND CAUSE A QUICK DECREASE IN OPERATING SPEED. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE "HOLD" LIGHT WILL BEGIN TO FLASH AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE CAR IS BROUGHT TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM. I AM FORCED TO OPERATE A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE DUE TO THIS RAPID DECELERATION. *JB

STEERING
THE POWER TILT STEERING WHEEL HAS FAILED AND WILL NO LONGER OPERATE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY DEFECT, AS THE WHEEL IS STUCK IN AN EXTREMELY UPRIGHT POSITION AND WILL NOT COME DOWN, MAKING THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER SAFELY. FROM MY RESEARCH ON THIS SITE AND OTHERS, AS WELL AS CALLS TO 5 DIFFERENT MAZDA DEALERSHIPS, THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM. IN FACT, ACCORDING TO ONE DEALER, THE PROBLEM IS SO COMMON THAT MAZDA HAS BEGUN OFFERING A SPECIAL REPAIR KIT THAT JUST INCLUDES THE DEFECTIVE ACTUATOR RATHER THAN THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. IT IS MY VIEW THAT THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED DEFECT THAT MAZDA SHOULD COVER UNDER A SPECIAL SERVICE PROGRAM OR BY RECALL. *JB

POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE:BODY, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING 40 - 50 MPH, VEHICLE HESITATED AND JERKED BACK AND FORTH. THE VEHICLE JERKED WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. DELAYED SHIFTS WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS. THERE WAS ALSO A GRINDING NOISE. DEALER REMOVED AND REPLACED DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER NOISE AND JERKING STILL PERSISTED. ALSO THE TRUNK RELEASE AND FUEL BUTTON WERE INOPERATIVE. THE DOOR MOLDING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER WANTED TO REPLACE THE O2 SENSOR AND SOLENOID AND THE DOOR PANEL, TRUNK RELEASE AND FUEL BUTTON WERE STILL INOPERATIVE AFTER BEING REPLACED. CONSUMER NEVER RECEIVED CALL BACK REGARDING PARTS. VEHICLE WAS TRADED IN. *TT *JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY 98 MAZDA MILLENNIUM. WAS 1 MONTH AFTER WE BROUGHT IT "MAY 2001". THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON THE CAR, THEY PUT AN NEW TRANSMISSION IN. NOW FOR THE SECOND TIME "MARCH 2003" THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP AGAIN, AFTER SHIFTING INTO SECOND GEAR IT WILL NOT GO INTO THIRD GEAR CAUSING THE CAR TO JERK AND REDLINE. SINCE I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR I HAVE COME INTO CONTACT WITH ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS OUT OF THIS CAR. IF MAZDA KNOWS THAT THESE CARS ARE HAVING THESE KINDS OF PROBLEM WHY ARE THEY STILL SELLING THEM. I'M AFRAID TO PUT MY DAUGHTER IN THIS CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. AND I AM GETTING NO HELP FROM THE PLACE WHERE I BROUGHT THE CAR EXCEPT WE'LL PUT A NEW ONE IN. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? WHEN SOMEONE GETS HURT AR KILLED? PEOPLE PLEASE DO RESEARCH ON ALL THE CARS THAT YOU PURCHASE. *NLM
