SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
WHEN PULLED OUT MANUALLY, THE SEAT BELT FOLDS OVER UPON ITSELF WHEN PASSING THROUGH THE SHOULDER LOOP AND THE BELT JAMS AND STOPS MOVING. THEREFORE, THE SHOULDER/LAP BELT CAN NOT BE LATCHED INTO THE BUCKLE. I HAVE CALLED MAZDA MOTORS USA AT IRVINE CA AT 800-222-5500 TO INFORM THEM OF THE PROBLEM. THEY REFUSE TO TAKE ANY ACTION TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM WHICH I BELIEVE IS CAUSED BY EITHER MAKING THE BELT TOO THIN (WHICH CAUSES IT TO FOLD OVER ON ITSELF WHEN PASSING THROUGH THE LOOP) OR THE CONFIGURATION OF THE PLASTIC SHOULDER LOOP SLOT ITSELF (WHICH IS NOT THE PROPER SIZED OPENING) IS NOT CORRECTLY SIZED TO ALLOW THE BELT MATERIAL TO PASS SMOOTHLY AND UNHINDERED THROUGH THE PLASTIC SHOULDER LOOP. THIS FAILURE OF THE MANUAL BELT MECHANISM TO PASS THROUGH THE SHOULDER LOOP MAY CAUSE THE DRIVER NOT TO BUCKLE UP THE SAFETY BELT. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE DEATH OF THE OCCUPANT IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE COLLISION. YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED OF THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY SAFETY ISSUE WITH REGARD TO SAFETY BELTS. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ENGINE GASKETS DISINTERGRATED ALLOWING OIL INTO GAPS ON SPARK PLUGS THUS PREVENTING SEVERAL CYLINDERS FROM FIRING. AUTOMOBILE DID NOT RESPOND AS IT SHOULD HAVE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, WHICH CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. EVEN MAZDA'S MECHANICS THINK THAT MAZDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AT 81,100 MILES THE ENGINE"CHECK LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR AT $700.00 WHICH I DID. LESS THAN 300 MI LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THE WHOLE COMPUTER WAS FAILING & NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT $1600.00. SINCE MY CAR HAS MUCH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES, I FEEL THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD BE COVERED BY A WARRANTY.*AK
