You do not have miata's listed in your complaint fields- this complaint is for miata. Also, fog lights have been replaced several times after recall was performed- recall did more damage than good.”
NHTSA complaint #10110167, filed 2005-02, 300 miles“From the day I drove my new 2002 mpv home the transmission mis-shifted and bucked.

After 3 months the problem persisted and began stalling at lights. I took the car in and they said they could find no problem. When I asked them what they needed to repair the problem they said that there were no computer upgrades for the transmission and I would have to wait until there were. A year passed and it continued to buck and stall. …”
