Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“With this van there have been numerous incidents since august of 1993. The first problem was a ticking noise in the engine. The van was out of service for 3 months while they dallied around to fix it. I had it taken to northtowne Mazda and it took them a week to fix it. The second problem was a constant breakage of the little pin that shifts the gears. The thing breaks constantly and causes the gear dial letters to be off by one letter for instance the r for reverse is d for drive. The next problem was a gas leak that I took in to have fixed three times before it was finally found. …”
