“We do not feel that we should have to replace the fowlerers when it is part of the engine. The vehicle is still under 50,000 mile and the inservice date is 5-29-1998. Its only 3 months after the factory warranty. Whick means it was problay bad at the time it was still under warranty. We had only had it 2 weeks before we heard tapping coming from the engine,. We took it to rose city motors and they told us it was bad fowlers and Mazda said we should replace all fowlerers whick cost 1,500.00 dollars. They are will to only charge us half. We do not consider this as fair. …”
