“I purchased an Mazda MPV in 2007 from a chevy dealership who said it was in good working condition. It was a 2000 model. As soon as winter came the o2 sensor on the rear bank went out. Paid $400.00 to the dealership to replace. It lasted only a short time. The dealership told me it should last 100.000 miles, so they replaced it and only charged me another $400.00. To date I have had the o2 sensor replaced a total of four times. The last two times it was at a Mazda dealership. They also told me it should last 100,000 miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #10396576, filed 2011-04, 97,000 miles“We have a 2000 Mazda MPV van. My wife said that the engine was making a loud roaring noise. I found a Mazda MPV site that indicated as subject -fog horn/moaning noise from engine compartment...which may occur when engine is half-warmed up or in deceleration. Site calls for iac valve with a modified part to be repaired. I asked the Mazda dealership about a possible recall. They were quick, and I mean quick to say that there are none. I mentioned that there are two other recalls documented on the consumer reports website. …”
NHTSA complaint #10153340, filed 2006-03, 50,000 miles“I have a Mazda MPV 2000, the check engine light came on and I took it in for service on 2/13/03. I was told that the MPV required a new oxygen sensor but it would be 3 to 4 weeks due to a back order. I was told by the dealer that I could drive the car and it would harm nothing. On feb 20th, I drove 3/4 mile from home when the MPV died with the check engine light, oil light and battery light all on. The MPV was towed to the Mazda dealership, they called me and said the engine was ceased.”
NHTSA complaint #10008353, filed 2003-03, 38,074 miles“Van started running rough at stoplights and at low speed. Check engine light came on a day later. Mechanic told us that the left exhaust manifold was cracked and needed to be replaced. This failure causes a co leak into the passenger cabin. Mechanic said this should not happen on an engine with 83,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10104532, filed 2004-12, 83,000 miles“In the operation of my 2000 Mazda MPV there is a loud humming noise that emits from engine compartment and when making turns engine shuts down periodically thus resulting in failure to operate.”
