Example complaints

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

“Starting in 06/04 whenever one of my children sits in the rear driver side passanger seat they become sick complaining of feeling sick in the stomach and crying. My youngest has vomited. We have had the Mazda MPV 2002 for two years in september and have never had this problem. These children have never complained of feeling sick in the car before. If we keep all the windows down they don't get sick. We took the care to the dealership and they tested it for fumes saying they found nothing.”
