NHTSA complaint #10498330, filed 2013-02, 40,000 miles“We own a 2005 Mazda MPV. Four years after purchasing, the vehicle started to shake continuously and the check engine light turned on. Also when going uphill it almost can' t make it to the top. After taking it to the mechanic it turns out the engine was misfiring due a bad ignition coil. We replaced the coil. A few weeks later it started doing it again. This time we changed the six ignition coils. A few weeks later it started again with the same problem but not as bad as it was before. We kept using the vehicle like that, for a short period of time. …”
