NHTSA Complaint #10148549 — 2003 MAZDA MAZDA6

MULTIPLE PROBLEMS FROM CAROUSEL MOTORS HIGHWAY 1 WEST, IOWA CITY IOWA 52246. 319-354-2550 WHILE CHANGING OIL THEY DISCONNECTED A HOSE WHICH ANOTHER DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIND AND REPAIR. WHILE TALKING THE CAR IN AND HAVING IT IN THEIR POSSESSION IT RECEIVED $3,000 DAMAGE. THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM IN OVER 20 DAYS. NEXT THEY PUT A FUSE BOX DOOR COVER ON UNDER WARRANTY. IN DOING SO THEY REMOVED THE SILL COVER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. WHEN THEY REPLACED THE SILL COVER THE DROVE THE LOCK DOWNS ON THE COVER THROUGH THE WIRING HARNESS. OBLIVIOUS TO WHAT THE HAD DONE THEY BLAMED ME FOR THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. CAROUSEL MOTORS SHOULD NOT HAVE A MAZDA FRANCHISE. IT IS NOT FOR THE SEEMINGLY OBVIOUS REASONS AS STATED BUT FOR THE FACT THAT A MR. PAT LINN THE GENERAL MANAGER FOR THE DEALERSHIP HAS CALLED MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT RAKING ME THROUGH THE DIRT TO MY MANAGER AT WORK TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ME TO MY BOSS. HE HAS TURNED THIS INTO A PERSONAL MATTER AND NOT A BUSINESS MATTER. IS THIS A REACTION OF AN ADULT? HIS OWNER NEEDS TO LOCK HIS HEALS TOGETHER, RELEASE HIM FROM HIS POSSITION, AND HAVE THE DEALERSHIP APPOLOGIZE FOR HIS MISUSE OF HIS POSITION. HARRASSMENT AND SLANDER ARE NOT AND WILL NOT BE TOLLERATED. PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO MAZDA . *AK
