Consumer Description

VEHICLE: 2001 MAZDA PROTEGE LX 2.0 LITER ENGINE FAILURE: KEY IS INSERTED IN IGNITION AND TURNED, STARTER WILL TURN OVER BUT ENGINE WILL NOT START. OCCURRENCE: INTERMITTENTLY, 3 TIMES IN 2 MONTHS. SERVICE: HAD IT TOWED EACH TIME TO A CERTIFIED MAZDA DEALERSHIP. FIRST TIME - THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION COILS WITH ANOTHER VEHICLES COILS AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEY PUT THE ORIGINAL COILS BACK IN AND IT STARTED UP FINE. SECOND TIME - THEY REPLACED THE PCM THIRD TIME - HAD IT TOWED TO A DIFFERENT MAZDA DEALERSHIP. AFTER TOWING, THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT REGULAR INTERVALS AS RECOMMENDED BY MAZDA SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW 6 YEARS AGO. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MAZDA CORPORATION TO CHECK FOR RECALLS OR KNOWN ISSUES AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NONE FOR MY VEHICLE. AFTER EXPLAINING MY PROBLEM TO THEM, I WAS GIVEN NO SUGGESTIONS FOR RECOURSE. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, BUT LEAVES ME WITH AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE. *TR
