Consumer Description

DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY FROM CHICAGO TO WISCONSIN I NOTICED A KNOCK IN MY ENGINE THAT TURNED INTO 2 THROWN PISTONS THROUGH MY ENGINE BLOCK. I WORK FOR A CRASH TEST FACILITY. CARS ARE A DAILY COMPONENT IN MY LIFE. THE ENGINE HAD 45,000 MILES ON IT AND MAZDA REJECTED MY WARRANTY CLAIM. I ENDED UP SETTLING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND TRANSFERRING MY LOAN TO A USED CAR. I WANTED TO POST THIS OCCURRENCE OF ENGINE FAILURE TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T A COMMON OCCURRENCE. *TR
