Consumer Description

(MARCH/2011) LIGHT CAME ON AROUND 65K MILES. TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID OIL WAS LOW AND YVT NEEDED REPLACING. COST WAS AROUND 2500. NO REASON WHY OIL WAS LOW AND LAST CHANGED BY MAZDA LESS THAN 7500 MILES BEFORE. ALSO FULL SERVICE WAS DONE AT THAT TIME. (JUNE/2011)WHILE ON HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION, EMITTED HIGH PITCH WHIRRING. AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND IT IS BEING BLAMED ON BAD TURBO. NO REASONING BEHIND FAILURE OTHER THAN SAYING OIL CHANGE ISSUES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MAZDA IS THE ONLY ENTITY THAT HAS EVER WORKED ON THIS CAR AT LEAST TWICE PER YEAR FOR CHECK UPS. THERE ALSO APPEARS TO BE OTHERS WITH SAME REPORTED PROBLEMS TO BOTH TURBO AND YVT. *TR
