Consumer Description

JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FOR MY MOM AS A PRESENT BECAUSE SHE HAS WANTED ONE SINCE THEY CAME OUT. IT HAS 81,000 MILES ON IT. THE VVT HAS GONE OUT, THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACED AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE ENGINE IS SHOT BECAUSE OF THE SLUDGE AND THE NEGLECTED CARE TO THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED SO I DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WAS CARED FOR PREVIOUSLY, BUT SINCE WE HAVE HAD IT, IT HAS BEEN CARED FOR MAGNIFICENTLY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS CONSUMER REPORTS WHICH STATED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS IM HAVING. I'M GETTING QUOTED OVER $7,500 TO FIX THE VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS AGO. MAZDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. *TR
