Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING MY MAZDA ( WITH A TURBO ENGINE) ALONG THE HIGHWAY IT BEGAN TO DECELERATE ON ITS OWN AND MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING/GRINDING NOISE. IT STOPPED ON THE ROAD GOING UP A HILL WITH NO TURNOUTS. SO IT APPEARS THAT THE TURBO BLEW UP. IT WILL START, BUT I CANNOT GO ANYWHERE. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE GASKETS ON MY OIL FILTER HOUSING UNIT, AS THE STOCK GASKETS WERE FAULTY AND CAUSING A SEVERE OIL LEAK. ALSO, MY EMISSIONS REGULATION ( EGR) VALVE IS BAD AND THEREFORE WILL NOT PASS SMOG. EACH OF THESE ISSUES I AM SEEING MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE. MAZDA HAS MADE A HORRIBLY DEFECTIVE CAR AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT TO CLAIM OWNER NEGLIGENCE. I BOUGHT MY CAR WITH 40K MILES ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN FALLING APART FROM THE START. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE AND THIS IS NOT OWNER NEGLIGENCE, IT IS MAZDA NEGLIGENCE AND REFUSAL TO MAKE ANYTHING RIGHT ON THEIR COMPLETELY DEFECTIVE VEHICLES. *TR
