Consumer Description

I HAVE WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY TAILPIPE WHEN IT IDLES. I ALSO HAVE A BURNING OIL SMELL IN MY CAR. I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS WHEN I GET INTO MY CAR. I HAVE A 2 1/2 YEAR OLD AND I CANT IMAGINE ITS SAFE FOR HER TO BREATH THIS IN. I TOOK IT TO GREEN MAZDA IN SPRINGFIELD IL TO BE REPAIRED, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THEY INSTALLED A VENTILATION KIT. THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT BACK AND NOW THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. SO THEY SAW A PROBLEM AND INSTALLED A VENTILATION KIT BUT NOW THAT IS DOING THE SAME THING THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. THE NEXT STEP IS TO REPLACE THE TURBO, WHICH THEY WILL NOT DO. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR
