NHTSA Complaint #11128161 — 2007 MAZDA MX-5

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY FEW WEEKS, VARIOUS OBD CODES: P0455, P2402, P2407. THIS MODEL HAS A KNOW EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEM. SELLING DEALER REPLACED FILLER CAP TWICE AND A PURGE VALVE BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP CLOSED. SOME FILLER PIPES ARE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. OTHER DEALERS ARE NOT INTERESTED WITHOUT CHARGING 3 FIGURE AMOUNTS FOR 'DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO MAZDA, THEY REFER ME TO A DEALER, DEALER WANTS BIG BUCKS TO 'DIAGNOSE' A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH I'M NOT WILLING TO PAY. I JUST WANT THE DEFECTIVE CAR FIXED. IT HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON PERHAPS 50 TIMES. I ALSO COMPLAINED TO THE SELLING DEALER ABOUT THE CLUTCH BEING HARD TO DISENGAGE, AND WAS TOLD "IT WAS NORMAL." I FIND TODAY THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THAT SAME ISSUE.
