Consumer Description

PASSENGER CABIN CONTINUES TO GET FUEL FUMES AT RESTART. UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND THAT NEW GASKETS ARE IN THE WORKS TO CORRECT. WE EXPECT DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE OLD ONES WITH NEW GASKETS WHEN AVAILABLE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON TWICE IN FIRST 2000 MILES. BOTH TIMES WE WERE TOLD THAT GAS CAP WAS OPENED WHEN VEHICLE WAS TURNED ON. THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE AND WE CONTINUE TO ARGUE OVER THIS. WE REFUSE TO PAY THE RESET FEE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO BE TURNED OFF. WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT WAS CLEAR THAT MAZDA KNEW OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM AS THE SALEMAN WENT OUT OF HER WAY TO EXPLAIN THAT THE CAP MUST BE TIGHT AT ALL TIMES. THIS WE HAVE DONE. DEALERSHIP CURRENTLY LOOKING AT VEHICLE FOR THIS SECOND CHECK ENGINE PROBLEM.*AK
