Consumer Description

DURING A SHORT DRIVE ON A 2 LANE ROAD, IN THE EVENING, DURING A SNOWSTORM, THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE, HAD A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE, WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR IMPENDING INDICATION. THERE WAS TOTAL & SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT (EVER) RESTART & NEEDED TO BE TOWED AWAY. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE ENTIRE DISTRIBUTOR ASSY. & SAYING IT IS A 'COMMON FAILURE' WITH THIS SERIES OF MAZDA VEHICLES. THIS IS A VERY SIMILIAR PRODUCT AS THE FORD PROBE, WHICH ALSO WAS RECALLED FOR IGNITION PROBLEMS. SHOULD THE DOMESTIC MADE MAZDA'S HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE FORD RECALL? IN URBAN DRIVING SITUATIONS & UNDER NIGHTTIME CONDITIONS, THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.*AK
