1992 MAZDA MPV Engine And Engine Coolingenginegasoline Problems

WITH THIS VAN THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS INCIDENTS SINCE AUGUST OF 1993. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS A TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THE VAN WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR 3 MONTHS WHILE THEY DALLIED AROUND TO FIX IT. I HAD IT TAKEN TO NORTHTOWNE MAZDA AND IT TOOK THEM A WEEK TO FIX IT. THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS A CONSTANT BREAKAGE OF THE LITTLE PIN THAT SHIFTS THE GEARS. THE THING BREAKS CONSTANTLY AND CAUSES THE GEAR DIAL LETTERS TO BE OFF BY ONE LETTER FOR INSTANCE THE R FOR REVERSE IS D FOR DRIVE. THE NEXT PROBLEM WAS A GAS LEAK THAT I TOOK IN TO HAVE FIXED THREE TIMES BEFORE IT WAS FINALLY FOUND. I WAS TOLD ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THAT IT WAS JUST EXHAUST AND THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FOUND. I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO MEMPHIS AND LIKED TO GAS MYSELF TO DEATH FROM...

TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REBUILT, UNDER THE WARRENTY, AFTER I MOVED TO OHIO, FOR A NEW JOB, THE WARRENTY HAD RUN OUT, AND I NEEDED TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED, BUT I NEVER PROCEEDED WITHA COMPLAINT AT THAT TIME

MAZDA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIPER ARM-IT QUIT DURING MY COMMUTE DURING A HARD RAIN. IT POSED A VERY REAL DANGER. REGARDING THE ENGINE: MAZDA KNOWS THERE IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND IT HAS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX...I NOW OWN A 2ND MPV ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME HLA PROBLEM WITH THIS SECOND VAN. NOW I KNOW IT'S AN INHERENT PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMER IS HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS VERY EXPENSIVE FIX.

THE ENGINE IS MAKING A LOUD TKICKING NOISE.THE CONSUMER STATES THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO GO OUT DUE TO DEFECTIVE ENGINE LIFTERS. *AK PISTON RING, HEAD GASKETAND ROCKER ARM FAILED. *YH
