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.
FAILED PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR DIAGNOSED BY LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP - PARTS AND LABOR NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO AGE OF CAR. PARTS/LABOR EXCEED $1600 FOR THE REPAIR. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS UNDER 60K MILES, AND RARELY HAS A PASSENGER-SEAT OCCUPANT (SO VERY LITTLE STRESS/WEAR ON THE SEAT) AND HAS HAD NO PHYSICAL OR WATER DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SIMILAR SCENARIO TO THE GM SKY/SOLSTICE VEHICLES - WHERE A LOW VOLUME SPECIALTY VEHICLE DOES NOT GARNER THE ATTENTION. REVIEWING MAZDA FORUMS SHOWS THAT THIS DEFECT IS NOT UNCOMMON, AND SHOULD BE RESEARCHED ON A PROBLEMS PER HUNDRED UNITS BASIS. MY GUESS IS THAT THE PPHU WOULD EXCEED THAT OF OTHER VEHICLES RECALLED FOR SIMILAR ISSUES.
