1993 MAZDA RX-7 Engine And Engine Coolingcooling System Problems

THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NHTSA#94-V-094-000 ON MAY 1997 ON THE RADIATOR CAP PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE. THE RELEASE PRESSURE WAS SET TOO HIGH WHICH COULD CAUSE THE COOLANT TO REACH TEMPERATURES THAT EXCEED THERMAL DESIGN LIMITS OF SOME COMPONENTS OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM. SHOULD THIS OCCUR THE ENGINE COOLANT COULD LEAK DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. THE CONSUMER STATED THIS RECALL FAILED. *NLM THE RECALL WAS PARTIALLY COMPLETED. BOTH REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE COOLING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE WATER PUMP WHICH WAS NOT DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE LOST THE WATER PUMP ON THE ROAD. *SCC *JB

3.8L ENGINE WOULD CONTINUALLY OVERHEAT WHILE DRIVING. DEALER CONTACTED. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFROMATIO INFORMATION.*AK

VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO LEAKING ENGINE COOLANT AND GAS LINE.

RECALL SITE SHOWS 3 RECALLS FOR 93 MAZDA RX7. ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM RECALL SAYS "MANUFACTURED FROM DEC 1991 TO JAN 1994". MY RX7 WAS MANU FEB 1992 AND I FEEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. MAZDA HOWEVER STATES THAT THERE IS ONLY 2 RECALLS ON MY CAR. THIS IS MY 2ND RX7. THE FIRST ONE I HAD WAS MANUFACTURED MARCH 1992, ONE MONTH AFTER THIS CURRENT ONE. IT WAS EXACT SAME CAR. IT WAS RECALLED FOR ALL 3 SHOWING IN THE RECALL DATABASE. SO WHAT DO I DO? MAZDA SAYS THE COOLING SYSTEM IS NOT A RECALL ITEM FOR MY CAR. I DISAGREE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I'M WRITING TO WRONG PLACE FOR WHAT I NEED. THANKS. *AK

FAILURE OF COOLING SYSTEM TO DRAW BACK COOLANT FROM THE OVERFLOW BOTTLE WHEN THE ENGINE COOLS CAUSING LOW COOLANT LEVEL IN ENGINE UPON SUBSEQUENT STARTUP. LARGE PUDDLE OF COOLANT FORMS UNDER VEHICLE.

FAILURE OF INTERNAL WATER SEAL IN ENGINE, RESULTING IN LOSS OF COOLANT WITH SUBSEQUENT OVERHEATING OF ENGINE.
