I CONTACTED HERITAGE MAZDA IN TOWSON MD TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXED. AFTER BEING TRANSFERRED 4 DIFFERENT TIMES, THE SERVICE WRITER INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT GET THE HARNESS TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A FEW YEARS. I CONTACTED MAZDA CORPORATE DIRECT AND WAS TOLD BY THEM THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I FEEL THAT HERITAGE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO DO THE FIX AND WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO WHY THEY WILL NOT FIX A RECALL ITEM FOR MY TRUCK?

THE ENTIRE FRAME RUSTED OUT FROM UNDER MY TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THE SPARE TIRE FELL AWAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK, RIPPING OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BUMPER. I HAVE BEEN TO NUMEROUS GARAGES ABOUT REPAIR AND NONE WILL TOUCH IT. THE SAY THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MAZDA TRUCK (AND SISTER TRUCK A FORD). THE BODY OF THE TRUCK IS STILL IN GREAT SHAPE. IT ONLY HAS 90600 MILES ON IT. THERE IS NOT ANY RUSTING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRUCK. EVERYTHING BUT THE FRAME WOULD RUN FOR ANOTHER 90000 MILE EASILY! I FEEL THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT IS SUCH A WASTE OF MONEY TO HAVE IT JUST ROT AWAY!

Jan 21, 2016

2001 - REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLES & BRACKETS ROT OFF THE FRAME. REPLACED BOTH. THE ENTIRE AREA OF THE FRAME WHERE THE BUMPER, LEAF SPRING, SPARE TIRE AND TRAILER HITCH ATTACH IS ALL EXTREMELY ROTTED. THE GARAGE WHERE REPAIRED MENTIONED TO KEEP CHECKING THE FRAME PERIODICALLY, AS IT MAY ROT FASTER THAN THEY CAN ESTIMATE. *TR

Mar 03, 2011

2008 - REAR LEAF SPRING SHACKLE ROTS OFF. REPLACED BOTH. 2009 - SHACKLE BRACKET FALLS OFF WITH ABOUT 6" OF THE FRAME WITH IT. MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO PERSONALLY WELD A PIECE OF METAL AND FABRICATE A NEW BRACKET. THE OTHER SIDE WILL FAIL SOON AS WELL. THE ENTIRE AREA OF THE FRAME WHERE THE BUMPER, LEAF SPRING, SPARE TIRE AND TRAILER HITCH ATTACH IS ALMOST GONE. THE WEIRD THING IS THAT THE BODY IS SOUND. THE BED IS NO MORE THAN AN INCH AWAY AND LOOKS NEW. *TR

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 MAZDA B4000 CAB PLUS. WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE CONTACT BEGAN TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HE THEN ENGAGED THE ELECTRONIC FOUR WHEEL DRIVE FUNCTION BUT THE FUNCTION FAILED TO ACTIVATE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO PURCHASE A NEW 4X4 CONTROL MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. KMJ

PARKED THE CAR IN THE GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT AND WHEN RETURNING TO THE CAR TO LEAVE, STARTED THE CAR, BACKED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND THEN PROCEEDED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND LEAVE. WHEN I DID, THE CAR KEPT GOING IN REVERSE. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, PARK, 2ND AND OVERDRIVE ALL WHICH THE CAR KEPT GOING IN REVERSE. FORTUNATELY, THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH NOR WERE THERE PEOPLE SURROUNDING THE CAR IMMEDIATELY THAT I COULD HAVE HIT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I LET THE CAR ROLL BACK IN TO A SPOT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I DID THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I LEFT THE CAR THERE UNTIL I GOT THE CAR TOWED THE NEXT MORNING. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID IT WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE CAR DID NOT ROLL AWAY OR SOMEONE STOLE IT BECAUSE WHILE IT WAS IN PARK, THE CAR COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN PUSHED AS HE DEMONSTRATED TO ME AND THE MECHANIC. THIS IS A 2001 CAR AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT. I HATE TO THINK ABOUT THE POSSIBLITY THAT I COULD HAVE STARTED TO DRIVE FORWARD ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR GO IN REVERSE AND HIT A PERSON OR CHILD. THIS FAULTY DEFECTY SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING DOES GET HURT. SINCE THEN, THE MECHANICE HAS FIXED IT AND WAS A FAULTY SHIFT CABLE THAT HE REPLACED AND FOR ME VERY COSTLY BUT NOT AS COSTLY AS THE INJURY TO SOMEONE IF THIS CAR WOULD HAVE BACKED IN TO THEM.*AK

IT HAS CUT OUT ON FOUR OCCASIONS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN NEUTRAL. THREE TIMES SITTING IN TRAFFIC WHERE THE DRIVER WAS UNAWARE UNTIL PUTTING VEHICLE IN GEAR TO TAKE OFF. THE OTHER OCCASION WAS WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN WITH THE CLUTCH IN AND SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NOT RUNNING. MAZDA HAS NO IDEA OF WHAT PROBLEM IS AND EXPECTS OWNER TO CONTINUE DRIVING UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. HAS BEEN TO DEALER THREE TIMES FOR CONDITION AND EXAMINED BY FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE. *AK

Jul 27, 2001

WHILE DRIVING 40 TO 50 MILES PER HOUR, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SHIFT GEARS (UP AND DOWN VIOLENTLY) LURCHING AND BUCKING. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE OVERDRIVE OFF-LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I PUSHED THE OVERDRIVE SWITCH REPEATEDLY WITHOUT RESULTS. I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND SHUT IT OFF AND THEN RESTARTED IT, AND THEN THE VEHICLE RESET. ERROR CODE P0741 BUT NO PROBLEM FOUND OR FIXED. DEALERS SERVICE INVOICE # MACS94327. TOLD, IF PROBLEM PERSIST WILL AT THAT TIME POSSIBLY NEED TCC SOLENOID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 MAZDA B3000 4X4 PICKUP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE, THE TECHNICIANS ADVISED HIM THAT THE FRAME AND THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. WHEN THE MAZDA WAS LIFTED TO REPAIR THE BRAKE LINE AND REPLACE THE BRAKES THE SPRING SHACKLES BROKE OFF DUE TO EXTREME RUST, COSTING AN ADDITIONAL $450. I THINK MAZDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE JUST AS TOYOTA RECALLED THEIR VEHICLES DUE TO EXTREME RUSTING. UPDATED 11/09/2011 *LN *TR
