ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

29 complaints

THE ENGINE COILS HAVE FAILED 4 TIMES SINCE WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. LAST NIGHT WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE RAIN, KEY WORDS, IN THE RAIN IT STARTED AGAIN. I AM SURE AT LEAST ONE IF NOT TWO COILS WENT THIS TIME. JUST HAD A COIL AND ALL THE BOOTS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO PROTECT THE COILS AND KEEP THE MOISTURE OUT REPLACED IN FEBRUARY, 2012. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS. MAZDA IS WELL AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE EXCEPT TO STOP USING THIS SYSTEM AND START MAKING THEIR CARS DIFFERENTLY. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE OLDER MODELS? THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, AT NIGHT, AND IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN AND THE VAN STARTS SLOWING DOWN AND SPUTTERING ALONG, WITH TRAFFIC TRAVELING BEHIND ME. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IT IS BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT NOT ANYTHING THAT OWNERS CAN AVOID. *TR

MY RADIATOR FAN CONSTANTLY RUNS INTERMITTENTLY BUT WITH INCREASING LENGTHS OF TIME, REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER (HOT, COLD.) THE ENGINE DOES NOT OVERHEAT. BUT THE LIGHTS DIM AT NIGHT WHEN THE FAN KICKS IN AND CREATES A LOUD HUMMING SOUND THAT IS BECOMING MORE IRRITATING. I READ ON THE WEB THAT MANY EARLIER MODELS OF THE MAZDA HAD A RECALL FOR THE FAN CONTROL MODULE UP TO 2003. MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN THE RECALL, BUT I NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE WEB HAVE MODELS AFTER THE RECALL PERIOD AND WE ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED MODULES. (SP-60 I THINK IS THE RECALL NOTICE.) I'M NOT SURE I AM CONTACTING THE RIGHT OFFICE, BUT HOW DO YOU GET THIS ON THE RECALL PROGRAM OR DETERMINE THAT THE FAULTY MODULES AREN'T CREATING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR MODELS MADE AFTER THE RECALLED VERSIONS? CAN YOU HELP? *KB

ENGINE COIL ISSUE. ROUGH IDLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. *TR

Oct 25, 2010

WITH OUR MAZDA 2004 MPV, WE HAVE HAD FOUR SEPARATE INCIDENTS IN 2 1/4 YEARS FROM MAR 2008 THROUGH JUNE 2010 WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON TO INDICATE AN ENGINE PROBLEM. IN EACH INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE RUNS VERY ROUGH AND VERY SLOW. EACH INCIDENT RESULTED IN US TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHERE SOME OR ALL OF THE IGNITION COILS WERE REPLACED. FOR SOME OF THE INCIDENTS, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT IN EACH INCIDENT ALL OR SOME OF THE COSTS WERE COVERED BY MAZDA. IN 2 OF THE INCIDENTS, WE WERE OUT OF TOWN AND IT WAS DARK. IN ANOTHER INCIDENT, WE WERE LEAVING TOWN, AND THE OTHER, WE WERE IN TOWN. NOW, WE WILL NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF TOWN FOR FEAR OF COMPLETELY BREAKING DOWN AT NIGHT OR IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS. ON THE INTERNET, I FIND VERY MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS FOR THE MAZDA MPV. *TR

AT APPROX. 50,000 MILES MY 2004 MAZDA MPV'S 'CHECK ENGINE LIGHT' WENT ON. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE I WAS TOLD AN IGNITION COIL HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT APPROX. 60,000 MILES, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ... THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ' CAME ON AND, AGAIN, AN IGNITION COIL HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED FROM WEB POSTINGS THAT THIS IGNITION COIL PROBLEM MAY BE A FAIRLY COMMON REPAIR ON 2004 MAZDA MINI-VANS AND I'M WONDERING IF THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED THROUGH A RECALL AND REPAIR BY MAZDA. WERE I ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON ... THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION CAPACITY AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE ... I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I AM NOW CONCERNED THAT THIS IGNITION COIL PROBLEM MAY CONTINUE TO RE-OCCUR IN THE FUTURE. *TR

2004 MAZDA MPV: I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 6 IGNITION COILS IN MY VAN - THE VAN WOULD SHAKE AND SEEM TO BE STALLING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THIS STARTED IN JULY 2007 AND CONTINUED SO FAR THROUGH JAN 2010 (WHEN 4 COILS AND ALL MY SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT ONCE !). I HAVE ALSO HAD THE CAR IN DURING OCT 2008 BECAUSE THE FAN WOULD CONTINUE RUNNING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER THE VAN WAS SHUT OFF. MY DEALER TOLD ME THIS IS A "FORD" ISSUE.

Apr 14, 2010

WE HAVE 2004 MAZDA MPV WHICH WE BOUGHT NEW. WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, WE HAD TO HAVE COILS REPLACED. WE THOUGHT IT WAS ODD THAT WE WOULD BE HAVING TO REPLACE COILS ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE. AFTER INVESTIGATION, WE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE YEAR MPV WE HAVE. APPARENTLY THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH ALLOWS MOISTURE TO GET TO THE COILS, CAUSING THEM TO SHORT OUT. WE MENTIONED THIS TO FITZGERALD MAZDA IN ANNAPOLIS, MD WHERE WE WERE HAVING IT SERVICED. THEY ADMITTED THIS WAS A PROBLEM BUT BASICALLY THOUGHT WE SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY..EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PROBABLY GOING TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM LONG AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. SINCE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT, WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE COILS REPLACED 2 MORE TIMES AT OUR OWN EXPENSE AND ARE WAITING TO HAVE YET ANOTHER COIL REPLACED AS I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT. EACH TIME WE HAVE TO HAVE A COILED REPLACED, IT IS VERY COSTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE MAKES THEM VERY DIFFICULT TO GET TO. ONCE WE HAD TO HAVE IT DONE WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING ON VACATION IN FLORIDA..THIS WAS DONE AT THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP IN GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA. THEN ANOTHER TIME WE HAD A COIL REPLACED BY A MECHANIC IN OWINGS, MARYLAND. THAT MECHANIC DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH FOR US AND CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION..THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MOISTURE GETTING TO THE COILS AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. WE ARE NOW DELAYING ANOTHER VACATION..PAYING OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE YET ANOTHER COIL REPLACED. WE WANT MAZDA TO STAND MY THEIR PRODUCT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT THEIR EXPENSE. WE HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $2,000.00 NOW. THE WORST PART IS, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ANOTHER COIL GOES OUT. PLEASE HELP! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 MAZDA MPV. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN HESITATING AS IF IT WERE ATTEMPTING TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ELECTRICAL COIL TO THE CYLINDER. THE REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN A YEAR AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC PLACED INSULATING MATERIALS AROUND THE COIL TO PREVENT MOISTURE FROM ENTERING THE COIL. THE MECHANIC ADVISED WHEN MOISTURE WOULD ENTER THE ELECTRICAL COILS; IT WOULD CAUSE A SHORTAGE CONTRIBUTING TO THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF, THE COOLING FAN WOULD CONTINUE OPERATING. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

LIKE MANY OTHER MAZDA MPV OWNERS, I'VE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE'S IGNITION COILS. IN AUGUST 2008, THE VEHICLE WAS RIDING VERY ROUGH AND HESITATING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DIAGNOSTICS FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SHOWED THAT ONE OF THE IGNITION COILS HAD MISFIRED. I HAD THE COIL REPLACED AND, AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE DEALERSHIP, REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS. AT THAT TIME, MY VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES ON IT, WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I PAID $476 FOR THE REPAIR BUT WAS ULTIMATELY REIMBURSED BY MAZDA ON A CUSTOMER GOODWILL BASIS. ONE YEAR LATER, IN AUGUST 2009, THE VEHICLE AGAIN BEGAN RIDING ROUGH AND HESITATING. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. BASED ON THE EARLIER EXPERIENCE, I SUSPECTED AN IGNITION COIL AS THE CULPRIT. MY SUSPICIONS WERE REALIZED. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT CYLINDER #5 HAD MISFIRED AND THAT SEVERAL OTHER COILS WERE WEAK. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE OTHER COILS WERE LIKELY TO GO AND RECOMMENDED THAT ALL OF THEM BE REPLACED. I HAD THE WORK DONE AT A COST OF $960. THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT HAD ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT. BOTH REPAIRING DEALERSHIPS MENTIONED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MPVS. FROM MY RESEARCH, I CAN SEE THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM FOR 2002-2006 MPV'S. ENTIRE MESSAGE BOARDS ARE DEDICATED TO THIS MAZDA MPV IGNITION COIL DEFECT. MOST BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A DESIGN FLAW THAT PREVENTS THE COILS FROM DISPERSING MOISTURE PROPERLY, WHICH OVER TIME LEADS THE CYLINDERS TO MISFIRE. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MAZDA SHOULD HAVE VOLUNTARILY RECALLED THE VEHICLE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. HAVING PREVIOUSLY MADE A CUSTOMER ACCOMMODATION ON THE EARLIER REPAIR, MAZDA HAS REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COSTS OF THIS LATEST REPAIR. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT MAZDA HAS CHOSEN TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM ON A CUSTOMER-BY-CUSTOMER BASIS, RATHER THAN HAVING VOLUNTARILY RECALLED THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS VERY COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

IGNITION COILS RETAIN MOISTURE AND CAUSE CYLINDERS TO MISFIRE. THIS CAUSES VEHICLES TO STALL OR LOSE POWER -- USUALLY WHEN RAINING. IN OUR CASE, THIS HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RAIN. WE EARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENTS BY OUR INABILITY TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC WITH OUR SUDDENLY-SLOWED VEHICLE. REPLACEMENT OF A SINGLE COILS COST US OVER $200. THERE ARE SIX IGNITION COILS (OVER $1000). MANY INTERNET FORUMS INDICATE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS SYSTEMIC IN THIS MAKE/MODEL. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE MANUFACTURER REDESIGNED THE COIL FOR SUBSEQUENT MODELS. THEY OBVIOUSLY RECOGNIZED THE FLAW.

OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS, PASSENGER-SIDE POWER SLIDING DOOR ON A 2004 MPV, INTERMITTENTLY WOULD: 1) NOT CLOSE. DOOR WILL ATTEMPT TO CLOSE, BUT BOUNCES OPEN AT THE END. DOOR POWER HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AT THE DRIVERS CONTROL, SO THAT THE DOOR CAN BE MANUALLY CLOSED. 2) DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. SEVERAL OCCASION, THE DOOR WOULD APPEAR TO BE STUCK AND CANNOT BE OPEN WITH ANY OF THE CONTROLS AND NOT MANUALLY EITHER. DOOR BUTTON WILL "BEEP" BUT DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. DOOR USUALLY "RECOVERS" AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A SHORT TRIP. 3) DOOR WILL MAKE MOTOR WHINNING SOUND...LIKE IT'S TRYING TO OPEN WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND ONCE IT DID OPEN ON ITS OWN WHILE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED. REPORTED TO MAZDA OF ROSWELL DEALER, THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM AND CANNOT OFFER MUCH HELP. *NM

I JUST HAD MY TIRES CHECKED AT 10,000 MILES DURING AN OIL CHANGE AT MY DEALERSHIP. NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. I NOW HAVE 11,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND TIRES. MY TIRES ARE MICHELIN RADIAL XSE P215/50 R17. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WITHOUT WARNING MY DRIVERS SIDE BACK TIRES BLEW OUT. IT SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE AND THE CORDS WERE SHOWING. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS IS THE FAULT OF THE MICHELIN TIRE BECAUSE OF THE TREAD WEAR AND THE MILES ON IT. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING IN THE ROAD NOR WAS THE TIRE PUNCTURED. WHEN THE TIRE BLEW I WAS ON WEST BOUND ON I-70 TO DOWNTOWN INDIANAPOLIS AND WITHOUT WARNING I SPUN AROUND SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF I-70 AND GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE FOR NECK AND BACK INJURIES. MY MAZDA 6 RECIEVED 6,000 DOLLARS IN DAMAGE THAT I KNOW OF SO FAR NOT TO MENTION THE PERSON THAT I CRASHED INTO. MY INSURANCE WILL NOT PAY FOR THE TIRE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE ACCIDENT. I THINK MICHELIN SHOULD PAY FOR 4 NEW TIRES OF A DIFFERENT BRAND, MY HOSPITAL VISIT, MY DEDUCTABLE AND MY RENTAL CARE EXPENSE AND MY LOST WAGES. ALSO MY TIRE PRESURE WAS CHECKED BY MY DEALER AGAIN THE WEEK OF JUNE 27,2005. I'M VERY LUCKY THAT I DIDN'T GET HURT WORSE OR SOMEONE GETTING HURT. I STILL DON'T KNOW THE EXTENT OF MY INJURIES BECAUSE I'M STILL HAVING A LOT OF PAIN SINCE THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON JULY 4, 2005. IS IT ANY WONDER THAT THE F1 DRIVERS DIDN'T WANT TO RACE AND FACE AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE YET DEATH?

I WAS ON I-75 WHEN I ACCELERATED HARD WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO A GAP IN HEAVY, MERGING TRAFFIC. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR MY VAN CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT A HIGH RPM. I STABBED AT THE ACCELERATOR WITH MY FOOT TO SEE IF I COULD UNSTICK IT, BUT IT ONLY CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV EVEN HIGHER - TO FULL-THROTTLE. I JABBED AT IT MULTIPLE TIMES TO NO AVAIL. I TRIED TO LIFT THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY FOOT BY JAMMING IT UNDERNEATH THE PEDAL AND PULLING IT UP, BUT IT FLOATED FREELY AND CONTINUED TO FALL BACK TO ITS FULL-THROTTLE POSITION. ALTHOUGH I WAS CONFIDENT THAT THE FLOOR MAT WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM I PULLED IT AWAY FROM THE PEDALS AND, AS EXPECTED, THERE WAS NO EFFECT. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP CONTROL OF MY VAN BY APPLYING EXTREMELY HEAVY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE WHILE SHIFTING BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND DRIVE. DURING THAT TIME I WAS STILL JABBING AND LIFTING THE ACCELERATOR WITH MY RIGHT FOOT TRYING TO 'UNSTICK' THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS ENTERING AND CROSSING AND OVERPASS THAT WAS UNDERGOING CONSTRUCTION. CONCRETE BARRIERS LINED BOTH SIDES OF THE HIGHWAY AND BRIDGE WHERE THE EMERGENCY LANES WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN LOCATED. I HAD TO MAINTAIN SOME SPEED, FOR FEAR OF BEING REAR-ENDED, WHILE SEARCHING FOR THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY TO PULL OVER. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST MAZDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY ASCERTAIN THAT THE SCREWING MECHANISM FROM AN UNSECURED AIR HOSE CLAMP HAD SNAGGED THE THROTTLE ARM - THE CLAMP ATTACHES THE HOSE TO THE ENGINE. AS I PUSHED HARDER ON THE GAS PEDAL IT FURTHER EXACERBATED THE PROBLEM BY LOCKING THE ARM IN A MORE WIDE-OPEN THROTTLE POSITION. THE CLAMP HAD BEEN LEFT UNSECURED FROM PREVIOUS WORK DONE AT A MAZDA DEALERSHIP. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THIS COULD HAVE ALSO OCCURRED IF THE CLAMP HAD BEEN SECURED, BUT NOT POSITIONED OUT OF THE WAY OF THE ARM. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP HERE AND THEY HAVE SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE SITUATIONS. THEY CLAIM, I AM PUSHING TOO HARD ON THE GAS, WHICH I DON'T DO. THEY ALSO SAY TO MAKE SURE I HAVE ENOUGH COOLANT IN THE ENGINE WHICH I ALWAYS DO. I AM AFRAID THE ENGINE WILL CATCH FIRE OR SOMETHING WITH THE WAY IT IS RUNNING. UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS MY MAIN CAR TO GET AROUND WITH FOR THE CHILDREN. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. I AM TIRED OF TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT GETTING AN ANSWER. *TR

I OWN A 2004 MAZD MPV VAN. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION LEVER IS MOVED TO D FOR DRIVE, THE THE AIR CONDITIONIN (A/C ) ON/OFF SWICTH IS HIDDEN BEHIND THE LEVER NO MATTER HOW WHAT THE DRIVER SEAT SETTINGS MAY BE. I HAVE CONTACTED MAZDA, BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE ANY REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD AS I HAVE HAD A FEW CLOSE CALLS TRYING TO TURN THE A/C ON OR OFF WHILE DRIVING. *AK

I PURCHASED A 2004 MPV ARCH 28, 2005. TO DATE, I HAVE HAD THIS VAN IN FOR WARRANTY SERVICE TO REPLACE IGNITION COILS THREE TIMES: 10/31/06 '' 31,770MI - #4 COIL REPLACED. TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR REPLACED ALSO 12/05/06 '' 33,229MI - #4 COIL REPLACED AGAIN 1/08/07 '' 34,708MI - #6 COIL REPLACED. TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING, THE SAME SYMPTOMS '' STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION, BUCKING, LURCHING '' OCCURRED AS BEFORE WHEN THE OTHER COILS FAILED. THE CEL CAME ON, I CHECKED FOR THE CODE AND I DISCOVERED THAT THE #5 COIL HAS FAILED. NOW THIS WILL BE THE FOURTH SERVICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN NO EFFORT ON THE PART OF COUNTRY MAZDA TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE COIL FAILURE. REPLACING THE PARTS OBVIOUSLY IS NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN

1 complaint

2004 MAZDA MPV - TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND ENGINE COIL FAILURES. TRANSMISSION HAS SHIFT SHOCK, WHERE THE VEHICLE SLAMS INTO THE NEXT GEAR AT 20 MPH. THE SHOCK SENDS THE VEHICLE DANGEROUSLY FORWARD. MAZDA HAD TWO SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS DEFECT WHICH INCLUDED REPLACING SENSORS AND SWITCHES. MAZDA ALSO SUPPLIED A DIAGRAM TO INSTRUCT DRIVERS TO "WIGGLE" THE GEAR SELECTOR BETWEEN GEARS. NONE OF THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEMS. ENGINE COILS WERE REPLACED THREE TIMES AT 24,000 MILES, 32,000 MILES, AND 35,000 MILES. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP RUNNING CORRECTLY WHILE DRIVING. *NM

DT: WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING WHEEL AND TIRES WERE NOT IN LINE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT WAS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED. . IF THE ROAD WAS NOT EVEN THE STEERING WHEEL WILL DO THE SAME THING. CONSUMER STATED ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN GOING AT HIGH SPEED, THIS HAPPENED MORE OFTEN AND ON WINDY DAYS. WHEN MAKING A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT COME ALL THE WAY BACK. *AK
