1989 MAZDA 929

THE HORN NOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL WORK. I'VE CHECKED ALL OF THE FUSES THEY ARE ALL WORKING.

WHILE VEHICLE STOPPED TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD RISE. ON THE OTHER HAND, WHILE TRAVELING TEMPERATURE WOULD LOWER. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED.*AK

GAS FUMES WERE GETTING INTO VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING\. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND REPLACED ONE OF THREE INJECTORS. CURRENTLY, PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED. DEALER CONTACTED. FEEL FREE TO PPROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD. IMMEDIATELY PLACED SHIFT IN NEUTRAL WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, ENGINE WITH NO LOAD RACED TO 5000 RPM AND WAS CLIMBING HIGHER UNTIL THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO OFF. RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND IT IMMEDIATELY RACED TO 5000 RPM. THIS SEQUENCE OCCURRED 5 TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE FINALLY RESET TO A NORMAL RPM START AND COULD BE DRIVEN HOME. AUTO HAS EXPERENCED THIS PROBLEM FOR 2 YEARS BUT CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED IN THE SHOP. THE RUGS WERE REMOVED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DISCONNECTED, AND THE COMPUTER CHANGED BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER CORRECTED BY 3 SEPARATE SHOPS WHO COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN THEIR POSSESION. OWNER FEELS THE VEHICLE IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ALTHOUGH IT IS IN PERFECT CONDITION OTHERWISE. *AK

CONSUMERS UNION RECOMMENDED I CONTACT YOU. CAM DRIVE BELT MANUFACTURED BY THE KELLY-SPRINGFIELD DIVSION OF GOODYEAR TIRE AND RUBBER, SEPARATED INTO SHREDS AFTER 49,800 MILES. LOCAL DEALER REPLACED BELT FREE OF CHARGE, BUT CLAIMED WARRANTY GOOD FOR ONLY 50,000 MILES. OWNER'S MANUAL RECOMMENDS CHANGING EVERY 60,000 MILES. BREAKAGE CAUSED WARPED VALVES AND GOUGED PISTONS. SUBMITTED DAMAGE CLAIM, #11153, TO GOODYEAR IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,830.70. GOODYEAR AFTER ANALYZING A COUPLE STRANDS, CLAIMED THE BELT WAS NOT AT FAULT. MACHANIC, ASE CERTIFIED, CAN NOT FIND PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF ANY OTHER PART BEING AT FAULT. I WOULD LIKE REIMBURSEMENT FOR DAMAGE TO VEHICLE, AND CLARIFICATION AS TO WHY A COMPANY WOULD RATE A REPLACEMENT PRODUCT FOR FEWER MILES THAN RECOMMENDED IN THE AUTOMOBILE OWNER'S MANUAL, AND NOT NOTIFY THE REPAIR SHOP OR OWNER. I AM LUCKY BREAKAGE DID NOT OCCURRED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC! FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT EITHER MYSELF, OR ENDY AUTO REPAIR, 1706 S. IOWA AVE, JOPL

PASSENGER'S DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN THE DOORS AT ALL. AT THIS TIME THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FRONT DOORS, BUT NOT ON PASSENGER'S DOOR. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP WHEN CHANGING. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD BE ROUGHT SHIFTING FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER & INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. TRANSMISSION GOT WORSE & VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEABLE.*AK

THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES, BOTH FRONT AND REAR, KEEP BREAKING, THEREBY MAKING THE DOORS INOPERATIVE FROM THE OUTSIDE. BOTH REAR HANDLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND BOTH FRONT HANDLES WERE REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL, THE LEFT FRONT HAS SINCE BROKEN. THE MATERIAL USED IN THESE HANDLES IS OF SUCH POOR QUALITY THAT THE METAL ACTUALLY BREAKS. I AM ALWAYS DRIVING AROUND WITH AT LEAST ONE (ONCE WITH TWO) INOPERATIVE DOOR DUE TO A BROKEN HANDLE. *AK

WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE FAILED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, THE DRIVERS WINDOW WHEN ROLLED DOWN WOULD POP OPEN THE DOOR, THEN THE WINDOW ITSELF WOULD NO LONGER ROLL UP. THEY AGREED TO FIX THE DOOR HANDLE BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER RECALL. YET THE WINDOW, WHICH WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO AND CAUSED BY THIS INCIDENT IS GOING TO COST US 225DOLLARS TO GET REPAIRED. IT WENT DOWN AND WOULDN'T COME BACK UP AFTER THE DOOR HANDLE FAILED AND WOULDN'T OPEN FROM OUTSIDE . NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THE REGULATOR IS STRIPPED ON THE WINDOW, WHICH IS BECAUSE THE DOOR HANDLE FAILED AND IN TURN THE WINDOW ONCE ROLLED DOWN WOULD NEVER COME BACK UP. THE DEALERSHIP ADMITS THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED FULLY TO THE RECALL, BUT WILL ONLY FIX THE DOOR HANDLE ITSELF AND IS CHARGING US FOR THE OTHER PART, WHICH IS TOTALLY DUE TO THE DEFECT AND WAS NOT IN OUR CONTROL. (93V-174) DENIED ADDITIONAL REPAIR OF WINDOW. *MJS

REAR DOOR HANDLE IS BROKE AND THE CONSUMER CAN'T GET INTO REAR DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. *AK

CONSUMER CAN'T USE THE DOOR HANDLES FROM THE OUTSIDE ON THE PASSENGER'S FRONT DOOR AND DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DUE TO THE HANDLES BEING BROKEN. *AK

DOOR HANDLE FAILURE PREVENTING DOORS FROM BEING OPENED FROM EXTERIOR.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS ABLE TO BE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT THE KEYS BY TODDLERS. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS THROUGH A FENCE, OFF A CLIFF HIT A TREE AND WAS STOPPED.

3 OF THE 4 VEHICLE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN.

THE ENGINE SURGES INTERMITTENTLY.

THE HANDLE ON THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS INOPERATIVE, CONSUMER CANNOT GAIN ENTRY FROM THIS DOOR, CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. PLEASE GIVE FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW WHEN ROLLED DOWN, THE DOOR UNLOCKS AND COMES OPEN BY ITSELF, POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER HAD A PRIOR RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. *AK

THE FRONT OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES STOPPED WORKING, TOOK TO DEALER TO FIX THEM AND DEALER INDICATED THAT VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL #93V174000; CURRENTLY, HAVING PROBLEM WITH THE REAR DOOR WHICH WILL NOT OPEN . *AK

AFTER HAVING RECALL REPAIR WORK DONE ON FRONT DOOR HANDLES, THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE, CAUSING THE DOOR TO NOT OPEN OR CLOSE. RECALL#93V174. *AK

ABS, BRKAE FAILURE, ABS MODULE UNIT HAD DEVELEOP A CRACK, CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. *AK CONSUMER STATES SHE FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS NOT A CRACK, THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY A RUBBER GASKET THAT HAD WORN WHICH CAUSED THE LEAK.*JB
