| 2002 | TIRES | I WAS DRIVING ON 905 WEST, CLOSE TO THE 805 N EXIT, AND THE ROAD WAS BROKEN. THERE WAS A HOLE ON THE ROAD AND MY CAR'S TIRE EXPLOTED WHEN I DROVE BY IT. MY CAR'S ALIGNMENT IS LOST. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. UNFORTUNATELY I DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD SPARE TIRE SO I HAD TO DRIVE TO MY HOUSE WITH THE EXPLOTED TIRE, AND SINCE IT HAPPENED AT 10PM I WILL HAVE TO MISS WORK TO FIX IT, AND BUY A NEW TIRE. *TR |
| 2000 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS | BRAKE SYSTEM IS FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS DONE SO ABOUT SIX TIMES IN A THREE WEEK PERIOD BEFORE BRINGING THE CAR TO THE MAZDA DEALER FOR SERVICE ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2001. SPECIFICALLY, ON SOME OCCASIONS WHEN THE BREAKS ARE APPLIED, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR EVENTUALLY STOPPING THE CAR, BUT VERY SLOWLY. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THE BRAKES APPEAR TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT OCEAN MAZDA CLAIMS THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THEREFORE CANNOT FIX IT. I HAVE ELECTED TO LEAVE THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME FOR FEAR OF DRIVING IT.*AK |
