The foglights affected quite a few Miata's & MPV's as well. This is just a common part that Mazda uses on quite a few vehicles. The brake reservoir deal is just a possible bad sensor for the fluid. Nothing is set in stone about this 3rd recall. I have never heard of it before this thread. I would say none of these recalls are that big of a deal.
I would drive it before making your ultimae decision.
Fortunately I have not been affected by any of the problems. I consider the recalls an inconvienance, but both fixes take less than 2 hours. I would ask your dealer to go ahead and fix them before you take ownership if you end up buying it...
I have a Mazda6S I bought at the end of March. The Check Engine Light has come on 6 times between then and today and I only have 7200 miles on it....The first time it came on was May 27th at around 4100 miles.
After the dealer performed the 2 recalls I got in July (Something with the Brake Fluid Resoivoir and Check Engine Light Software update), it still didn't work.
It gives a fuel/emissions error code of P0456
We sent off paperwork to Mazda Corp in CA instituting the Maryland Lemon Law last Monday (28 Jul). The car was in the shop at that time....we just got it back Wednesday and they said there is another computer update coming out in August 2003 that SHOULD fix my problem.
We'll see....if it doesn't Mazda is going to have to give me a new car according to the Lemon Law. We don't want to get a refund and turn it in cause we LOVE this car....we just want Mazda to fix it NOW or give us a new 6 exactly like the one we have now.
BTW...My Charcoal Canister is also saturated and Mazda Tech would not send the part to my dealer to fix that until they fix this problem forst.
Ummm yeah that makes sense cause they are related issues right, I suppose if it's going back anyways I could see it, but if there is something coming that's supposed to fit it?? geez
I have to take mine in for the recalls tomorrow, while I am there I am going to ask about the other recalls and the ECU flash... I will let you know tomorrow what I find out.
