Clutch Problems...

[kd5bwp]

I'm having clucth prblems on a 2002 B2300 Mazda Truck with 11,300 miles.
The first time i had a problem was when the clutch and the brake peadle fell off while drive and i was bringing it to the shop because the Emergency cable was broke Luckly i was only going 35 miles a hour and just threw the truck into the median past the alexs in mudd because i had no brakes and no clutch to down shift and the truck then was only 13 days old and had only 650 miles on it. Since then i have the brakes all around replaced twice and the rear end replaced and the leaf springs reaplaced and the fule pump replace and so on the list keeps going and going. Any ways the clutch they all ready replaced the throw out bering once and realined the clutch 6 times and i'm still getting a growing noise and schreing noise when i press the clutch in there is a service bulletin out for is at "http://www.alldata.com/TBS/34/02346484.html" the tbs number is "0500402" but now they won't fix the problem i having problems disguaging the clutch when it makes the noise and i'm having no luck getting this resloved and they are saying it is normally for it to do that but i have never had a truck that did it
even are 1972 VW bug has no noise with the clutch why is this one haveing so many problems. And is it the clutch or the tran. because it is comming from inside the bell housing because i took the inpection plate to see if the noice is comming from and thats where it is comming from. Help please.

If it only has that many miles on it just take it to Mazda. Not trieing to be a smartass. Read up on the lemon law and get a lawyer to get it straightened out so you can give the truck back. That sounds like a bad nightmare.

well see i have spoke to a lawer about this and the fact every time i bring it in they say nothing is wrong and thts how they are getting out of the lemmon law and the fact i have only 700 miles left on the warr for the clutch that what really suck even know i have video tape on this noise and i have brang this up to the media and they trying to see why i'm having so many problems but still no answer and i paying on a truck with only that many miles that doesn't put up to par and can i remind you this is the secnond Mazda because the first one got wreck in a roll over acc. when i hade the defect fireston tires and that truck was only 13 days old (luckly 13) and in that one the roof went pass the stering wheel and the seat belt broke causing me to be trowing from the vechile luckly i only was in the trama center in san tx for 24 hours but also having th truck the seat belt breaking about 2 weeks ago didn't make me feel safe. Are they this many problems with this truck????????????? Another this i found out that the truck is made by crappy FORD and is the sis to the ranger which has recalls out the butt since the truck hit the assimble line. Does everyone have the same problem i have and i had 2 2002 Mazda trucks both b2300.

If you can, stop driving the car, and call the people who deal with car safety, I forget the name of the gov. institution..

You want all issues documented, and have a copy sent to a lawyer, and take it to court..

Because they say that is the way it is des not mean it is acceptible..

This car is not safe for you to drive..

stop driving it now..

ou happened to get a lemon, you have enough to show you have a problematic car, and if you have all the paperwork, they are screwed..

Go to another mazda dealership, talk to them, or get a reputable mechanic to look at it, and write down all the isses with the car..

 

[kd5bwp]

That what i thought i was going to have to do go to court but the lawares i have talk to said i don't have a case in Texas because this state doesn't have the best lemmone law and the fact is that they every time say it is normall on the warr papers gets them out of it went though to dealships and went trough head quearters and they said they would do nothing it is looking like i getting screwed really badly here every where i turn i get a door slammed in my face i got the documents but i going to keep trying because i don't want to get stucked with this problem and all the other problems. All ready have a app. for another dealship to get there opion because i never been there before and the fact is i can't stop driving this because this is my only car and i have a job and college and very little money left so i can't rent a car and i can't afforded to not have it trying to depend on friends and family won't last forever especially when you have a new truck in there eyes. the only option i really have is media to give them bad repetion in the houston area and to make them not get business if that what it takes to get it fixed because they should never screw a coustumer ever espically me because i will make sure that if it doens't get fixed i will make sure they loe alot o business over this because i know with the two Mazda's i have owned both beging 2002 i will never buy another one aging because of the quality they have gave me an i will recomend that no one ever get a truck don't know about the other cars but i know the truck and that there service sucks badly. and I have went to the web site i look it up every day to see if there is a update on the recall list so i can get it fixe under law but only the 2001 has a recall on it and they years on the ranger from i think 1998 to 2003 have the problem and also with the rear end and every problem i have with the Mazda truck has been recalled with the ford ranger and i know Mazda is Owned by Ford and they have everthing under the hood is the same why is there not one for mine?????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[Aricjm15]

its a ford ranger truck

dump it for a toyota or a GMC, but I'm to to sure about GMC either, the only car company to spell gauge "gage"

 

[kd5bwp]

Is there some one else i can speak too at Mazda headquearters because i getting the run around i thinking i'm only speaking to the peons up there and not speaking to the boss because they say there the only ones in charge can't bee true if anyone can help on who to speak to. if can can't thank you enough.

 

[PeaB0dy]

ask your lawyer this then..

If you get a mechanic to fix the problem, because you have been to the dealer so many times, can you sue for the cost of the repair somewhere else..

not at a dealershit, but somewhere else..

Feel sorry for you man..

I had the last year they made the trucks in Japan (a b2200) and would still be driving it today if some ass didn't get in my way, was an excellent truck..

Ask your lawyer also about hte ford recalls, and how your car came down the same line..

what is the date of manufacture of your truck?

Can you get rid of it.. get another truck..

Just because other people see you have a new truck don't mean s***, you have a bad truck, plain and simple..

 

[kd5bwp]

Thanks at least someone else agress with me and yea i know the the truck from Japan were great and thats why i thought to go with Mazda or Nissan because i had good luck with Nissan but there truck now are just Plastic and i didn't like that If i'm going to have a truck i expect it to have a medal front bumper a good solid one. But thanks for the advies i will try to see what i can do but i also no offence are still taking more advise and or comments or numbers to call at Mazda or who to speak to every little bit helps. And i apperricate everones advice.

 

[BlueMP5Dave]

Thats a crazy story please don't drive that montrosity anymore, at least save your own life. Lawyer should be able to atleast sue for cost of repairs. I would send a e-mail a day to everyone in Mazda that would listen, I would also send hand written stuff explaining your problems. They give you a reciept each time you go into a dealership. Have the problems evaluated by a real mechanic and then send the reciepts from the dealership and the real evaluation to Mazda and let corporate deal with it(photocopies keep the original of course). If you bug them enough I promise that they will do everything in there power to shut you up and that will work in your favor. Good Luck and I hope everything works out for you.

 

[TheMAN]

you honestly believe you bought a "mazda" truck and not just a rebadged ford?

 

[kd5bwp]

yea i thought i was getting a Mazda not a ford because the first Mazda i had i only had it 13 days because of the tires two of them blew out got 60 on the same side when i got the second one about a month later i found out 13 days after thescond one when the the the emergency cable broke so i was bringing it in when the cluth and the brake pedal fell to the floor and then i had no brakes or any way to stop besied getting it stuck in mud so i wouldn't wreck because a kid came out in front of me I could have killed him because Of the ******* truck. And both of the trucks saftey system broke on luckly 13 wtf. But all i know is that Ford is know to past up problems like the pinto the bronco the bronco 2 and the Explorer and now the Focus. And i know now since looking up alto of info that ford makes all all the Mazda cars and trucks and i know the Mazda Trubitue has very simmliar problems as the foucus does and mostly on the safty side.

 

[TheMAN]

huh? "because the first mazda" what?

could we please not write in run on sentances?

 

[TheMAN]

and get rid of that pos and get a nissan titan!

 

[alexlitov]

Don't ever drive a new car on the 13th day.... Give MNA a call and b**** at them.

 

[kd5bwp]

i didn't buy it on the 13 day everything broke after 13 days, and what is MNA?

 

[MalkavianMP3]

MNA= Mazda North American Operations, not all mazdas are built by ford. Just the trucks, the tribute, and the mazda 6. All their other vehicles are made in japan by mazda.
