Recall #1

[isda65]

Once again, you 3rd worlders must have lacked vitamin E and your eyes are suffering with color judgement. Perhaps its your belief that you shouldnt ask for vitamin E because your country gave you vitamin A instead and you should be happy with vitamin A as a loaner and you should be happy. If you asked for a carrot they would have gutted you. All along, if you had asked for vitamin E like you wanted, maybe you wouldnt be in this mess. Analogy's are like @#@holes, everyones got one.

I wish I had fam with me when I negotiated for my trade-in. I could have squeezed another 3 grand easy.

Lol. Or you could have used my s-plan and not had to haggle at all. I did manage to pick of a ford focus zx3 5 speed w/87k miles for 3500 dollars in 2003 even though he was asking 5 for it. That was my haggling fine point as I examined the car in front of him and nit picked until he thought he would never be able to sell it.

And what if Mazda say's, "Too Bad!", to all of your suggestions of getting compensation?

(eekfu)

Are you all going to riot? It's a car, people! (uhm)

 

[perfecto]

Then I will never buy another Mazda again, nor will I buy any more Mazda accessories or take my car to a Mazda dealership for service.

 

[Skylab]

Well I agree with not taking the car in for service. I've got a wrench, and I know how to use it. (wink)

I love canadians!

 

[Skylab]

sniff sniff,,,, I smell.....yes....its a toyota troll!

You can add several Chevy's and a couple of Subaru's to that troll moniker, buddy. (hah)

(deadhorse <----No need to do that around here. Just stirring up some conversation. (secretly, I can't want to get my Mazda 5...even if it will be at the end of the year!) (cheers)

Yup your right we did ask for Vitamin A cause we dun went to high school eh!. Vitamin A, also known as Retinol is abundant in carrots and forms an important role in the development and maintenance of vision.
Nice thing about being from a 3rd world country is that you can always sit back and wait for the American to make an ass of himself.

1st of all. Youre an american, you live on the continent of america. Likewise make fun of it all you want as Ontario is as close to a 51st state as they come. Your stores and way of life is close to us than any other culture\nation anywhere, so quit pretending youre anything different other than pasty. Im impressed you can look up specifics on the internet using a search engine, your mother must be impressed, and we all know how easy that is (last night).
My analogy was on the subject. Id suggest you stick to it as well.

Riddle me this Batman. How can a small problem like this be enough to push the Mazda 5 Moderator over the edge?

What's wrong Perfecto? Having a crisis of faith

 

[fam]

maybe cuz skylab cornered him and flipped him off on the previous post? Ive never seen such a legion of people fighting all of us to try to settle this issue by doing nothing and asking for nothing.

 

[the_saint]

<sigh> oh hum...I guess apathy rules all <sigh>

 

[WhitewaterPearl]

I'm thinking maybe,

1. -Extend the drivertrain warranty to 100k ONLY on vehicles that have had
the full recall fix and recalibration performed.


2. -Free oil and filter changes for the duration of the extended warranty.
-OR-
$350 credit toward ONLY Mazda parts, Mazda accessories, or Mazda
performed service.


3. And $1800 off MSRP if you still own or trade-in your M5 towards the
purchase of ONE new Mazda vehicle.

Nah, I just want some kind of compensation for the loss of my beloved car for 2 months.

 

[DeadGeneration]

It sucks for all of you, I haven't seen a single Mazda 5, probably because they being repaired at dealership. It could be worse, I mean they could find another problem and have to do a recall that lasts even longer. That would never happen though... (huh)

I wasn't fighting. I was trying to be silly, but somehow, it never comes across as funny on the internet. (poke)

Anyways, the purpose of my post was to say that, I don't think Mazda is going to do anything special for any of us. You all are posting what you'd like them to do, but most likely, they won't.

(and the flipping off gesture was supposed to be the Dealerships flipping us off.) (boom07)

50/50

Right now I'm 50/50. Yes alittle upset but at the same time my Mazda dealer is has honored most of my request. First I got a rental Ford Explorer, then a new MPV, then a Tribute, now back to a MPV. You may say that sucks yet every time I had a problem with what I was driving they gave me something else to try. No rear AC, not enough room for the family weekend trip but full tanks of gas each time no hard time given. Yes I want my car back. Hopefully I will get it soon. My 5 is manuel transmission at this time they do not have an issue only the automatic. They say they should know more by next week so by then I'll push to get mine back if nothing is found on the standard 5s. I was told it could be late Oct. to first part of Nov. That was before they knew I had a standard. Then they didn't know what to say seeing as all of us who are on this web site know more than they do.

I just found this news release!!!


STATEMENT: 2006 MAZDA5 EXHAUST SYSTEM OVERHEAT



Featured Stories

Press Releases


UPDATED ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2005


A safety-related defect may exist in the MAZDA5 as a result of the exhaust system becoming overheated. Although only three instances have been reported, and there have been no injuries as a result of the fires, Mazda will be initiating an aggressive campaign to repair all of the approximately 2,700 affected vehicles either at dealers or in customers possession. Customers will receive a formal recall notification at a later date.


Mazda has determined that the cause of these fires is excessive exhaust heat caused by inadvertent operation of the vehicle in the manual mode of the automatic transmission at highway speeds in second gear. It is possible that extended high-RPM operation may cause this exhaust overheat, and a subsequent fire.


Mazda will resolve this situation with the installation of a warning label instructing customers on the proper operation of the vehicle in the M mode of the automatic transmission. In addition, a heat-shield will be added to all vehicles as well as a recalibration of the automatic transmission electronic control unit.


Mazda expects all vehicles to be repaired and returned to their owners as soon as possible. New vehicle deliveries will resume as soon as vehicles in inventory are repaired. In the interim, Mazda will provide all customers with replacement transportation at no cost.

Yes, I too have found that inflection and tone are very difficult to relay across the 'net. (friday)

Actually, they're all sitting on a back lot collecting dust. (sad2)
