Driving on interstate and needed to slow for construction zone. cruise would not disengage. turned switch off. hit brake. even put car into neutral for a short time but speed control would not disengage. had to ride brakes about 5 miles in construction zone between tractor trailers before having chance to get off and stop the car. the cruise control disengaged after the engine was turned off for 15 minutes. I paid $420 to replace pads and two rotors after the incident. this IS quite dangerous. It also happened last year and we had cruise control components replaced by montgomery mazda in charlotte, nc. *ak

On the above mentioned dates I encountered mechinical problems which consisted of my cooling system. I replaced the water pump, thermost, radiator, and timing belt. Six months later my heater and defogger was working improperly. At the time I had no idea it was related to the first problem I encountered and I couldn't afford to take it in at the time. So I only drove the car when the temperature was at least 45 degrees or higher. After I finally paid off my car I was finacially able to take it in and had the heater problem checked out. I was told by covington pike mazda mr. Sommers , that they were informed by mazda manufacturer in 1995 that these cars had a defect in the engine block that resticted the flow of the cooliant, which affected the heater/defrost/cooling system, and the only remedy was to buy a new motor. I contacted mazda corp. And got no assistance. I ended up buying a new motor from mazda on feb-23-99 and it was installed and returned onmar-05-99. My total out of pocket cost was $4925.60 which mazda refused to reimburse me for . I feel that because mazda knew of this problem back in 1995 when they informed the dealers with this technical infrmation. That any customer who encounterd these problems mazda would repair at no cost to the customer. *ak

- 10153339In accordance with Federal regulations, follow the procedure listed below when replacing a speedometer. NOTE: Tampering with a motor vehicle odometer is strictly prohibited by Federal, and State laws. It is the dealer's responsibility to comply with Federal, State, and local laws concerning odometer and related documentation requirements when providing a repair or replacement. Mazda vehicles are manufactured with tamper-proof speedometers. When a speedometer is replaced, the new speedometer will read zero (0) miles. This procedure is extremely important to accurately represent actual vehicle mileage. Prior to speedometer removal, complete the information required on the "Speedometer Replacement Label". Labels can only be ordered through Mazda eStore. In an effort to achieve a higher level of Customer Experience and retain the value of Mazda's vehicles, MNAO Warranty Operations is allowing all Mazda dealers to utilize a third party, SPECMO Enterprises, Inc., for Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) odometer setting service. With the use of SPECMO's services, it is possible that the odometer will be set between 10 to 31 miles over the odometer mileage at the time of replacement for both warranty and customer pay repairs. Please make sure that the customer is aware that there may be a slight variance to the odometer, in which case the customer may have to accept the slightly higher mileage. Since odometer setting service is not part of the warranty repair, it is not warrantable nor required, but optional. However, Mazda Warranty policy provides after-warranty assistance (AWA) or DSA that can be utilized to cover this service expense.
