My spouse was on her way to work when the car engine was rough idling and stalled. No engine light or instrument warning indicator came on. the car was towed to a local mazda service dealer the same day. we contacted the service dept on 01/07/99 and learned that the car had a failure, an electrical short in one of the six ignition wires. we also learned that unburned fuel due to this ignition wire failure pass through to the catalyst converters and damaged the left catalytic converter (ruptured). the estimate given to us by the mazda dealer for replacement parts + labor was $1300 for replacing 3 converters. Mazda indicated the emission system (including the converters) was not covered by either our extended warranty or by mazda. All failed parts involved were original mazda for mazda 929.

- 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.
