Driving on highway with my family when my Mpv wouldn't shift so I could pass a truck. Then it started to lose speed. Would depress gas pedal and the engine would rev but no speed. Had to pull over to breakdown lane which became a very dangerous situation. We are lucky we didn't cause an accident. Mpv would not work in drive, reverse, 3 or 2 gears. We were stranded on the highway and had to be towed back home. Diagnosis: transmission gone. This is a common problem with the Mpv and should be addressed. Have had shift problems in the past where dealer just resets the codes. I won't have it fixed. I have lost confidence in this manufacturer. ## VIN passed ## Mazda Mpv 2002 ##.
This complaint is about part design defects for 2002 Mazda Mpv. Over years, I was struggling to solve engine light-on which took place every once while. Recently, the thing got worse - engine idle rough, engine lack of power, jerking at low rpm. After long time struggle, I've finally found the problem, which was caused by a pcv hose failure. I've never thought it was a pcv hose problem, because the original pcv hose (part # aj51-13-89) has been recalled by Mazda and replaced by new one (part # aj51-13-89ya, it looks like revision a) back to years ago. I've thought Mazda has solved the problem. Obviously, it?s not yet. This time the pcv hose has failed again, and it's so weak that the hose collapsed again under vacuum pressure. To fix the problem, I ordered a new hose, part # aj51-13-89yb. If you look at the part # carefully, you can infer that Mazda has realized that their revision a hose didn't?t work, which was used to replace the original under recall # 2204h, because they have re--designed revision b hose. It?s clearly that the original hose and revision a had design defects. However, they haven?t issue a recall to replace revision a yet this time. Mazda should really recall this pcv hose again. The thing is even bad to customers. Because the design defects and uncertainty of the part make the hose really special, no retail stores carry this hose. The only place you can find it is at Mazda dealership, and it costs $67, much more expensive. It?s just a rubber hose, usually a couple of dollars. I called the Mazda USA, they told me since the original recall was performed on my van, I have to pay for this repair. I did some research on this issue, lot of Mazda owners have this problem, and I don't know how many owners reporting this issue. . Read more...
This complaint may not be about a safety issue of my 2002 Mazda Mpv van. However, it's definitely about part design defects. Over years, I was struggling to solve engine light-on which took place every once while. Recently, the thing got worse - engine idle rough, engine lack of power, jerking at speed higher than 40 mph or at up-slope. After long time struggle, I've finally found the problem, which was caused by a pcv hose failure.
