Crankcase (pcv) Problems of Mazda MPV

The contact owns a 2003 Mazda Mpv. In 2004, the contact received a recall notice from the manufacturer regarding the pcv hose. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the hose, even though no failures were present. There were no issues with the vehicle for five years. Currently, the vehicle idles very roughly, shakes, and surges whenever it is idling at a stop sign. The service engine soon and other instrument panel gauges illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the hose once again; however, it was not the original model nor the recalled model. The vehicle has been operating normally since the most recent repair. The contact believes that they should have placed the current hose on the vehicle back in 2004 at 30,000 miles. The NHTSA campaign id number was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 78,000. Updated 08/14/09. Updated 08/14/09.

The problem is with a faulty 2003 Mazda Mpv pcv hose. Original Mazda recall number 2204h was conducted to replace the original faulty pcv hose. (note: when pcv hose collapsed, it caused a vacuum leak that affected my brake system and caused problems while in traffic, problem intensity was between minor and major) I had my pcv hose replaced in 2004 under the recall, but the replacement hose also collapsed. I've never heard of a pcv hose collapsing. I've heard of them becoming dry/brittle since it's a rubber hose, but I've never heard of a pcv hose collapsing until the Mazda recall. There is some vacuum on the hose, but it's not very strong, I don't think it's strong enough to cause a collapse. In my opinion, there needs to be a second recall to replace the now collapsing replacement hoses. I contacted Mazda corporation at 11:30 a. M. On 7 may 09, their response was that they did not keep records on expected life span or repetitive problems with parts and that since I had put a lot of miles on the van and it was 5 years old, and since they did the recall work, it was now my responsibility to replace the faulty replacement hose. It's difficult for me to believe the manufacturer would not keep records on faulty, recalled parts, especially for unusual problems. Mazda's case file for my complaint to them is 123531180.
