Mazda Mpv 2004 vehicle's engine hesitated when driving in rain at any speed. This began happening before mileage and date listed below. This is a safety hazard when particularly when it occurred while driving on the washington metro beltway. An assistant service manager at, rosenthal Mazda arlington, 750 n. Glebe road, arlington, va. ( 703/527-3000) advised that this problem was known to Mazda for the past five years and required air induction service every 12,000-15,000 miles. We never were warned of this problem or the need for the specific preventable maintenance by either the company or rosenthal Mazda. The repair cost $2000 and could have been avoided if Mazda had advised owners of the need for preventable maintenance (air intake manifold). I repeat that this is a safety issue, causing the driver to be distracted and the car to accelerate poorly, particularly when the engine is hesitating while driving at high speeds in congested traffic. Please contact Mazda and investigate and require them to send warnings and reimburse those who suffered monetary damage as a result of their lack of warning.

Prolong off and on ticking sound in the engine , finally thought it was a belt took it to a shop to have belts changed or checked , mechanic said it is not your belts it is your engine, so we had to have it towed at our expense to the dealer we bought it from to have engine checked or replaced , and now Mazda won't warranty it !!! the mechanic from where we bought it from ,got kind of nasty and told us to get our dam car out of his f-ing shop , we were upset because Mazda won't replace engine , now I am stuck with a 15,000 dollar car no engine !!!! just turned 51,000, and I believe that is not right either , I left the lights on by accident one day for 30 minutes max and my battery died , when we bought new battery I think mileage jumped 10,000 , miles because a month before we tried to trade car for a bigger vehicle( I have 6 people in family- growing out of this one )in and it only had 39,000 miles on it another dealer can verify it because we going to use the Mazda for a trade in, after the battery went dead , all the sudden I had 51,000 miles . . . . Go figure that one out in 30 days . . . .
