Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) Problems of Mazda MPV

2003 Mpv's check engine light came on shortly after getting on the interstate. Van had a "stuttering" feel. Even though the van was 5 weeks out of warranty by time, not mileage (39901 miles) I took it to the dealership hoping for a goodwill fix. They said it was the egr valve. I have never seen an egr valve to out so early. Dealership did cover the part and charged me $180 in labor to replace the valve that was only a two bolt removal and extremely easy to get to. Mazda should have covered this fully. I was expecting this to be the famous coil problem.

Since we got the van it was a new vehicle and the engine light has consistently come on. The dealer tryed to tell us we were not tightening the gas cap. Then it was we needed a new gas cap. You have to take it to the shop every time the light comes on. One mechanic stated it was an 02 sensor that was supposed to have been replaced after much hassle. Now 10 days later the engine light is back on. The warranty is about to run out.

I bought this car for 6 months, the engine light on twice, didn't fix it first time, the advisor said the gas tank cap is not close tight enought. Couple of days later, the engine light is one again, this time they found control system incorrect flow, small leak, hose off of purge valve at air cleaner housing. Car pulls to left on highway and right on local street. Brought in 4 time, admit alignment on the 3rd time and fix it, but still pull. Brought in again the fourth time, said found no pulling problem. We complaint that the car occasionally jerk when press gas paddle, the jerk feeling simliar to the way the car got hit in behind. They found no code for it. The car beep, they can't find any code for it. There are many problem we found in the car, but they said they can't find the code. One advisor think that the car's pulling because the car is too high. Also, it happen 3 times since I bought the car that after I placed the gear to reverse, then place it back to drive, the car won't go but the engine run. To fix it, then I place the gear back to park and to drive, then the car back to normal run. I'm very regretful to have bought this car. It has so many problem and the dealear doesn't seem to want to fix the problem either. I'm, the consumer have to paid financially, and mentally for this car. It is a disaster.
