1 Power Train problem of the 2001 Mazda MPV

Failure Date: 11/11/2018

When I initially bought this vehicle it had been through previous owners and I have been trying to fix things but am a single mother of three and I just can afford much but I happen to put the yr make and model into the google one day and notice of recalls and as I read the same as whats I had already noticed had already happened and I figured I could live with it but I woke up one morning got in it and boom driving for ten minutes and boom all of a sudden I have no gears and then I get 1st and nothing else then eventually no reverse , so after almost getting stuck in the cold streets with a baby and my friend, I barely made it home I wanna know why such a nice vehicle is so fuct!!! and why did I get a bunk deal. Like I thought this was my break finally I wont have to worry so much about a vehicle just the other stuff, but to my dismay. . . . . . . . . . . Here we are?????? and if you happen to contact me I can then explain in detail the destruction of this vehicle.

2 Power Train problem of the 2002 Mazda MPV

Failure Date: 08/22/2012

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 ##.

3 Power Train problem of the 2001 Mazda MPV

Failure Date: 10/10/2010

Mazda Mpv's oxygen sensor bank2, sensor1 wire circuit burned up. Have to replaced the oxygen sensor. There was no fire on my Mpv but if I didn't have it fix fast it could cause fire.

4 Power Train problem of the 2002 Mazda MPV

Failure Date: 03/10/2009

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...

5 Power Train problem of the 2002 Mazda MPV

Failure Date: 06/03/2008

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. 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.
