Problems with tire equipment on the 2002 Mazda Protege 5. There was difficulty with placing suitcases or boxes into the trunk of this type of vehicle, the cd player skipped, the transmission displayed a loud clunk noise, there was a spare tire problem, there was a nail in the tire which could not be repaired because it was located too close to the edge of the tire, 50% of tread remained, and there was evidence that the wheel needed to have five holes for bolts (spare wheel), and the brakes had 50% remaining. The consumer requested that a memorandum be sent to all Mazda dealers explaining the problem, ensure that one or two replacement tires should be stocked due to the extreme difficulties in locating the correct information of the tire and wheel.

The stereo unit on the Mazda speed Protege is very defective. This unit is manufactured by kenwood. The stereo suffers from multiple intermitent failures and problems. The most noticable are as follows: volume dims and surges after the stereo is on when using the defroster on the vehicle. Sub-woofer blows out under normal usage, pronounced whine with the acceleration of the vehicle when listening to the radio, random lock up of the stereo face plate requiring using the system reset button to get it to operate normally again. The car has been into the dealer 3 times for these issues and except for the blown sub-woofer reports no problem found. The sub-woofer has been on order for 2 months with no expected delivery date.
