1999 mazda millenia travelling at 60 MPH rear-ended a car t hat pulled in front . Neither the driver or passanger airbag deployed, causing the driver to collide with the steering wheel resulting in injuries.
There was no deployment of the driver's side or passenger's side air bags when vehcle was hit by a van traveling at a high rate of speed. The whole front end of the vehicle was sheared off. Vehicle was totalled.
Driver's tire bubbles are around the rim which may cause a tire blowout. Dealer replaced the driver's tire 4 times. However, passenger's tire has experienced the same problem and had been replaced once. There is a national back order on these tires. Please provide further information.
Engine light contiuously stays on. While slowing down or shifting into the drive gear vehicle will jerk very hard. This is caused by transmission failure.
I bought my car in nov 2002, at 60,000 miles. The check engine light continually stays on. The car runs rough and has poor accerlation. We have it in the shop 4 times, and thats only for this year. We've replaced 3 o2 sensors, the air induction hose. The servicer has also cleaned the egr valve port. The check engine light will stay off for 2 or 3 weeks and then it's on again. I'm very unsatisfied with mazda.
