A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
I was pulling into a parking spot in front of the grocery store, when the car started to rev up the engine and drive at speed hitting a supporting column in front of the store. The car jumped the cement block and front was on sidewalk. Passenger side front fender, wheel, smashed. Accelerator stuck.
Fuel cuts out to engine at 2000-2500 RPM. Results in severe bucking and no capability to accelerate, creating a very dangerous condition. Has occured at different speeds from 20 to 50 MPH. Condition then persists at any speed but clears itself when restarting engine. Has happened 3 times at intervals up to 4000 miles. Dealer has verified the fault but is unable to recreate or further diagnose. Attempts at repair have been guesses. Concerned about the reliable safety of the vehicle.
Having problems getting the car to start. Started w/ intermittent delayed starts and now escalated to not starting at all for 1/2 hour and then finally started.
We own a 2000 mazda millenia that stalls at about 50 MPH and has had this problem since we bought the car. We have taken the car in for servicing numerous times, but have not been able to get this fixed. The car has several other problems such as: keyless entry does not work, heated seats do not work, air conditioner does not work; however, none of these pose a safety problem like the stalling. The engine light remains on even after numerous attempts by the dealership service department to repair this problem.
I purchased a 2000 millenia millenia model that only has 39,000 miles on it. In october, 2003 my car mis-fired and the check engine light came on. The diagnosis was that the ignition coil for cylinder #2 was bad and needed replacing. At that time, mazda customer service paid for the part and I paid for the labor. A few days ago (six months later), an identical situation occurred and the diagnosis was that the ignition coil for cylinder # 6 was bad and needed replacing.
