What owners wrote
Browsing the complaints 2002 - 2006 for the mazda mpv, I think you will find many of the same complaints regarding the ignition coils. I have a 2003 mpv and had 3 coils and all 6 plugs replaced in the spring at a cost of $700. I now have one or more coils failing again and am faced with a similar charge. This should definitely be a recall issue as it is an obvious design flaw.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 mazda mpv. The contact stated that the engine failed four times. The vehicle had to be towed each time. The dealer installed another engine in the vehicle. The contact stated that the check engine light continued to illuminate and the coil ignition had to be replaced twice. The dealer installed new spark plugs in the vehicle on march 13, 2007; however, they failed a year later and had to be replaced. The dealer also installed a wiring harness.
