At 42,000 miles, I had to replace 3 cylinder coils.
At 48,120 miles my transmission needs to be replaced.
At 48,120 miles an oxygen sensor needs to be replaced.
At 48,120 miles I have an oil gasket that needs to be replaced.
My first Mazda was the R-100. I have owned an RX-3, 323 and now the MPV. I never had a problem until the MPV. The problems I am experiencing with this MPV at such a low amount of mileage is very disheartening. I am hoping that MazdaUSA will repair the transmission at no or little cost to me.
I own a 2002 mazda mpv I have never owned a Mazda. I have had several things wrong with mine since I bought it in 2003.Engine coils, catalytic converters, window regulator, new transmission thus far. I don't know if I would buy another Mazda now.
In my opinion, you have been fooled by the automechanics...
I just test drove an 02' MPV and with 68,000 miles on it, and it nearly didn't make it back to the dealership. Bad transmission! Not a good impression!
Had an 2002 MPV LX - had numerous and continuous check engine light problems the entire time I owned the auto - shop could never figure out why the light went on and off so often, horrible rotten odor smell that came and went, PVC harness & hose had to be replaced, cat. converter had to be replaced, tires did not wear evenly (went through 4 sets of tires in 6.5 years), coolant temp. sensor had to be replaced, started idling roughly then transmission blew at 72K miles and the repair cost was only slightly less than the trade-in value. I'm just a mom who does mainly driving around town so there was no way I was "hard" on the van.
On the positive side, the van still looked fantastic at 72K miles - but a nice looking van that doesn't run is still worthless.
Mazda permanently lost my business with their poorly made MVP. I'll stick with Honda from now on.
