Before the 2000 I had a 91. The 2000 is a speed demon compared to the 91!
#42 of 4469 Shaking... by meera Apr 15, 2000 (5:36 am)
Cmm4, thanks for the feedback. Were these vans LX's and did they have the touring package? After keeping my van almost three days, the dealer is telling me it is normal vibration at high speeds and all front wheel drive vehicles have vibration like this! All my cars (except the 91 MPV) have been front wheel drive and I've never had this much shaking on the highway. Any other comments/ feedback appreciated. I guess I'll write a letter to Mazda, I'm not sure what else to do.

The dealer is selling you a bill of goods. I have an LX model w/ Touring package and do not experience any vibration problems at high or low speeds. Any other dealerships in your area to take your van to?

pd10, Thanks for the feedback. My LX just has the security package. I'm wondering if the smaller tires effect the ride at high speeds. Any other LX/security owners out there? How does the steering wheel feel in the 75 mph range?
#45 of 4469 meera - shaking by cmm4 Apr 16, 2000 (4:46 pm)
Both vans were ES's with the Dunlop 16". It would be interesting to compare your van, model, pkg's. and mfr. date, with the other members having this problem. I've seen a few members that have the "pull to the left syndrome" but only one other person with the "65 mph + steering wheel vibration".
#46 of 4469 No shaking here by mandamom Apr 16, 2000 (5:25 pm)
I have LX with touring and security packages. I have not found the manufacture date. I have not experienced the shaking or the pulling to the left.
#47 of 4469 Paint peels on the bumpers by gordobr Apr 16, 2000 (11:58 pm)
I have had a black ES for about one month and it drives like a dream. No issue at all with acceleration, great responsiveness etc. My only issue other than the dealers not knowing as much as they should about the van is that minor bumps to the bumper can easily chip and peel a small amount of paint. It is more noticeable in the black I would guess less so in silver. Any ideas other than being ultra careful?
#48 of 4469 shaking- again (and paint too)... by meera Apr 17, 2000 (5:26 am)
Well, I got hubby to drive the van on the highway today. He had only driven it around town. He agreed that the dealer is full of it and the shaking is not acceptable. I think we will try the other dealer in town, before we compose a nice letter to Mazda. Oh, hubby thinks the van pulls to the left! UGH! I thought the bumper underneath was black. My rock chips from our trip are very noticable black, plus there's a big scrape on the front that also reveals black plastic. I'm not sure how the scrape got there, luckily it is very low under where the foglights would be. Our van is white. I've got to get some touch up paint!
#49 of 4469 Vibration by auerbach Apr 17, 2000 (3:17 pm)
A few months ago my wife and I test drove an LX. There was a very noticeable vibration at about 40 - 50 mph. When we mentioned it to the sales person, he said it was due to the rough highway in front of the dealership!! Sometimes I think these people don't give a you know what!!!

I haven't had any pulling or vibration problems. My van is an LX w/sec. pkg (no touring pkg), manufactured Jan. 00. The drive is very smooth. Tell your dealer he is full of it! Vibrating is not normal. I would be persistent. They don't want to be bothered, but TOO BAD! Good luck and keep us posted. Knock on wood, but so far I haven't had any problems. What a fun van!
