#24 of 83 Re: Total Recall [nifty56] by flyonthewall Sep 22, 2005 (9:29 am)
Replying to: nifty56 (Sep 21, 2005 8:11 pm) "If I owned one I don't think I would feel comfortable driving one even after the fix, the fire problem would be on my mind all the time, but thats just me."   Hope your Mazda3 is not a 2004 or 2005. Both have had recalls for front airbag problems. http://www.recall-warnings.com/auto-category-V.MAZDA.MAZDA3.html   Before buying my 5, I was looking at 2002 Honda CRVs. But alas they've had 5 recalls! It seems most vehicles are recalled. Many are recalled multiple times. http://www.recall-warnings.com/category-cat_autos.htm Of course fire is a particularly exciting reason for a recall.
#25 of 83 What a bummer! by buckeye39 Sep 16, 2005 (7:00 pm)
I just told my wife about the recall after receiving an email from Mazda. She's so disappointed. She loves our Mazda5. I'd be willing to drive it for awhile until it can be fixed, but there is no way I'm letting her drive it with the kids strapped in car seats in the back. The Mazda center specified in the email is closed until Monday, so I guess we'll just have to remain patient over the weekend. We didn't purchase from the local dealer because they wouldn't come down on the price. I do not look forward to having to deal with them on this. They'll probably try to give us a Yugo for a loaner!

Replying to: buckeye39 (Sep 16, 2005 7:00 pm) I just brought my Mazda5 to the service department..It sounded like they will be keeping it up to 30 days. They were able to give me a MPV with satellite radio to drive. They said because of Hurricane Katrina vans are hard to come by..The loner is through Hertz. This dealership (in Houston) only had 2 vans. Replies to this message: truckasaurus (Sep 17, 2005 9:05 am) pir8matt (Sep 17, 2005 12:16 pm)

Replying to: lolo2 (Sep 17, 2005 6:01 am) Took ours in this morning. The dealer tried to lend us a Mazda 3. Hold out for an MPV! They let us have one in the end. I guess this depends on the area and your dealer. Replies to this message: pir8matt (Sep 17, 2005 12:16 pm)

Replying to: truckasaurus (Sep 17, 2005 9:05 am) I went to my dealer today to see what was up. They really didnt seem to know much about the nature of the recall or the timeframe for repair. They were told not to sell 5's though, though they still had one in the showroom and out front.   I tried to see if I could bail out on the deal, as my trade was being sold on the lot, but the site manager said everything was in process, so it would have to be treated as whole new deal, with me in essence trading in my 'used' (one week old) 5 and buying my 'new' trade-in.   They were courteous though, and seemed genuinely eager to help, and did go ahead and take my 5 into service and gave me a loaner MPV for the weekend. I thought that was pretty nice and it made me feel better about the whole thing.   I guess its wait and see what Monday brings. Good luck everyone.
#29 of 83 Recall and loaner car by ajpendo Sep 17, 2005 (12:18 pm)
We have about 600 miles on our mazda5 and we were called Friday about the recall. The Chicago/Evanston dealership said they had no information about the nature of the recall and they seemed sincere in not knowing about the exhaust problem noted on this board. They offered a rental with Hertz (apparently a sister company to Ford (who have a significant share of Mazda USA). Mazda agreed to provide a minivan (we need space for 2 child and one baby car seat) but Hertz had a Ford Explorer that was inadequate for our needs. Hertz could not have been more unhelpful. Mazda kindly gave me a loaner of an MPV the next day. Mazda have been very helpful but dealing with Hertz was terrible. I believe it only fair that Mazda exchange the Mazda5 with a vehicle with at least equivalent seating. I also note that other mazda5 owners have been accomodated with minivans if that is what they needed space wise, sometimes, it seems, with "encouragement" needed. We love our Mazda5 and hope to have it fixed (and no longer a potential death trap) and back to us soon... Replies to this message: prulex (Sep 19, 2005 6:57 am)

Replying to: ajpendo (Sep 17, 2005 12:18 pm) Just dropped my 5 off at Fairbanks Mazda in Orlando. Only had it for 6 days and sad to see it go, if only for a while. I can definitely confirm that we know more than the dealerships, or at least more than they're letting on...maybe Mazda told them to keep their mouths shut until the actual recall is received by owners. Service guy was unsure how long I could expect to be without my 5, and had "no idea" what the recall was...apparently Mazda was sending them the paperwork today on what the problem/fix is. I'm a little bummed that no loaner Mazda was offered. I would've liked to drive a 6 wagon or a 3 5-door for a week or two. They shipped me off to Enterprise instead to rent a horrible GMC Envoy. Who buys these things? Well, at least I get to put 250 miles on a rental tomorrow instead of my 5. Just hope I don't get lost without my Nav...I was finally going to put it to the test.
