I'm not surprised. The common issues with my '02 that I know Mazda won't do anything about (on '01+ cars):
1.) Transmission "ringing" in 3rd-4th gear (poor tolerances IIRC) 2.) Poor tolerances on soft top latches 3.) Camshaft Position Sensor failures I'm sure if I look around the car some, I'll recall more. It's really kind of sad. -Bryan --- On Wed, 8/6/08, Stephanie Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Stephanie Turner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [eGCMC] Fuel Pump and King's Mazda To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 4:41 PM Message Mazda does not take complaints on the MSM very well. Unfortunately, they ignore most of them. I have complained to Mazda Engineers several times about the MSM. They basically knew several things are problems, but with limited production they were not going to do anything about it. It does not hurt to try, but I would not expect anything out of it. That said, some dealers are better than others. The one we use in San Antonio is very friendly to aftermarket modifications.

He needs to go higher up the food chain at the dealer, asking to talk to the regional rep. If that doesn't work, call the customer complaint line in the owner's manual.

Begin forwarded message: From: "Mike Currens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: August 6, 2008 3:39:01 PM EDT Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [eGCMC] Fuel Pump and King's Mazda Does anyone know of a good place to purchase an aftermarket fuel pump. Any ideas on which ones are good, and which ones to stay away from? I'm asking this because my MSM started getting harder to start a couple weeks ago, and then threw a code "lean at idle." last Friday. I took it to King's Mazda, told them that I though it was the fuel pump, and left it for them to look at. They came back and said "Yes it's a defective fuel pump, but your aftermarket intake MAY have contributed to it, so it's not covered under warrenty. That will be $800 to replace." They were pretty crappy about it too. I'm never doing business there again. Mike Currens __._,_.___ Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
