2004 Mazda B-Series Complaints

I BROADSIDED A PICK UP TRUCK THAT RAN A STOP SIGN. ENOUGH DAMAGE WAS DONE THAT MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AND LIKELY WILL BE WRITTEN OFF BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY AS TOTALED. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BLUNT TRAUMA TO THE CHEST WALL WITH CONTUSIONS. MY AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. *TR

I HAVE FOUR GOODYEAR WRANGLER SILENT ARMOR TIRES ON MY PICKUP TRUCK. ONE TIRE WENT FLAT DUE TO TEARS ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. SO I THEN INSPECTED THE OTHER TIRES AND FOUND TEARS STARTING IN EACH OF THE OTHER TIRES AS WELL AS THE RUBBER IS PEELING OFF THE SIDEWALLS LIKE SNAKESKIN. THEN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS MY STEERING WHEEL AS BEGUN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AT ANY SPEED OVER 40MPH. TWO OF THE TIRES ARE FALLING APART AND BEGINNING TO GET BUBBLES ON THE SIDEWALLS. THESE TIRES ONLY HAVE 24,000 MILES ON THEM AND ARE ABOUT 2-3 YEARS OLD. I HAVE HEARD SIMILAR STORIES TO MINE ABOUT THESE TIRES AND ALL OF THEM OCCUR AROUND 25,000 MILES BUT GOODYEAR WARRANTY'S THESE TIRES FOR 50,000. I HAVE HAD NO LUCK WITH GOODYEAR WORKING WITH ME. PEOPLE COULD DIE FROM THESE TIRES EXPLODING AND ITS TIME FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE AGAINST THIS COMPANY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

WE WERE BROADSIDED BY A VEHICLE THAT RAN A RED LIGHT AT FULL SPEED. THE IMPACT WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR FLIPPED OVER AND SKIDDED ONTHE PASSENGER SIDE THEN FLIPPED BACK ONTO THE DRIVERS SIDE AND SKIDDED BEFORE ROLLING OVER AT LEAST ONCE. NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THANK GOD FOR THE SEAT BELTS. THEY SAVED OUR LIVES. INJURIES WERE CONCUSSIONS, SPRAINED NECK, INJURIES TO LOWER NECK, BACK AND SHOULDER OF PASSENGER. WE LANDED UPSIDE DOWN, RELEASED OUR SEAT BELTS AND CRAWLED TO SAFETY WITH THE HELP OF POLICE AND FIRE. OUR SPEED WAS ABOUT 25-30 MILES /HOUR. OUR CAR WAS TOTALLED. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS CITED IN THE ACCIDENT.

CAR STALLS AT LIGHTS DOES NOT RESPOND WHEN ACCELERATING HAVE GONE TO BACK UP AND NO RESPONSE THEN CAR WILL JUST TAKE OFF HAVE HAD 2 ACCIDENTS DUE TO NO ACCELERATION FOG AND BUGS IN TAILLIGHTS AIRBAG LIGHT ON/OFF FOR NO REASON CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR ALL RECALLS I AM TOLD I AM NOT DRIVING THE CAR FAST ENOUGH AND AM TOLD I NEED TO CHECK MY OIL WHEN I GET GAS. TOO MANY PROBLEMS TO LIST DEALER WILL FIX BUT CANNOT DUPLICATE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS I EXPERIENCE HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER ONLY TO BE PUT ON HOLD TO LISTEN TO ZOOM ZOOM MUSIC OVER AND OVER. *JB

MY MAZDA B3000 PICKUP WOULD NOT STOP AT A RED LIGHT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I ENGAGED THE BRAKE THE FRONT END SHOOK AND THEN THERE WERE NO BRAKES. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT THERE WAS A LIGHT RAIN BUT I HAD NOT DRIVEN THROUGH ANY PUDDLES, THEREFORE I DON'T THINK IT WAS DUE TO "WET" BRAKES AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD. ULTIMATELY MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK, I ONLY HAVE 30K MILES ON THE VEHICLE, AND I WILL FEAR DRIVING IT ONCE THE BODY HAS BEEN FIXED. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT WOULDN'T STOP AND I FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING MECHANICALLY WRONG. I HAD OVER 2 CAR LENGTHS AND DUE TO THE FACT THIS IS A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE, THERE IS NOT REASON IT SHOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED PRIOR TO IMPACTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *JB
