2005 Mazda MPV Complaints

WE OWN A 2005 MAZDA MPV. FOUR YEARS AFTER PURCHASING, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE CONTINUOUSLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. ALSO WHEN GOING UPHILL IT ALMOST CAN' T MAKE IT TO THE TOP. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC IT TURNS OUT THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING DUE A BAD IGNITION COIL. WE REPLACED THE COIL. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. THIS TIME WE CHANGED THE SIX IGNITION COILS. A FEW WEEKS LATER IT STARTED AGAIN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT AS BAD AS IT WAS BEFORE. WE KEPT USING THE VEHICLE LIKE THAT, FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. NOW THE PROBLEM WAS WORSE, THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND IT STARTED HOLDING BACK. WE TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AGAIN. HE CHANGED ONE IGNITION COIL. IT WORKED FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN IT STARTED SHAKING AGAIN. THE MECHANIC CHANGE ANOTHER ONE, THE SIX SPARK PLUGS AND ONE INJECTOR. IT KEPT WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SO THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED TO CHANGE THE SIX IGNITION COILS, AND WE DID. THE NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE TURNED ON AGAIN. I REALLY DON'T KNO...

MY MAZDA 2005 MPV VAN ENGINE SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY WHEN SLOWING DOWN, SLOWING AROUND CORNERS AND SITTING AT RED LIGHTS. THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO ANY SPUDDERING OR ANYTHING ENGINE RUNS GREAT. LOSS OF STEERING IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE WHEN ENGINE CUTS OFF. I HAVE SEEN A BUNCH OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME MODEL VAN IM SURE THERE'S LOTS MORE. *TR

WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP THE SERVICE LADY TOLD US THAT THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THAT WE WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE COILS FOR AS LONG AS WE OWN THE VAN. ALL THREE TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED THE CAR SHAKES AND ACTS AS IF THE ENGINE WANTS TO SHUT OFF. AFTER VIGOROUS RESEARCH ONLINE WE FOUND OUT THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM.
