I DO NOT REMEMBER THE MILEAGE ON THE AUTO; IT MAY HAVE BEEN 50 TO 100 MILES. WHENEVER WE USE THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE MAZDA ACCELERATES. AT FIRST, WE DID NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 1999 MADZA MILLENIA, WHICH I PURCHASED PRE-OWNED, IN 2002. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILLS SINCE THAT TIME.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR THE TCS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER. IT HAD TO BE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING IN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC CAUSING CARS BEHIND US TO SWITCH LANES TO AVOID HITTING US. THIS OCCURRED FOUR TIMES IN A THIRTY FIVE MINUTE DRIVE TO OUR DESTINATION.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN NOV 2002, AT 60,000 MILES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUALLY STAYS ON. THE CAR RUNS ROUGH AND HAS POOR ACCERLATION. WE HAVE IT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES, AND THATS ONLY FOR THIS YEAR. WE'VE REPLACED 3 O2 SENSORS, THE AIR INDUCTION HOSE. THE SERVICER HAS ALSO CLEANED THE EGR VALVE PORT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY OFF FOR 2 OR 3 WEEKS AND THEN IT'S ON AGAIN. I'M VERY UNSATISFIED WITH MAZDA.
