ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM HAD INTERNAL CORROSION WHICH CAUSED HEATING FAILURE (THERMOSTAT). IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS AT OR BELOW ZERO, THE RISK OF FREEZING TO DEATH BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT HEAT PROPERLY COULD HAVE ITS CONSEQUENCES. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED (USED ENGINE) AT A COST OF $3000.00 THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED, MOST LIKELY BY INCORRECT ANTIFREEZE INSTALLED IN THE ENGINE. THIS WAS DONE EITHER AT THE FACTORY OR THE NEW CAR DEALERSHIP WHEN THE CAR WAS PREPED FOR SALE. *TR

INTERMITTENT, RANDOM, ENGINE STALLING. THE 2002 MAZDA B3000 DUAL SPORT WILL STALL RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. SO FAR THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND UNDER DIFFERENT WEATHER CONDITIONS. SEVERAL OTHER DUAL SPORT OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO REPORT THE SAME STALLING CONDITION. DEALERSHIP REPAIR FACILITY HAS SO FAR BEEN UNABLE TO VERIFY A FAULT CONDITION LEADING TO ENGINE STALLING.

I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. I HAD IT TOWED ONE OF THE TIMES. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN STALLING OUT ON ME WHEN I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP (SULLIVAN WATTS MAZDA) HAS SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, AND TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK IN THE NEXT TIME I HAVE THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK DID STALL ONE LAST TIME WHILE I WAS TRYING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE TRUCK STALLED I LOST BRAKE PRESSURE AND POWER STEERING AND REAR ENDED A CAR, TOTALING IT. CAUSING $4,800 DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK.*JB
