I HAVE GONE THROUGH TWO TRANSMISSIONS WITH MY MAZDA MPV. THE SECOND FAILURE I WAS TOLD THERE IS A SOFT DEFECT WITH THE MAZDA TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE A 1993 MAZDA MPV.

ENGINE MAKES A TERRIBLE KNOCKING NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE A BAD LIFTER. I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST THAT ENGINE.

MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE FAILURE OF AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WE WANT THE" RECALL". WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY GETTING HURT. THIS MINI-VAN HAS JUST A LIITLE BIT OVER 50,000 MILES. WE COULDN'T BELIEVE ALL THE FAILURES HAPPENED IN THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
