Mazda MPV 2006 CARL B. PENSACOLA, FL 10/30/10 3.00 My rear passenger side window keeps falling out. Even after Mazda Dealer replaced it 3 months ago.
Mazda MPV 2006 Brian D. KING CITY, CA 07/21/10 5.00 My wife an I bought our 2006 MPV ES used in 2007 from Hertz sales in San Jose. It's been a very good car overall. The only issues come from the check engine light would go off because of the gas cap fitting or some emission leakage issue. The van is too new for a lot of repair garages to decode the numbers properly from the car report. They always say, "take it to Mazda."
Mazda MPV 2006 Mark M. WAREHAM, MA 04/05/08 4.00 Vibration at 65 MPH. Reported within 1 month of purchase. We were told it was type of tire and nothing could be done. Complained every oil change, at 30,000 miles we were told the tires were warbling and had to be replaced. The DEAL they gave us was new tires @ $130.00 per tire and if balancing and alignment needed we have to pay for that. Very unhappy with O"hara Mazda in Fairhaven, MA. I feel we were not told the truth until to late to get a decent resolution.
mazda mpv 2005 Jeanine S. KANSAS CITY, MO 03/27/12 3.00 Blue Ridge Mazda in Raytown Mo. is where I purchased my 2005 MPV. I bought and extended warranty, it ended and now I am having major problems error codes 3030 & 3034. The Blue Ridge service dept and dealership is owned by one person. The service department is terrible, they up charge you and do not provide the full quote and then claim to do work. I had to stop payment on a check to resolve a $500 over charge. I would never reccommend them.
mazda mpv 2005 Israel S. UTUADO, PR 02/17/12 2.00 A lot of problems with check engine involving ignition coils.
mazda mpv 2005 Jean R. NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI 12/23/11 4.00 have not had any major problems with my vehicle
mazda mpv 2005 Bob A. AMBLER, PA 08/27/11 2.00 do not own this car model - investigating possible used car purchase
Mazda MPV 2005 John V. PACIFIC PALISADES, CA 02/04/10 3.00 multiple returns to dealer with egr light.
Mazda MPV 2005 Megan D. HIGHLAND, NY 09/28/08 2.00 constant engine problem due to spark plugs and fuel line
Mazda MPV 2004 Tamra W. COLUMBUS, MS 06/08/11 2.00 I have 2005 MPV - the first few years were excellent - however - getting the vehicle serviced through Mazda was horrible - and finally - I started paying for repairs on my own - thousands of dollars later and the SAME problem OVER and OVER again - the Van still is NOT repaired. Mazda definitely has a Mechanical issue - I think should be recalled and repaired at their expense!
Mazda MPV 2004 Edward B. BROOKLYN, NY 05/12/09 3.00 Ignition coils need to be replaced at about 40k, Why?
Mazda MPV 2004 Andre P. , 04/16/09 2.00 Everytime I go on a trip with my family I have had bad luck with my 2004 MPV. Alternator broke down after less than 3 years owning the VAN and on second trip swith assembly burnt making my headlights not functional.
Mazda MPV 2004 L B. MOORESVILLE, NC 03/31/09 2.00 Coil Pack issues
Mazda MPV 2004 Seth W. TAMPA, FL 03/18/09 3.00 Smell of burning oil at times from oil drip on exhaust pipe below oil drain plug. Wierd hesitations at times.
Mazda MPV 2004 Walter C. BEVERLY HILLS, CA 02/10/09 1.00 Based on my experience with other cars I've owned such as Toyota Paseo and Tercel and Honda Accord and CRV, my Mazda MPV has the worse quality and service. I've had problems with it's power sliding doors and engine. Cost of ownership due to expensive maintenance costs is higher with the Mazda so don't get fooled by the initial lower sticker price. I've had Mazda's service departments charge me for supposed warranty repair service and the 2 Mazda service departments I've dealt with provided poor service due issues found after picking up car.
Mazda MPV 2004 Ban T. , 12/25/08 2.00 25 12 2008
Mazda MPV 2004 Karen D. RODMAN, NY 10/08/08 3.00 Has anybody else had trouble more than once with the "design flaw" in the spark plug panel, too close to the firewall causing coils to misfire????

Mazda MPV 2004 Theresa N. WINTERVILLE, NC 09/21/06 4.00 I love my van. I've only had a few problems and dealing with the dealer has been a nightmare. I had to replace my #6 after a scarry jerking, and then my fan relay went bad. Turns out the same relay is on another Mazda car and was recalled, but they are not recalling it on the '05 mpv. I fought with them and got it replaced at thier cost anyways.
Mazda MPV 2004 Terry H. DEL RIO, TX 05/08/04 5.00 Not only the best minivan on the market...the only MINIvan on the market! The rest (Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Doge) have upsized to Maxivan status!

Mazda MPV 2003 Linda C. ALLEN, TX 05/18/11 1.00 I had over $1,000.00 work done on my 2003 Mazda MPV and the next day it caught fire. They didn't accept liability or credit my charge card for repairs. I drove 20-25 miles after picking it up from the dealer repair shop.

Mazda MPV 2003 Lisa S. MERRICK, NY 04/03/09 2.00 My transmission is dying on a van with 49000 miles. I called Mazda and they basically told me to go to hell because I was out of warranty.

Mazda MPV 2003 Marilee B. ALHAMBRA, CA 01/26/09 4.00 The car is generally very satisfactory. I am questioning the service I am receiving. The cost and the actual need. I want to drive a safe car but I do NOT like being taking advantage of. The last two visits to my dealer I felt I was charged for service I did not need and over charged for it.
Mazda MPV 2003 Paul B. , 01/12/09 4.00 keeps loosing wheel alignment and scrubbing out front left tire and the dvd player screen that was part of the deal at the time of purchase has been replaced 3 times and still does not work!

Mazda MPV 2002 Francisco O. CARROLLTON, TX 09/11/06 5.00 Bought this Minivan new 2002. Now has almost 7 years and 70k miles. No problems at all. Interior is still solid, engine runs smooth. Has 3.0L engine made by Ford that is quite good on gas for a van this size. Only complaints are: hard to find service manual for car and expensive spark plug change. Prevention is key Trans fluid, plugs, coolant change every 40k mi. Oil change every 3.3k mi.

Mazda MPV 2001 Keith N. , 05/14/08 3.00 There was a problem with the tailgate that the dealer fixed; after 7 years it is starting to show some surface rust; overall a reliable van
Mazda MPV 2001 Calvin J. , 05/02/08 2.00 Van has been ok mechanically, but the electrical, especially the window failures are enough to make me question the quality of the Mazda design and workmanship. Further, Mazda's unwillingness to address the issue shows they aren't willing to stand behind their vehicles...which in my mind validates the fact that they have an inferior product.
Mazda MPV 2001 Yvette B. MAIDEN, NC 01/23/05 1.00 I have had major problems with this car since it was two years old. As my daughter says everything under the hood is new. Now even the motor is new. o2 sensors,3 catalytic convertors, sparkplugs galore,wires to numerous to mention, had to repair check engine light when it burned out for being on so long(5years), hassle to get car inspected everyyear. I have spent so much money on this car we have probably paid for it three times.YB
