| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am experiencing a malfunctioning number 1 spark plug for my 2001 mazda mpv dx. prior to the check engine light illuminating, the vehicle experiences serious hesitation when speeding up. i live near many railroad crossings and the hesitation is serious enough for me to question whether the vehicle will stop altogether. i have had the check engine light serviced three times. each time the dealer claims that the number 1 spark plug is cracked. the spark plug is covered by the standard warranty, so the dealer replaces it without question. i am concerned with the situation when my warranty runs out, soon, whether this problem will continue. replacing the spark plug is not a trivial task. i currently have 39,000 miles on the vehicle and have owned it for 2.5 years. the standard warranty is 3yrs/50,000miles. i would like a permanent solution to this problem, whether it be replacing the engine or vehicle itself. thank you. sincerely, robert plata |
