1999 Mazda B-SERIES Truck

MANY TIMES REPORTED AND THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM? WHEN AT A STOP TRUCK WILL IDEL DOWN LOW AND WHEN TO ACCELERATE TRUCK LOSES POWER. NOW I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY ABS BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AND AFTER HAVING THAT CHECK THEY SAID I NEED TO HAVE THIS REPLACE (AFTER ONLY HAVING 27,861MILES)AND AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS TO MAZDA DEALER AND MAZDA CORP, THEY NOW FEEL THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIABLE FOR THIS REPAIR AND NOT THEM. EXPLAIN THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE OUT (ABS) AT THIS MILEAGE, AND THE WAY THIS VEHICLE HAS RUN SINCE I HAD PURCHASED IT NEW.I NOW FEEL THAT THIS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY ABS BRAKING SYSTEM AND STILL HAVING TO USE MY VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK AND BACK KNOWING THAT SOON THIS MAY NOT WORK WHEN NEEDED! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW MY WORK ORDERS WITH MAZDA AND RELATED ISSUES WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT THEY JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEMS WHEN I MAKE APOINTMENTS TO HAVE THEM FIXED.I FEEL THAT MY COMPLAINT IS WITH SAFETY ISSUES AND WOULD LIKE THEM TO HAVE THIS FIXED.CAN YOU HELP ME IN THIS MATTER? DO NOT KNOW WHO TO CONTACT ANYMORE, AND MAZDA HAD A REP LOOK OVER MY WORK ORDER AND SIAD THAT THEY WILL HAVE DON FROM WHERE I HAD PURCHASED FROM (MAZDAVILLAGE) IN CLEARWATER TO CONTACT ME ABOUT HAVING THIS FIXED. BUT NOTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE? PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU, BRUCE M. FERGUSON

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REFERENCE TO SB615642 (ENGINE PING). I HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT I DROVE MY TRUCK OFF THE LOT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ONLY TO BE TOLD EACH TIME THAT THEY EITHER COULD'NT DUPLICATE THE DISCREPANCY OR BLAMED IT ON THE GAS I WAS USING. I FINALLY GOT TIRED OF THE RUN AROUND AND TOOK MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS. WHAT I FOUND WAS THAT, ACCORDING TO MY SERVICE MANUAL, THE FACTORY HAD INSTALLED THE WRONG TYPE SPARK PLUGS. THE FACTORY HAD INSTALLED "PLATINUM" TYPE PLUGS ON ONE SIDE OF THE ENGINE AND "REGULAR" PLUGS ON THE OTHER SIDE. I CROSS REFERENCED THE PLATINUM PLUGS AND FOUND THAT THEY WERE INTENDED FOR A 4.0 LITER ENGINE. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE REGULAR PLUGS WERE INTENDED FOR. PROBABLY LEFT OVERS FROM FORD'S PINTO ASSEMBLY LINE. ANYWAY, ARMED WITH THIS EVIDENCE, I RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND DEMANDED THAT THE CORRECT SPARK PLUGS FOR MY TRUCK BE INSTALLED. AFTER FIRST ACCUSING ME OF TAMPERING WITH THE VEHICLE THEY RELENTED AND INSTALLED THE CORRECT SPARK PLUGS. THAT WAS A WEEK AGO AND THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING FINE SINCE. I'M BRINGING THIS ISSUE TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A PREVELANT PROBLEM (IF INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS ARE ANY INDICATION) TO OWNERS OF MAZDA B3000'S AND FORD RANGERS. BOTH WITH THE 3.0 LITER ENGINES. THANK YOU
