I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE SHOP THIS PAST MONDAY AND TOLD THEM MY FRONT END SHIMMYS. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT, THAT WAS AT 5850 MILAGE AND I TOOK A ROAD TRIP TO LIVE OAK, FLORIDA. UPON LEAVING LIVE OAK, FLA. ENTERING I-75 NORTH BOUND AT THE FLORIDA STATE LINE THE MAZDA TRUCK STARTED SHAKING, SHIMMY LIKE ACTION, AND ALONG SOME PARTS OF THE ROAD IT WAS NOT SO EASY TO MAINTAIN STABILITY ALL OF THE ROAD. I ENTERED THE GEORGIA WELCOME CENTER AND CHECKED THE TIMES FOR ANY ROCKS, NAILS, OR ANY OTHER OBJECTS. I THEN LEFT THERE AND PROCEEDED NORTH, THE SHAKING STARTED ABOUT 4.5 OR 5 MILES NORTH OF THE WELCOME CENTER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS MIGHT COULD BE A TIRE DEFECT OR SOMETHING ELSE.. THANKS, CHARLES EDWARD NOBLES, JR. (TIRESIZE: P225/70R15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P225/70R15 )

I AM CONCERNED SINCE AT RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE THE BOTH THE INNER AND OUTER RIBS ARE ROUNDING PREMATURLY AND IT IS STARTING TO GO OUT OF BALLANCE WHICH DEFFINATELY MEANS THE TIRES ARE CHANGING CONFIGURATION. WHY HAS MAZDA NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN THE TIRE RECALL SINCE THEY USE THE SAME TIRES ON THEIR VEHICLES?( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: R15X235 )
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH A SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM, THE SPEED CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH MAY, UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, LEAK INTERNALLY AND THEN OVERHEAT, SMOKE, OR BURN.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN AN UNDERHOOD FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A FUSED WIRING HARNESS. AN INTERIM NOTICE WAS SENT TO OWNERS ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2007, DIRECTING THEM TO HAVE THE SPEED DEACTIVATION CONTROL SWITCH DISCONNECTED TEMPORARILY. A SECOND NOTIFICATION LETTER TO OWNERS WAS IN FEBRUARY 2008 ADVISING THEM TO RETURN TO DEALERS FOR INSTALLATION OF THE REPAIR PART. OWNERS OF AFFECTED VEHICLES WHO DID NOT RECEIVE A PHASE 2 NOTICE AND HAVE NOT HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED WILL BE NOTIFIED BEGINNING AUGUST 6, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MAZDA AT 1-800-222-5500.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH TRW SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES. THE BUCKLE BASE OF THESE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES WERE NOT PROPERLY HEAT TREATED AND THEREFORE DO NOT PASS THE LOAD BEARING REQUIREMENT OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 209, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLIES TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY BUILD DATE CODES ARE WITHIN THE SUSPECT RANGE. THOSE WITHIN THE SUSPECT DATE CODE RANGE WILL BE REPLACED.
