THE OIL PRESSURE GUAGE HAS JUST QUIT WORKING PROPERLY, IT WILL NOT REGISTER WHEN THE TRUCK IS STARTED, BUT IF I HIT A BUMP OR STOP THE TRUCK AND TURN IT BACK ON, OR DRIVE FOR TWO MILES THE OIL GUAGE WILL POP INTO NORMAL RANGE. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON BY THEMSELVES WHEN SWITCH IS OFF, EVERY TIME I MAKE A RIGHT TURN, DURING SOME LEFT TURNS, AND RECENTLY WHEN I AM SLOWING FOR RED LIGHTS. THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WORE UNEVENLY AND CAUSED EXCESSIVE NOISE AND BUMPINESS IN THE FIRST 12,000 MILES, IT WAS ROTATED TO LEFT REAR AND NOW JUST MAKES NOISE. IT WAS NOT A 2000 RECALL TIRE, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT HAS FAILED.*AK (TIRESIZE: 15)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: 15 )

FREQUENTLY, TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS WILL NOT STAY ON, COME ON, AND HAVE TO BE HELD ON, REAR AND FRONT LIGHTS ARE WORKING, CONDITIONS ARE CONSIDERED NORMAL BY DEALER SO NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. *SLC
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.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED.
