What 1995 Mazda B-Series Truck owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The interior part of my tailgate has broken twice during regular use. Now the tailgate will not open and as I am disabled it is difficult to put my equipment into the truck bed.
Vehicle driver side seatbelt would come undone. Potentially causing casualties if occurring during an accident.
Dome light stays on while driving day or night. It is illegal to drive with the light on at night. The door ajar chime sticks and windshield wipers will sometimes come on by themselves while driving. I have read many complaints about this on your website. I had this problem fixed while under warranty and now same problem again. No recall? Could be a short in the wiring. Obviously something is sticking.
Dt: the consumer owns a 1995 mazda b-2300 pick-up. While filling the gas tank he noticed gasoline leaking onto the ground underneath the truck. Upon inspection of the vehicle it was determined that fuel tank filler pipe cracked and was causing the gasoline to leak onto the ground. Due to the heat and dryness in this area it would cause the plastic to crack. The service dealer stated this filler pipe needed to be replaced. The manufacturer stated they could not do anything about this problem. *ak updated 11/15/05.
Windshield wipers will intermittently fail or come on by themselves, causing poor visiblity.*ak the part that caused the problem is on recall by two manufactures, but not the manufacturer of this vehicle.

Defective alarm system
Vehicle was parked in 1st gear on a slight slope, 30 minutes later rolled back and collided with a second vehicle. I note that odi #963255 reports a very similar incident with a 1994 ford ranger, which is the same truck as mazda b2300. I parked the 5-speed mazda pickup in an empty parking lot at around 8:10 am. Vehicle was parked in 1st gear on a slight slope, emergency brake not engaged. Vehicle has been parked this way in the lot more than 50 times in the year I have owned the vehicle. At around 8:40 am I was informed that my truck had rolled back across the parking lot and struck another vehicle. Upon arrival, I saw my truck with its rear bumper impaled amid the left rear fender of a second vehicle, which (according to its owner) had been parked approximately 20 minutes after mine had been parked. I checked my truck and verified that the shifter was still in first gear.
Door ajar warning light and audible alarm do not go off when all doors are closed. Both door switches have been cleaned and replaced at least two times by the dealer. Problem usually reoccurs within a year from replacement. Mild heat/sunlight appears to contribute to the problem. Alarms continue to go off for 1-10 minutes after doors are closed. This may be more of an "anti-safety" issue, but the audible alarm is very annoying and makes it hard to concentrate on driving.
