Engine failed/seized due to low oil on 11/22/01 without any indicators from dash. Oil recently changed on 9/25/01.no indication of any problems at all! Cv boots and axles needed replacement at 68,000 miles to the tune of $1300.00. Is it possible that engine is too powerful for vehicle or oil sensor is defective? Have only had car since 5/01.

What owners say
While driving about 60 MPH engine had shut down without a prior warning. Engine could not be restarted, and vehicle was towed to a garage where the technician told consumer that engine had shutdown due to camshaft cracking, and there was a lack of lubrication.*ak mazda dealer recommended engine replacement.
Consumer was traveling 35 MPH and lost all power. There was manuvering of steering & brakes. Mechanic at a garage showed consumer how camshaft cracked, and separated from engine block. Consumer had to replace engine. *ak the vehicle suddenly stall while the consumer was driving due to the engine failure.
Catastrophic engine failure due to rapid oil leak from oil pressure sensor. Oil warning light did not come on prior to engine seizure.
Engine failed. Oil pressure sensor failed. Loss of engine oil through sensor. No warning. Engine ended up 2 quarts low. Last oil change was at 81,000 or on march 4, 2000. Excessive oil around spark plugs. Also had to replace cv boot at around 80,000.
Oil pressure sensor failed catastrophically, with loss of engine oil through the sensor. No warning. Engine failed with oil starvation.
Either manufactururer's defect or the dealer withheld information about the car! Dealer and manufacturer refused to hand over previous service records of the car (from past owner). Low miles and exceptional care given to car by me, does not equal new engine and radiator.
