1995 Mazda Millenia engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Catastrophic engine failure due to rapid oil leak from oil pressure sensor. Oil warning light did not come on prior to engine seizure.
Heating gauge would go to top. Engine would overheat. Engine became damaged due to driving while it had overheated. Took to dealer & informed by mechanic vehicle out of warranty. Took to private mechanic & informed consumer that engine needed to be replaced. Currently, problem is still overheating & stalling out. *ak oil was found in the head gasket because the cause for vehicle's radiator failure and fuel pump malfunctioning was not known, the customer replaced the radiator.
Premature wear of the valve cover gasket, causing oil to leak onto the cylinders, resulting in poor performance of engine. Dealer has been notified.
Engine gaskets disintergrated allowing oil into gaps on spark plugs thus preventing several cylinders from firing. Automobile did not respond as it should have when attempting to accelerate, which created a very dangerous situation. Even mazda's mechanics think that mazda should be forced to correct this problem.
Engine turbo-charger was not working properly. Consumer had taken vehicle to the dealership on 3 different occasions. On two of the three occasions, dealer replaced turbo-charger. Defect might eventually blow out entire engine. *ak
At 81,100 miles the engine"check light came on. The dealer told me to replace the crankshaft sensor at $700.00 which I did. Less than 300 mi later, the light came on again. This time I was told the whole computer was failing & needed replacement at $1600.00. Since my car has much less than 100,000 miles, I feel these problems should be covered by a warranty.
Oil pressure sending unit is leaking at 90,000 miles, causing a loss of oil due to poor manufacturing. *ak
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.
Water pump starts leaking. Then radiator bust. Cooling system cost me over 500. Dollars to repair. Like a month later the transmission goes out. The gears not shifting right. Skipping gears. That's going to cost me about $800 to $2000. Dollars to get fixed.

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.
While driving 55 MPH on the highway engine locked up without warning due to leakage from the oil pan. Please give any further details.
