Sharon of Ottawa Canada (12/03/01):
The Yokohama tires that were put on the Mazda MPV 2000 -- the tire seperated from the belts. Mazda said it was Yokohama's fault. Mazda put a 215 tire on the van when it should have been a 265/215 tire. The van was too heavy for the small tires. Transport Canada has also been contracted about this problem. I have replaced four tire on my one-year-old vehicle. Two tires are Michelin and two are still Yokohama tires. These Yokohama tires will have to be replaced because the same problem will happen.

At Performance Mazda nothing was said when they replaced two of the tires. They just noted that they were not covered under warrenty. Again nothing was said about the wrong size of tires and they put on the wrong size again. We have pay out over $550.00 for tires to find out that all four tires are the wrong size and we will have the same problem with in a year.

Jerome of Matteson IL (2/20/02):
Within about 1-2 months of first purchasing this 2000 Mazda 626 vehicle, I experienced a severe vibration problem. Took it back to the orginal dealer who told me that I maliciously damaged/bent all 4 wheels/rims. This car has been at a couple of different Mazda dealerships and tire stores who've stated in writing that the rims are fine.

On 2/20/02, I had all 4 rims/wheels replaced at my own out of pocekt expense, and the problem still exists. I am totally frustrated and fed up with paying money out of my pocket for a car still under warranty and no cooperation from Mazda anywhere.
