I don't think she needs help, just another dealer. Like stated above, go to Liberty Mazda and talk to Tom. I would also try to get ALL of your cars history printed IE all of your visits regarding the same problem since 25k miles. That way you will have proof of when it started and the document that covers it SSP 67. You should be fine. I live in Boston if you do need some help. Massachusetts Consumer Laws protect you against this. If a part that is under warranty fails or has problems and you bring it to the manufacturers attention and they do not fix it, even after you're warranty expires they are reliable for it.
All of my car maintenance history that is... Where can i get the SSP 67 bulletin? You have a copy of it? |

Scroll down and you will see that the torque converter is covered by this warranty. There is no reason that they should not have replaced the torque converter or all necessary parts until it was fixed. |
UPDATE: Just got off the phone with the dealer..... looks like i need a new motor.... says its covered under warranty, i just need to give them my service records which i have at home and i am good to go hopefully :)

My car I believe is having that issue of the torque converter lock up. I brought it several times to the dealership and its still under warranty and there is nothing that they can do to fix it except putting in a TCM Logic wich helps reduce the problem by 50% and not 100%
What my deal was is that at low speeds, (I have an AT) it was bucking like getting stuck between 2 and 3rd gear. It couldnt make up its mind. So I just wanted to let everyone know that what everyone is saying about this issue is very much true and I will now drive it in manual mode more often and drive my car so it red lines at least once every other day Thanks for the advice all. |

You go Girl! Kick Ass and take names :spank:. Keep us posted on the prognosis. And good luck. It is bad enough dealing with the dealers but in the kind of weather you folks are having, no thank you. Stay safe driving that stalling 8 ok.
Not driving my 8 now, i have a rental.... a Hyundai Sonata since Tuesday lol Thanks for the postive and kind words.... will keep you all posted. |
Glad you are getting a new engine Kim. Too bad it's taken this long before a dealer steps up, but hey, a free engine is never a bad thing :)
Actually, for 2004s and 2005s, getting a new engine INCREASES your car's value :lol: Let me know if something comes up that you need help with :) |
Am I still coming over with the massage oils?

haha nice. Glad to see you are getting a new engine. Remember, once the engine is replaced, bring it for a test drive to see if you still have the same problem. If you do, make a tech go for a ride with you to verify the problem. As hard as it may be, don't bring it home if there is still the initial problem when they are done.

Issue isn't technically resolved yet. Her first problem that has been happening for a long time was blamed on the torque converter locking and causing her car to stall/jerk often if I remember right. The engine just so happens to be bad and need replacement. Hopefully all works out for the best and everything is fixed accordingly.

Hopefully, the transmission and torque convertor will be replaced at the same time as the engine, in order to minimise her down-time. As someone who will probably be joining the new engine club soon (engine starts easily when cold and runs great; but acts like it's flooded when trying to restart when warm) I am curious how long is typical for a dealer to swap a defective engine.

Try revving your engine to 3k rpm for 5-10 seconds and then turn your car off while still at those rpms. Then see if it starts back up ok in a few minutes.
When I say warm, I mean the coolant temperature is at least 177F. At 200F, the problem is even worse. |
I usually only do it when it is really cold out. I never turn off the engine before it is fully warmed up and I never give my keys to someone else in fear that they will. Non rotary experienced people cause engine failures because "they know whats best"

It is probably too far out of your way, but if your desperate to find a good dealer and a good rotary mechanic to work with, get hooked up with Werner Mazda in Manchester, NH. Kelly is the service writer on the Mazda service desk and Mark is a grrrreat rotary mechanic. If you troll VOODOO8 on a search of this site you'll see I've posted up on a bunch of issues they have helped me with, there are a bunch of others I haven't bothered to post on. Bottom line - good people!:angel:

SSP 67 is the extended power train warranty which covers everything. SSP 67 = free work SSP 77 = low cost engine replacement. |
