I bought this as a second hand car but can't complain much about it really.
🇺🇸 mazda mpv lw 2014 [Other] Defect age: 9 Mileage: 100000
I have a 2005 Mazda Mpv with 126k miles on it. Me and my wife bought this brand new right off the dealership lot. This has been a good vehicle for the most part until 2014 when the airflow system on the engine decided to not work like it should. What happens is when I rev up the rpms and let off the gas it kills the car completely. I have had this stall on me many times in traffic and driving down mountain roads. I have read many horror stories about the same problem with no recalls. I have taken this in several times with temporary fixes but never truly fixing the issue as the vehicle will still stall out even with new hoses and sensors, frustrating....

Idle Air Control valve is easy to swap out as there are only two bolts. Relatively cheap, but be careful which one you buy to replace as you may have the problem reoccur. Also, PCV valve is poorly designed and causes similar problem as above. The hose is in the rear of the engine next to the firewall and is very difficult to access given this is front-wheel drive (Pain in the ass).

My 2005 Marzda would shut down for unknown reasons. Today it cut out five times in local traffic. I had investigated the problem earlier and someone had recomended that the problem could be from the IAC, on carcomplaints.com, they showed the part that needed to be cleaned. They marked it in red. I found the part easily and cleaned it with Q-Tips, as recommended. Took it for a spin on the highway in heavy traffic, no problems, usually stops. Returned on the back roads in medium traffic and had no problems. Earlier this A.M. I drove about an hour. After the cleaning I drove about an hour and a half and had no problem. Hopefully It was only a dirty IAC. I have spent a great deal of money on regular maintenance, Had my wires replaced twice. Thank-You for this site. In the future I will definately look for the problem and perhaps the remedy Thank-You again Georgiana Fleming.
🇺🇸 mazda mpv lw 2010 [Other] Defect age: 5 Mileage: 100000
When I go around corners or slow down at stop lights/signs the rpm's drop and engine stalls. I had an extended warranty on it up to 100,000 miles and brought it in several times to be checked out. They replaced 3 of the o2 sensors, but still it's not fixed. Now my warranty is up. I live in a rural town, 20 miles from the nearest bigger town and I can't even drive there.

This happened while I was looping around an exit on the highway once. Very scary experience! It happens when I slow down for a stop light. It didn't start happening until after the mileage went over 60K. It happens mostly when the AC is on full blast but it has happened with it off completely. My husband works with Mazdas every day and has never heard of any recalls that might cause this nor does he know why it's doing this. His boss drives the same vehicle at work, same year, almost same mileage and it has been doing the same thing to him. We've both tried fuel injector cleaner... doesn't help. I had a person honk at me today when the light turned green at an intersection while I was putting it in neutral to restart it. I'm at my wits end with this!!!!!

tapping noise in engine. white smoke from muffler when engine starts in morning. bought car about a month ago- used. car shut down without warning. one mechanic thought car needed new engine, another said sensor were bad. sensors and oil changed - used /40 grade oil with lucas additive for $400. it appears to be using excess oil, and the engine shuts down. - wonder if this means the engine is failing. van drove for approx 1wk then problem started again- low oil level ,plus engine shut down.wondering what are our options.
🇺🇸 mazda mpv lw 2007 [Other] Defect age: 2 Mileage: 50000
The window became sluggish at first and did not roll smoothly as usual. I suspected something would likely give. Then on morning it shuddered down and needed a little pull on the window to get it up again. I took it to get looked at. They said the components were dirty. It was cleaned and oiled. 3 weeks later the window goes down and it died. Took it back to the shop and they had to keep it over night since they had to order the part. Did not want to take it home, got no garage and leaving it out with the window open is not an option. But I like my van and am glad the window is fixed.

My van started to cut out and miss so I had it looked at. I was told that I needed to have the number 3 ignition coil changed. So I got the money up and had it done on the 3rd of march. I had to wait till the 6th for it to be done. I had them change all three coils on the back of the motor and change all of the plugs while they were there. I drove the car home and parked it. The next day was my day to visit my mother at the nursing home so I got in the van and went over there. All was still well with the van, running great. I went to leave there and go home and when I started the van it was missing again almost as bad as before. I got it fixed and now it smelled like something was burning. I called the mechanic and was told to bring it in the next day. I took it in and the guy said it was the number 3 coil again and since he just changed it that it now has to be the fuel injector in the number 3 cylinder. He said that the burning smell was because the injector was over spraying the fuel and it was filing out the spark plug and messing up the coil. Oh and by the way the engine light has never come on. I just used all the money I had to buy this van 6 months ago and what little I had saved now to have the coils and plugs changed. I am just sick over all of this. Has anyone else had this problem with their 2006 Mazda MPV LX?
