gas pump shuts off before the tank is filled! this happens every time. the pump shuts off after 1 to 3 gallons and then i can get another 5 to 8 gallons in the tank by squeezing the nozzle dozens of times! i have tried several gas grades, stations, flow rates and nozzle styles, but nothing fixes this problem!*ak
🇺🇸 mazda miata 2001 [Brake] Defect age: 1 Mileage: 25000
on at least two occasions, while driving in heavy rain, stepping on the brake pedal produced no braking action for 1-2 seconds. at highway speeds this is unacceptable. dealer was informed and attempted to reproduce on a dry day. i knew they would not be successful, but wanted to go on record with them as having reported the problem. other late model miata owners have reported this problem.*ak

🇺🇸 mazda miata 2001 [Brake] Defect age: 1 Mileage: 25000
brakes fail in the rain! when it is raining the brake surfaces get covered in water and the pads are to small to sufficiently squeeze the water off and out to allow immediate braking. this has resulted in several close calls and should be addressed as a safety hazard. the offered fix is different brake shields, but the correct fix is what mazda is putting on the current miatas...bigger brakes and pads! if you look on the miata sites in the forums you will see that this problem is not isolated and is actually quite prevelant. thank you for checking into a very dangerous design deffect! mr. jardine. *ak

fuel tank shuts off after only 3 to 4 gallons. then i have to squeeze and pump a gallon at a time until full! i have tried several gas stations, several pumps and pump types, i have varied the flow ratio and the problem persists. the local dealership is very helpful and the most curtious, but the problem is still present after they have replaced the charcoal cannister, checked the lines and replaced the gas tank (since the back flow trap is inside the tank. they will be trying again to fix this problem on may 10th. they have a technician that is here from japan that will be checking it out all day. this appointment makes 4 scheduled visits for the same problem. i love this vehicle,but the fuel filler problem is unacceptable. i know there was a similar problem with the 1999 miata. on the miata forums on the web other 2000 miata owners have this problem too. thank you, mr.
