We do not feel that we should have to replace the fowlerers when it is part of the engine.the vehicle is still under 50,000 mile and the inservice date is 5-29-1998.its only 3 months after the factory warranty.whick means it was problay bad at the time it was still under warranty.we had only had it 2 weeks before we heard tapping coming from the engine,.we took it to rose city motors and they told us it was bad fowlers and mazda said we should replace all fowlerers whick cost 1,500.00 dollars.they are will to only charge us half.we do not consider this as fair.the engine is a major part of a vehicle.its scary to think your buying a good vehicle and something is wrong with the motor already.

I was on the highway traveling at highway speed at as the highway turned slightly.(2) when i turned the wheel there was a delay for the wheels to respond.consequently, i lost control of the vehicle.after a few seconds the wheel turned, then i turned the wheel in the opposite direction and the same thing happened.this happened about 5 times.as i slowed down to below minimum highway speed, i finally gained control of the vehicle.(3)i am afraid to drive the vehicle & have done nothing so far except to call mazda, as i could have been killed.
