Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
Mazda has recalled their Mazda5 Mini MPVs due to a problem with the car’s exhaust system which could potentially lead to a fire. Three incidents have been reported in the US.
Recall notices have been sent out to Mazda owners and dealerships will arrange for rental vehicles for the owners to use while their Mazda5 is being repaired.

Mazda recalls my vehicle. In place of my mazda 5 they give me a gas guzzling Kia van, no thanks, so I trade for tiny Kia car, too small , trade again for not so tiny Kia car. Mazda tells me in a letter that this rental is of no charge to me, then why the hell am I making a lease payment on a vehicle that is unavailable to me?!!!
