The security alarm feature becomes activated and will not deactivate with either the key fob, the ignition key, disconnecting the battery, or pulling the internal ignition/alarm fuse. This prevents the car from being started and driven for indeterminate periods of time. This happens after the vehicle is stationary, and all the doors are locked, no matter by what method. The most recent occurrence caused the car's alarm system to become activated while driving, causing great concern that something may short out in the engine while on the highway.

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 mazda protege. The contact stated that while attempting to park, the brake pedal was applied and the vehicle lunged forward. The vehicle then accelerated up a hill and suddenly stopped. The contact had the vehicle towed to a tow yard. Later, the vehicle was driven to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the frame was bent and the fuel and brake lines were destroyed. The vehicle was unable to be repaired and was destroyed. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000. Updated 11/09/15*lj

I was driving at about 35 mph and hit a bump on the road that caused the driver seat belt buckle to come loose and it got in my way of the steering wheel. I was lucky to be driving on the left lane on one way street, i was able pull over, and to my surprise the buckle wouldn't latch to the female connector. It seems like the female connector pieces inside it had broken. Please check, this is a huge concern for anyone. If this would have happened on an interstate freeway i can't imagine taking my eyes of the road for even 1 sec. Please investigate! *tr

Recently purchased a 2002 mazda protege5. Without warning, it wouldn't start. The low beam headlight burned out. The heat, stereo, headlights & power windows all worked. The car had no power and didn't even turn over. About 15 mins later, it started fine and never had a problem again until a few days ago (approx a month in between incidents). Same thing all over again, but this time the car refuses to start. What can i do? What info should i be aware of? I discovered online that this is an extremely common problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 mazda protege. The contact attempted to start the vehicle but the engine failed to start accompanied by an abnormal knocking from the engine. The contact also mentioned that the failure occurred more often when the engine was cold. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 880. Updated 05/28/14*lj the consumer stated model year 2003 vehicles have been repaired for the same failure by the manufacturer. But the manufacturer refuses to repair model years 2001-2002. The consumer stated this condition does not keep the engine from starting. It can and has caused catastrophic engine failure, which shuts down the power steering and brakes while the vehicle is moving. Updated 05/29/2014 *js

At first the seat belt locked and i could not get out of it. After about 15 minutes i was able to get it released. Thank god i was in the garage at home. Then approx 6 weeks later i was latching the belt to the buckle and the darn thing fell apart. The right rear door handle broke last year but since no one sits back there i never worried about it. Now with the seat belt issue i was searching for the part and someone suggested i check the recall list for this car, because they are not supposed to do that. I found numerous complaints on line and then this site. *tr
