• Loss of headlights investigation # PE99038

  Based on the review of mazdas investigation and testing, examination of two failed field units (a headlight switch and a combination switch), and telephone interviews of several complainants, it appears that the headlight lead wire which is attached to and located just below the turn signal lever, can be stressed from cycling the turn signal lever and result in fatigue breakage of the wire.Complaints stated that the headlights went off duringoperation in model year (my) 1995 protege vehicles when using the turn signal and/or while just driving (e.G., going over a small bump).Several complainants contacted by odi stated that sometimes the headlights did not come back on after going off until the driver successfully jiggled the turn signal lever or the headlight wire harnes (i.E., re-make electrical connection of a partially broken wire).Permanent loss of headlights can occur when the wire is completely broken.In july 1995, about the start of my 1996 production, mazda changed the material of the headlight lead wire to increase durability.No similar complaints on my 1996 protege vehicles have been reported to odi or mazda.

This is a repeat of nhtsa campaign id number : 00v118000. I had the car repaired at the mazda dealership in year 2000 under the previous recall. 1 month ago the headlights stop working due to a broken wire in the headlight switch assembly. The ground wire broke its solder connection at the base of the switch. I have dissaembled the switch and connect a temporary ground wire to the base of the switch. There is something wrong with the engineering of this switch assembly if it happens again!

1995 mazda protege. Both airbags deployed when my daughter hit a curb. No other damage was evident. Tires and rims had no damage. The bags should not have deployed. Recall 95v184000 describes problem with inadvertent air bag deployment on this vehicle. Mazda claims that my daughters vehicle was fixed in 1995. This undercarriage impact caused the bags to deploy hurting my daughter and the passenger side bag door cracked the windshield. Very expensive items to fix for no reason. *jb

Rear defrost switch failed for the second time. Per my knowledge, this is a common problem with 1995 mazda protege and is a part of tsb. This causes poor visibility and might cause an accident while driving on freeway. *ak

Transmission failed at 60128 miles. This occurred while i was passing another vehicle which made it a safety issue. Luckily the vehicle that i was passing decided to speed up so that i could get back into my lane before another vehicle came along which would have ended up in a head on collision. *nlm

The consumer was driving with the cruise control engaged, he applied the brake pedal(3 times), but the cruise control failed to disengage, which resulted in the consumer's vehicle colliding with another vehicle. The dealer diagnosed the cause as a faulty cruise control motor. *ak *scc *jb
