The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Description:

Vehicle Description: Certain mini vans without anti-lock braking systems (ABS) fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, ""Passenger Car Brake Systems."" Due to inappropriate brake pipe layout, these vehicles do not meet the brake stopping distance with partial failure requirements of the standard. If partial failure occurred in the braking system, the stopping distance of the vehicle could increase, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will modify the brake system. Owner notification began January 15, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500, Option #4.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES
|
|
Description:
|
On certain minivans equipped with cruise control, the cruise control actuator cable may be broken due to insufficient strength. Also included are certain 2000-2001 minivans equipped with cruise control built between March 31, 1999 and March 31, 2001, that have had the cruise control repaired and possibly had a defective cable installed during that repair. It is possible that the broken actuator cable may be out of position and could interfere with the operation of the accelerator cable, preventing a decrease in engine speed while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the actuator cable. Owner notification is expected to begin during june 2004. Owners should contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500.

Summary:
|
More nimble than your average minivan.
By John Rettie, NewCarTestDrive.com
Even after their children have left home, more and more people are finding it hard to give up the carrying capacity and convenience of a minivan. The Mazda MPV is perhaps the ideal sort of minivan for so-called empty nesters. It offers a more refined ride, and its smaller overall size makes it easier to handle. The power roll-down windows in the side doors are what an adult rear-seat passenger expects. The tumbledown rear seat is really convenient, both for increasing cargo space and as a rear-facing bench for a tailgate party.The MPV is also a logical step up from a station wagon for someone who wants more interior space and greater ride height, without the harsh ride and poor handling of a SUV. |
|
Overview:
|
Mazda's MPV isn't anything like it used to be, and that's just as well. Some history: Mazda launched the MPV nameplate in 1989 as its Multi-Purpose Vehicle. It was an important, innovative vehicle because it offered minivan roominess with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and with a single rear door that opened outward, like a car's. It was enjoyable to drive and had enough guts to pull trailers. Today's Mazda MPV, totally redesigned and re-engineered last year, comes with front-wheel drive and dual sliding doors. That sounds like just about every one minivan being sold today, yet this latest MPV is smaller and more nimble than most competing vans. It drives more like a tall car. The glass in its rear doors is powered and rolls down like a car's, an industry first. It also features a hiding third-row seat, similar in design to the Honda Odyssey's, that can also flip around for tailgate parties and picnics. Compared with other minivans, Mazda's MPV handles better on the road, and maneuvers better in tight confines. It offers a unique alternative for buyers who like the versatility of a minivan but who do not need the ultimate passenger or cargo capacity of the larger minivans. This new-generation MPV rolls into 2001 with a few additions to its standard-equipment list but no other significant changes.
