Hey,
You sure are getting around on the posts. Ok.
Firstly, what response have you had from Mazda UK or the dealer? and did you have the engine over-run?
I know without a doubt what Mazda UK will say to your letter & will probably compare word for word what my letter says along side everyone elses. That's the problem i first faced because they were not taking me serious i had no choice but to stop paying their finance department (Mazda Credit) then they stood up and started responding but again with stupid answers. I had been in contact with a lady on mazda 6 forums (the link i posted on the other post) and she had a meeting with a mazda head technician, she put forward all the questions that i was dying to ask & nearly all of them were responded with i cant answer that right now, or im not too sure of that.
What a joke right? A head technician giving answers like that, Mazda UK are playing clever and are definetely treading on thin ice - which i hope us lot will one day break!
I am not bad mouthing the company, by all means! But i find it near enough illegal how they are taking these cases? and how they are not warning people of a diesel engine. They seem to be laughing at all of this because they think they can get away with it! "Read the manual and it says all" really, does it......
The legal side of things, ok! I have been working with my solicitor for the past 5 months now and we have gone down every avenue to try and come to a negotiation with Mazda but all tries failed as they stuck to their handbook line.... and how the over-run is my fault. I am currently waiting for one more engine inspection/legal company to take on my works as i have to find 3 in my local area (london) which is extremely difficult considering 80% of them refuse to touch this sort of engine, which therefor means the other 20% are COSTLY! Never-the-less all i need is one more company.
Watchdog are a WASTE OF TIME, seriously i have sent them recorded delivery letters, approx. 50+ emails, telephone calls, faxes etc. Never did i have 1 response......Newspapers, deleted my emails as the read receipt proves, car company reviewers such as which! ignored me. The one you thought who would do something would have been VOSA although they were contacting me and were very helpful they took mazda's word over myn and apparently there is nothing they can do until all of us here report the problem to them.. I know for a fact that 6+ people have done this report including me. I have the direct contact details of the guy you would need to talk to if you would like me to pass it onto you?
As far as media awareness is concerned i am in the process of creating a website/campaign but am finding it difficult where to start. Do you think you could provide me with the letters/documents that Mazda have sent you (visa-versa). This one site could help: http://www.thesite.org/homelawandmoney/activism/campaigning/owncampaign
Would you be willing to help me with this?
I suggest one thing you do immediately... contact VOSA and fill in a form. The link for the form: http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosa/repository/vehicle%20safety%20defect%20report.doc
What do you suggest? Or anyone else, please respond & would be lovely to hear from all of you if you would be interested in helping me....
Thanks.
