**Maintenance Summary -
Routine oil changes every 5,000 miles.
Transmission Flush every 45,000. (Two flushes so far over the life of the vehicle) - No varnish buildup in transmission gearbox or torque converter.
Coolant flush every 6 seasons (3 year intervals - California seasons consist of "Hot" and "Cooler"). New radiator installed in February of 2011.
**Wearable items Maintenance -
New tires in January of 2012 - Approximately 7,000 miles since replacement - rotated after 5,000 miles when I put new brakes on.
New Battery, headlights and brake lights in Summer of 2012
New Brakes in September of 2012 (Approximately 2,000 miles since replacement)
** DAMAGE to Car
Rear passenger side door - scraped and slightly dented
Other small little dings in front passenger door (size of a penny)
** Corrective Maintenance needed to be performed:
The van has a slight coolant leak. I am not sure exactly where its coming from, but I suspect the water pump. Our plan is to keep the expansion tank filled (with de-mineralized water) until we plan to get rid of the car. I have been checking the coolant reservoir every week to make sure levels are where they need to be.
**Overall interior appearance
The interior has aged quite well. We perform an annual steam clean of the carpets immediately following the summer beach season.
**General Ride and Comfort
The ride of the car is quite smooth. The alignment is perfect and both air conditioning units (front and rear) work great. I replace the cabin filter every four years and there is no mildew smell at all out of the vents when the A/C units are used. The onboard entertainment system works well (VHS tape player) and the radio/CD player system does too. the minivan has custom OEM rims sized for P205/65/R15 tires and has lived in a garage for approximately 9 1/2 out of the 11 years we have owned the vehicle; so the paint job isn't oxidized.

Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan recall 3.4 million vehicles for faulty airbags
Thu, 11 Apr 2013Most vehicle recalls that take place these days are a result of some problem that happens during the manufacturing process by the automaker, but as we see here, parts suppliers can also factor in to problematic safety issues. Automotive News is reporting that a total of 3.4 million vehicles produced by Japanese automakers between 2000 and 2004 are being recalled globally due to faulty airbags produced by an outside supplier, Takata Corp.
According to the report, vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda are being recalled because of passenger front airbags that do not inflate properly. Globally, Toyota is said to be recalling around 1.73 million cars including 510,000 in the US composed of Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra as well as the Lexus SC430 for the 2001 through 2003 model years; this is the second time this year the 2003 Corolla and Matrix have been recalled for an airbag problem. Honda is recalling 1.14 million models, Nissan another 480,000 and Mazda 45,463. The article says that Takata supplied faulty airbags to non-Japanese automakers, but it did not specify which ones.
Honda and Toyota have released information on their own websites about the recall, while Nissan and Mazda have not yet commented. Read official press releases from Honda and Toyota, below, and look for updates as we have word from the others.
Masamichi Kogai new Mazda president and CEO
Fri, 10 May 2013There's some executive rearranging going on in the top suite at Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan, with current CEO Takashi Yamanouchi telling reporters there "I'd like to hand over the work to younger people" now that the company has returned to profitability. Yamanouchi became CEO on November 19, 2008 of an independent Mazda that had to fight for its future in the immediate aftermath of the global financial crisis. What followed was four years of losses before finally getting back to black last year.
Masamichi Kogai (pictured) will be appointed the new president and CEO on June 25, pending approval at the company's annual general shareholders' meeting. Kogai assisted Seita Kanai with the production-efficiency initiative that Mazda called Mono Tsukuri Innovation, which worked to give export-dependent Mazda the best chance at profitability in spite of a rising yen. Kogai, lately in charge of production and purchasing, has been with the company since 1977 and worked in areas from R&D to logistics.
Kanai, who headed the Mono Tsukuri effort and was among the leadership on Skyactiv, will be promoted from executive vice president to vice chairman. Akira Marumoto will become executive VP of Mazda and assistant to new president Kogai. Yamanouchi will remain Chairman of the Board. There's a short press release below to make it official.
Why the 38-mpg 2014 Mazda6 is on dealer lots, but you can't drive it
Fri, 21 Dec 2012If you stop by your local Mazda dealer this month, with any luck, you'll see the much-anticipated 2014 Mazda6 parked in the showroom - there are already a few hundred of them out there. That's quite an accomplishment in light of the fact that it isn't even calendar year 2013. The move is part of a strategic decision by the Japanese automaker, which is hoping to capitalize on holiday showroom traffic. (The last five days of the year are typically among the busiest dealer days all year).
If you happen to spy the rakish sedan, you may notice something missing - a window sticker. That's because Mazda (like other automakers) can't legally display the Monroney on a 2014 model year vehicle until January 1, 2013. According to Autoblog sources, Mazda dealers are legally prohibited from letting you test drive until the start of 2013, so it's more of a sneak preview than anything else. Even so, we reckon shoppers will be impressed when they finally get a look at those window stickers - Mazda hasn't announced fuel economy figures yet, but Autoblog has learned that the 2014 model will carry a pair of impressive numbers: EPA estimates of 27 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg on the highway using regular gas.
