For the past 5K miles the steering shims when I drive at 65miles/hour. I took it to the dealer and he fixed the problem because it was with in the warranty. Now the samething is happening again and I had to take it to a local Tire shop to get the alignment fixed. The tire shop as usual ripped me off and told me that the problem is with the wheels and he is demanding that I change the wheels (alloy) to fix the shimming of the wheels while driving at 60mph. We averaged about 600miles/month.

Consumer report and other sources say that it is one of the best Minivans compared to Honda and Toyota. Is that True ?

Is anybody out there experiencing a similar problem with their MPV. Mazda dealers says that wheels are not covered under warranty. BTW, we did not drive our van for about 4 months. It had been garage kept.

Please post your good as well as bad experiences with Mazda MPV.
