The second-generation Mazda MPV was completely redesigned for the 2000 model year. These 2000 and 2001 models were praised for their agile handling and clever interior features, including roll-down windows on the sliding doors and a third-row bench seat that folded into the floor. However, the van was underpowered and is known to have reliability issues with the transmission, ignition, and cooling systems
.
- Engine: All 2000 and 2001 MPVs are equipped with a 2.5L DOHC V6 engine that produces 170 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque.
- Transmission: A 4-speed automatic transmission was standard on all models.
- Power:
At the time, reviewers noted that the 170 horsepower V6 was peppy enough for everyday driving but could feel strained when passing or with a full load.
- Shifting problems: Drivers have reported erratic shifting, delayed engagement, or complete shifting failure. A flashing overdrive (O/D) light often accompanies these issues.
- Fluid leaks: Transmission fluid leaks can cause low fluid levels, leading to slippage and overheating.
- Solenoid faults:
Faulty solenoids, which control the hydraulic fluid flow, can cause shifting issues or other transmission problems.
- Ignition coils: Failed ignition coils can cause engine misfires and illuminate the “Check Engine” light. The engine electronics, including ignition packs and sensors, were a major source of frustration and expensive repairs for some owners.
- Starting issues: Problems with the transmission range sensor (neutral safety switch) can prevent the engine from starting. A faulty crankshaft position sensor or loose battery connections can also cause intermittent electrical failures and engine stalling
.
- Cooling fan module: A failed cooling fan module can cause the fan to run constantly or not at all, potentially leading to overheating.
- Rough idle: Vacuum leaks, a faulty idle air control valve, or a dirty throttle body can cause rough idling and stalling, especially during cold starts.
- Brake line layout (2000–2001, without ABS): An improper brake line layout could increase the vehicle’s stopping distance in the event of a partial brake failure.
- Cruise control cable (2001): The cruise control actuator cable may have been too weak and could break.
- Airbag module (2001):
Some passenger airbag modules were not properly welded and could fail to deploy in a collision.
- Rear door lock (2000): The rear door lock mechanism could fail, allowing the door to open while driving.
- Takata airbags (ongoing): This affects a wide range of older vehicles, including the MPV.
Buying advice
- Transmission check: Ensure the transmission shifts smoothly and without hesitation during a test drive.
- Recall status: Verify that all recalls have been addressed.
- Inspect for rust:
Check for rust, particularly on the subframe and rear wheel arches.
