Check engine light comes on. Vehicle stutters and sometimes dies. Dealer replaced ignition coils ##1 and #3. big safety issue when dies in heavy traffic. Vehicle miles 27673. Several complaints from 2002-2006 MPV owners about the ignition coils going bad.
Browsing the complaints 2002 - 2006 for the Mazda MPV, I think you will find many of the same complaints regarding the ignition coils. I have a 2003 MPV and had 3 coils and all 6 plugs replaced in the spring at a cost of $700. I now have one or more coils failing again and am faced with a similar charge. This should definitely be a recall issue as it is an obvious design flaw.
