1999 Mazda b-series common problems

Owners have filed 80 complaints with NHTSA. These are the most-reported areas in a sample of the most recent — and what to check before you buy.

Structure

Inspect for rust, fresh undercoating, mismatched paint, uneven panel gaps and any sign of prior collision or frame repair.

Suspension

Listen for clunks over bumps, check the car sits level, and look for uneven tire wear and worn shocks or struts.

Air Bags

Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.

Seat Belts

Check that every belt latches, retracts and locks under a sharp tug, and that none are frayed.

Vehicle Speed Control

Test cruise control and throttle response, and watch for any hesitation or unintended acceleration.

Seats

Have a trusted mechanic inspect this system as part of a pre-purchase inspection.
