Protege 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

2000 Mazda Protege dx. Since purchase in 3/2000, the car will occasional jolt when accelerating. No mechanic can say why. The trunk is hard to get into. The rear door seals continue to come free (the back seat is rearly used). Hub cap clamps are broken/missing (pointed out to me in yesterdays oil change) now resulting in loss of a hub cap. This morning I noticed both rear door windows where glass meets the door- the to of door is bowed and seal is bowed out as well. The brakes squeak- everytime I have oil changed (every 3000 miles) I complain, they are checked and I am told they are fine.
