Mazda Navajo Parts

The Mazda Navajo, produced by Mazda to enter the SUV market from 1991 to 1994, was a rebadged version of the first-generation Ford Explorer. It was built in Louisville, Kentucky, and offered in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The Mazda Navajo featured a 3-door SUV body style with a 4.0-liter Cologne V6 engine making 160 horsepower (119 kW). This was mated to either a Ford C3-based A4LD four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual Mazda transmission. Its dimensions included a length of 175.3 inches, a width of 70.2 inches, and a height of 68.1 inches on top of a wheelbase measuring 102.1 inches. Differentiating itself from the Explorer with an altered front fascia, new taillamps, wheels, dark gray painted bumpers, and an interior bearing minor changes but identical design to the Ford counterpart with Mazda badging. It featured two trims: the base DX and the more equipped LX, powered by the robust V6 engine. Despite being successful out of the gate, including winning Motor Trend Truck of the Year in its first year, the Mazda Navajo suffered heavily during the Firestone and Ford tire controversy due to its shared platform, leading to its discontinuation after such a short run. As Mazda's initial venture into sports utility vehicles, the Mazda Navajo still stands out as one of their most reliable cars due to its great build quality.

Several common issues have plagued the Mazda Navajo over the years, hurting performance and reliability. The 1994 model is known for engine misfires, with owners experiencing this annoying problem around 170,000 miles on average. Misfires are typically caused by issues with the ignition or fuel systems or internal engine defects and require comprehensive diagnostics to fix. The 1991 Navajo's air conditioning system starts having problems at around 100,000 miles. Most owners complain of refrigerant leaks as well as compressor failures and electrical malfunctions. Repairs to address these issues vary depending on what's wrong, but they should always restore cooling efficiency. Finally, when a clutch begins slipping in a 1992 Navajo, you'll be at about 189,000 miles. Owners describe it as incomplete engagement between the clutch disc and flywheel, which causes power transfer inefficiency even though gear shifting is normal. This can only be repaired by replacing the clutch assembly.
