POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WAS SENT TO THIS PAGE FROM A MAZDA OWNERS DISCUSSION GROUP...IT HAS BEEN KNOWN THAT THESE CARS, BUILT WITH A FORD TYPE TRANSMISSION HAVE BEEN NOTORIOUS FOR FAILURE AT AROUND80,000 OR EVEN MUCH EARLIER IN SOME CASES...IT WAS MENTINTED THAT IT WAS UP TO THE COMSUMERS VOICE THEIR PROBLEM OUT, IN HOPE TO MAKE MAZDA RELEASE A REAL PRESS STATEMENT, INSTEAD OF THEIR "SILENT, OR PRIVATE" ONE THAT THEY RELEASED EARLIER...WE WANT MAZDA TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS FAULTY PRODUCT.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I TOOK MY CAR INTO MILLINEUM MAZDA, CHAPEL HILL BLVD., DURHAM, N.C. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS JERKING FROM THE PARKED POSITION. THEY DECIDED TO REPLACE THE PISTON ASSEMBLY AND I PURCHASED AN $80.00 TRANSMISSION FLUSH. HOWEVER, NEITHER OF THESE WERE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. THE SERVICE MANAGER, CHARLES GRAY, DECIDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON JULY 18, 2000. WELL, THIS TIME, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHIFTING HARD WHEN IT MOVED TO REVERSE. ON OCTOBER 23, 2000, THE 1ST REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. I CAN'T REALLY SAY THAT THE SHIFTING IN REVERSE WAS TOTALLY SMOOTH IN THIS TRANSMISSION. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED AND IT IS QUITE AGGRAVATING. I AM GETTING THE LINE "MAZDA WILL STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM" FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WE JUST HAVE TO TAKE IT DOWN TO SEE" ARE THE LINES I AM GETTING FROM MAZDA TECHNICIANS. THIS IS APPALLING TO ME BECAUSE I MUST CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET REPAIRED.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET MAZDA TO REPLACE THESE TRANSMISSIONS. THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE UN-SAFE. YOU COULD GET YOURSELF KILLED WHEN IT JERKS YOU BACK AND ALMOST CHOKES ON IT. THIS COMPANY APPARENTLY DOESN'T STAND BEHIND IT'S PRODUCTS AT ALL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A CAR FROM ANY COMPANY RELATED WITH MAZDA EVER AGAIN UNTIL THEY CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *AK
