POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
1ST TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 64000 MILES AND 2ND AT 12100 MILES. MAZDA WAS CONTACTED BUT REFUSED TO ASSIST. THE LAST BREAKDOWN COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE THAT WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION WHEN THE TRANNY FAILED. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD OUT OF IMMEDIATE DANGER. SHE CONTACTED ME AND I WENT TO HER AID. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND BELIEVE IT TO BE A HAZARD. PLEASE HELP AND GET MAZDA TO RECALL THIS INFERIOR PRODUCT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!*AK

#728587August 21, 2000
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
OVERDRIVE LIGHT FLASHES AS FIRST SYMPTOM. NEXT, THE CAR WILL HESITATE AT GEAR CHANGES. THE CAR WILL THEN BUCK HARD AT THESE GEAR CHANGES. THE TRANSMISSION WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. THEY BELIEVE THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL NOTICE. NO CODES ARE PRESENT WITHIN THE SYSTEM. NO FIELD SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED, ACCORDING TO DEALERS (MORE THAN ONE THAT I'VE DISCUSSED IT WITH) WHILE MAZDA CORPORATE SAYS THEY HAVE ISSUED FIELD SERVICE BULLETINS, BUT WILL NOT RELEASE INFORMATION TO THE PUBLIC. THE DEALER'S SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE EQUIPMENT AT $2,300. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AMONG DEALERS AND OWNERS, AND WIDELY DISCUSSED ON THE INTERNET, FROM MY RESEARCH. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE DEALER SAYS THEY REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS FREQUENTLY ON THESE MODELS YEARS 93-97. MAZDA WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE. THERE IS NO SERVICE BOOK AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AND THE OWNER'S MANUAL DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM IN ITS TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION, NOR DOES IT INCLUDE ANY MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR WEBSITES THAT I HAVE FOUND PERTAINING TO THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
CONSUMER SMELLED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL. CONSUMER LOOKED UNDER CAR AND NOTICED A NICE FLOW OF GAS COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE FEUL TANK ON TO THE GROUND. CONSUMER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS SO MUCH GAS ON THE GROUND THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS TO START, AND BECAUSE IT WAS SO CLOSE TO EXHAUST PIPE. DEALER SAID THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE TOP OF FUEL TANK AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. DEALER SAID LOOKED LIKE TANK WAS DETERIORATING. *AK
