POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING AND I WAS TRYING TO SPEED UP TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE RAMP. MY CAR ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE MUCH. IT THEN SHIFTED INTO 4TH GEAR AND THERE WAS A VERY LOUD THUD AND THE CAR JERKED. THE THUD AND JERK HAVE BEGUN TO HAPPEN ALMOST EVERY TIME THE CAR SHIFTS FROM 3RD TO 4TH GEAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE TRAVERSING AN INTERSECTION MY MAZDA 6'S IDLE CLIMBED TO 3000 RPM WITHOUT SHIFTING. IN ORDER NOT TO STRESS THE ENGINE I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE AT A MAXIMUM OF 15 MPH AND BEING ON A HIGHWAY WITH NO PARKING OR EMERGENCY SHOULDER I WAS FRIGHTENED THAT I WOULD BECOME INVOLVED IN OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT NEITHER OCCURRED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY. UPON INVESTIGATING I DISCOVERED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY SORT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AND IS THE SUBJECT MATTER OF MANY ONLINE DISCUSSION FORUMS. IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ALL TOO COMMON. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS IN THE INTEREST OF CIVIC DUTY FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD POTENTIALLY POSE A GREAT TRAFFIC SAFETY RISK. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I STARTED HEARING NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD RAN OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THEN I NOTICED WHEN MY CAR SWITCHED GEARS IT STARTED TO SOUND LIKE A LOUD THUMP. THIS WAS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME AS MY CAR ONLY HAD 28K MILES ON IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK THEM DRIVING AND ACCELERATED AND THE CAR CHANGED GEARS, SURE ENOUGH..THUD! THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID TURN AROUND CAREFULLY AND GET BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT'S SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 6 WEEKS TRYING TO GET A GOOD TRANSMISSION FROM MAZDA TO PUT IN MY CAR. NOW IT'S 3 YEARS LATER AND MY CAR HAS 82K MILES ON IT. I HAD A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT TWO WEEKS AGO AND THERE HAS BEEN A NOISE IN THE FRONT WHEELS THAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THE STRUT MOUNTS BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO HEAR IT. MY DAUGHTER AND I TOOK A DAY TRIP THIS WEEK AND THE DAY WE GOT HOME I WAS RUNNING SOME ERRANDS. ONE PLACE IN PARTICULAR IS VERY HARD TO GET OUT OF AND INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY. WHEN I DID, MY HEART DROPPED BECAUSE WHAT DID I HEAR BUT THE FAMILIAR THUD! YES, MY TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AGAIN AND MY CAR IS SITTING IN THE SHOP AS I WRITE THIS WAITING ON ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. I DON'T THINK MY TRANSMISSION WILL EVER GO OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING IT. I JUST PRAY IT DOESN'T TAKE 6 WEEKS FOR THEM TO RECEIVE ONE THAT THEY CONSIDER GOOD ENOUGH QUALITY TO INSTALL INTO MY CAR AGAIN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE AN 07 MAZDA6 THAT I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE 2 BATTERY CABLES GOING FROM THE POSITIVE TERMINAL TO THE ALTERNATOR AND THE FUSE BOX LOCATED NEXT TO THE BATTERY (IT'S ONE CABLE BUT IT SPLITS IN TWO IF YOU TRACE IT). SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE I REPLACED IT, I NOTICED QUITE A BIT OF CORROSION ON THE BATTERY TERMINAL. I WOULD CLEAN IT OFF W WATER & BAKING POWDER, BUT IT WOULD COME BACK. THEN MY CAR STARTED HAVING TROUBLE STARTING. I TOOK THE BATT OUT AND CLEANED THE TERMINAL, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE CABLE BRACKET OFF OF THE TERM IT DISINTEGRATED FROM MASSIVE CORROSION. I EVENTUALLY TRACED THE CORROSION SEVERAL INCHES BACK ON THE CABLE WHILE REMOVING THE PROTECTIVE RUBBER HOSING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THEY'D HAVE TO ORDER A NEW WIRING HARNESS AND REPLACE ALL THE CABLES IN THAT BUNDLE (THERE ARE OTHER VARIOUS WIRES THAT ARE ALL "BUNDLED" TOGETHER) AT A COST OF WELL OVER $1000. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SEPARATED THE CABLES FROM THE BUNDLE, REMOVED AND REPLACED W BETTER QUALITY CABLES. ON ONLINE FORUMS I'VE NOTICED OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE MAZDA USED SUBSTANDARD CABLE FOR THE POSITIVE SIDE. ALSO, HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY DUE TO IT CONSTANTLY BEING DRAINED AND NOT RECHARGED SUFFICIENTLY. CORROSION WAS A DISTINCT BLUE/GREENISH COLOR. MAZDA SHOULD ADDRESS THIS AND REPLACE THESE. THEY DON'T EVEN NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIRING HARNESS AS THE DEALER STATED! *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MAZDA6 PURCHASED - CURRENT MILEAGE 84808- DISCOVERED OIL LEAK AT ENGINE REAR MAIN SEAL. SERVICE MGR OFFERED TO CORRECT PROBLEM. OIL LEAK NOT NOTICEABLE-OIL DROPPING ON UNDER ENGINE SHIELD AND COAGULATING. LOW MILEAGE MIGHT INDICATE PROBLEM EXISTED AT TIME OF MANUFACTURE. IF SO, REPLACEMENT OF VEHICLE IS PROPER ACTION ON PART OF MANUFACTURER/SELLER. OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN DONE FREQUENTLY AND ON TIME, HOWEVER MAZDA IS REFUSING TO HELP WITH COST DUE TO WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND THE FACT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME. THE MAZDA WARRANTY DOES NOT EXPLAIN THAT THE OIL FILTER HAS TO BE MAZDA BRAND IT STATES THAT IT SHOULD BE MAZDA COMPATIBLE. DUE TO THIS INCONSISTENCY MANY MAZDA'S ARE HAVING ENGINE FAILURE SUCH AS MINE. MY VEHICLE IS STILL IN MY DRIVEWAY, AWAITING A NEW ENGINE, THAT I CANNOT AFFORD. PLEASE HELP!! FOR EVERYONE READING THIS THAT IS LOOKING TO BUY A MAZDA DON'T!!! MAZDA IS A HORRIBLE CAR!

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
MAZDA 6 SEDAN 2007 THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED IN OKLAHOMA OCT 2007 WITH 14,000 MILES & IS ON THE 2ND OWNER. WHICH IS ME. I AM IN A DISPUTE WITH MAZDA BECAUSE THE REAR SIDE AIR BAG IS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE GETS AN ON BOARD LAMP STATING THAT THE AIR BAG HAS BEEN DEACTIVATED. THE CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP 11 TIMES SINCE 1ST OCCURANCE WAS DISCOVERED MAY 2008. I'M REQUESTING A BUY BACK/LEMON LAW. I AM GETTING DENIED BY THE DEALER & MAZDA. I HAVE CHILDREN & FEEL ALL SAFETY FEATURES SHOULD WORK. THE CAR NOW HAS 81K MILES & DEALER HAS NOT CHARGED ME FOR THIS AT ALL. BUT I FEEL IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE & SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTS & IN THE PROCESS OF FILING THIS WITH BBB AUTOLINE. IF ANYONE WITH THIS AGENCY WOULD LIKE INFO LET ME KNOW. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD & UNFORTUNATE THAT THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER CAN TURN THEIR BACK ON THIS. THANKS *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THERE WERE NO EVENTS PRIOR TO THE EVENT OTHER THAN REGULAR USE AND ON TIME MAINTENANCE. THE FAILURE HAPPENS WHEN EVER WE PUT GAS IN OUR GAS TANK. AFTER FILLING THE TANK (NO MATTER IF ITS FULL OR EMPTY) THE CAR WILL NOT START. WE HAVE TO PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION WHILE PRESSING HARD ON THE GAS, AND THEN TAKE OFF. THE CAR WILL SPUTTER FOR ABOUT A MILE AND THEN WILL RUN NORMALLY. THE ONLY TIME WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE STARTING IT, IS WHEN WE PUT GAS IN IT. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO AN AUTHORIZED MECHANIC WHO FLUSHED OUT THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, AND THAT STILL DID NOT WORK. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, POWER TRAIN
2007 MAZDA6 WITH "NOISE" IN THE FRONT END, MANY PEOPLE WITH SAME PROBLEM REPORTING ONLINE. THE NOISE, A CLUNKING, HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW, BUT AT 45K IT BECAME WORSE, WHERE ONE COULD HEAR IT CONSTANTLY UPON TURNING THE WHEEL/BRAKING. LIKE FRONT END WAS FALLING OFF. NOW THE DEALER SAYS IT IS THE ROTATING ARMS IN THE FRONT AND THAT IT IS NOT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT THIS WAY WITH THE CONSTANT GROANING WHILE ONE TURNS THE WHEEL. ALSO, ONLINE FOLKS SAID THEY HAD THICKER GREASE PUT INTO THE STEERING COLUMN (WHICH WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE ALL THE TIME). THE DEALER DID PUT THE GREASE IN AND NOW THE STEERING IS A LITTLE STIFFER AND BETTER, BUT THE NOISE IN THE FRONT END CONTINUES. WHAT BEGAN WITH A NEW CAR HAVING A SMALL "CLUNK" WITH THE TURN OF THE STEERING WHEEL, HAS BECOME A FULL BLOWN ISSUE. PEOPLE ONLINE ALL HAVE REPEATED MY EXACT COMPLAINT ON THIS CAR. WE ALL WONDER, "IS IT REALLY SAFE" TO DRIVE? WARRANTIES ARE OF COURSE GONE, THOUGH POWER TRAIN WARRANTY STILL IN EFFECT, (CAR NOT YET THREE YEARS OLD, BUT EXCEEDING MILEAGE FOR WARRANTY ) MAZDA WILL NOT HONOR THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH' THE ROTATING ARMS ARE CONNECTED TO IT. AS WITH MOST PEOPLE COMPLAINING ONLINE, MAZDA REPLACED MY BRAKES --I PAID OUT 800 TODAY AND 250 FOR A RENTAL CAR. CERTAINLY, BASED ON ALL OF US CONSUMERS HAVING THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT, SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO REEL IN MAZDA TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT WITH THESE CARS. (SEE ONLINE BLOGS FOR INVESTIGATION). THANK YOU. *TR

MAZDA6 2007 MARCH: CAR LOSES POWER FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITH NO WARNING. IT MAY BE A FAULTY EGR VALVE. WHEN FAILURE HAPPENS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NARROW ROAD AND ON MOTORWAY WHEN OVERTAKING. BOTH TIMES OTHER ROAD USERS HAVE HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID HITTING MY CAR AS IT SLOWED. *TR
