ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT INDICATED A PROBLEM TO ME, AS WELL AS THE CAR JERKING UPON ACCELERATION. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT KNOCK SENSOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED. SINCE THE FIRST VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER AND AM STILL DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. MY DEALER HAS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION OTHER THAN REPLACING THE ENGINE SENSOR OVER AND OVER. THE CAR WAS OUT OF COMMISION FOR OVER A WEEK EACH TIME. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER ASKING FOR THEIR HELP IN CONTACTING MAZDA ABOUT A NEW ENGINE AND OR CAR AND THEY ARE COMPLETLY UNCOOPERATIVE. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
HAVE A MAZDA 6 THAT CONTINUOUSLY HAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE THE CAR WAS FAILING TO ACCELERATE AND WAITED FOR TOW TRUCK. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR. WAITED 3 WEEKS BEFORE I COULD GET MY CAR BACK AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK, IT HAPPENED AGAIN 3 MORE TIMES, AND TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICING ALL THOSE TIMES. I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE TO MAKE A TRIP TO THE DEALER EVERY MONTH LIKE I HAVE BEEN DOING.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
THERE IS AN ODOR COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWO TIMES FOR THIS, AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE GAS I WAS BUYING. SO I STARTED BUYING GAS OUT OF TOWN FOR A WHILE, THE ODOR CONTINUES. I HAVE 12,000 MILES ON THE CAR, AND THE ODOR KEEPS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. BUT THE DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME IT IS THE GAS, AND OFFERS NO HELP.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS ON COLD STARTS. THE CAR WILL IDLE UP TO 2000 RPM, THEN IDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN AND DIE. ALL OF THIS WILL TAKE PLACE IN ABOUT 5-6 SECONDS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN AFTERMARKET HANDSFREE KIT I HAD ADDED TO THE CAR. BUT I PURCHASED THE CAR IN JANUARY AND HAD THE KIT ADDED IN LATE FEBRUARY, AND HAD NO PROBLEMS UP UNTIL A COUPLE WEEKS AGO (LATE MAY). THE DEALER UNHOOKED THE HANDSFREE KIT, BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THE AFTERMARKET PRODUCT WAS THE PROBLEM. AFTER HAVING THE KIT UNHOOKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS NOW, I STILL EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM. THE KIT IS NOT EVEN HOOKED INTO THE CARS WIRING ANYWHERE, IT IS WIRED ONTO THE BATTER DIRECTLY. THE PHONE IS NOT EVEN IN THE KIT WHILE THE CAR IS STARTING, AND THE KIT PULLS NO POWER UNLESS THE PHONE IS IN IT.
