2004
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2004 MADZA3 WITH 73,560 MILES ON IT. THE A/T LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. SO I TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED. THE A/T LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE TECH FOUND INTERNAL FAILURE DUE TO PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID AND NEEDS REBUILT TRANSMISSION. ( $3,700 DOLLARS !) THE TECH TOLD ME THAT 2003-2004 HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. HE ALSO SAID, THAT HE HAD 3 TO 4 PER WEEK, WITH CUSTOMERS COMING IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. SO MY WARRANTY RAN OUT. BUT THAT'S NOT THE PROBLEM! THE MANUFACTURER KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, (BACK THEN) BUT DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE A RECALL ON THE 2003 AND 2004 MADZA3 TRANSMISSION!! THEY KNEW IT WILL COST THEM ALOT MONEY!! THE MANUFACTURER FIGURES THAT HALF OF THE CUSTOMERS USUALLY ONLY KEEP THEIR CAR ONLY 2 TO 3 YEARS AND TRADE IT IN. THE OTHER HALF OF THE CUSTOMERS USUALLY HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY, SO THE MANUFACTURER WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE RECALL!! THAT'S BAD BUSINESS!! I ALSO LOOK IN THE INTERNET AND FOUND ALOT OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM!! IF THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT DEPT. THEN PLEASE FORWARD IT TO THE RIGHT DEPT. THANK YOU *TR

AFTER TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A LOCAL ROAD,I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS DECELERATING DESPITE THE FACT I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON AND THE CAR APPEARED TO BE STUCK IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR; I COULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 40 MPH WITHOUT THE RPMS GOING TOO HIGH. THIS CAR HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I TRIED TURNING OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL BY PRESSING ITS BUTTON, BUT THIS DID NOT WORK. I ALSO TRIED SWITCHING TO MANUAL MODE BUT COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO SHIFT OR THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TO SHUTOFF. I FINALLY HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION TO ACT NORMALLY. I HAVE SEEN OTHERS POST A SIMILAR PROBLEM, THOUGH THEY WERE IN MUCH MORE SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTS - ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVING TO PULL ACROSS TRAFFIC AND RESTART THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS WEIRD TRANSMISSION-TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE. THIS CREATES FOR AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I AM PETRIFIED OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN IN A SIMILAR SCENARIO. THIS IS SOMETHING MAZDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY. *TR
