ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ON SEVERAL MODELS OF MAZDA 6'S MAZDA HAS ISSUED A TSB FOR THE PROBLEM WHICH IS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS BY CONSUMERS. MAZDA HAS MADE A NEW PART YET NOT RECALLED THE OLD PART. WHEN THIS PART FAILS YOU LOSE ALL ACCELERATION POWER TO THE VEHICLE. THE WAY TO RESET THIS IS TO TURN OFF THE MOTOR AND TURN IT RIGHT BACK ON. I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY CROSSED OVER THE BROKEN DOUBLE YELLOW LINE TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THIS DEFECTIVE PART FAILED AND I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THANKFULLY, I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW THE SAME CAR I WAS PASSING TO PASS ME AND I PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY. THE CAR WORKED FINE FOR THE REST OF THAT TRIP IT OCCURRED AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE. I CONTACTED MAZDA CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT HAD NOT ISSUED A RECALL AT THIS TIME.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE, MY 2006 MAZDA 6 MADE A LOUD NOISE LIKE GRINDING GEARS AND STALLED FOR A SECOND REVVED UP AND WENT INTO 3RD GEAR. THE CAR WENT FROM 65 MPH TO ALMOST A STOP AND THEN TO 20 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. AFTER THAT, THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. RESEARCH SHOWED MANY OTHER 2006 MAZDA 6 OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. A MAZDA TSB WAS POSTED IN DECEMBER 2006, AND THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2006. MAZDA HAS NOT NOTIFIED ANY COSTUMERS OF THIS PROBLEM AND A TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AT 58K IS NOT TYPICAL. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS THE VALVE BODY SOLENOIDS. REPLACED THOSE FOR $800 AND STILL SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR. THEN PAID $3800 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT MIGHT DO THE SAME THING IN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. IF YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY, MAZDA DOES NOTHING FOR YOU. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS REAR END COLLISION HAZARD. *TR
