VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN ACCELERATING OR CLIMBING ENOUGH TO INVOKE A DOWNSHIFT, THE TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY SLIPS OR DISENGAGES CAUSING VERY HIGH RPM, FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN DOWNSHIFT AND VERY HARD JERK. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS FAILURE POSES AN EXTREME REAR END COLLISION HAZARD. MAZDA HAS ISSUED TSB 05-016/06 TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT MY DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MAZDA NOW RECOMMENDS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION CHANGE IN LIEU OF A VALVE BODY CHANGE RECOMMENDED BY THE TSB. THIS TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE RECALLED, IT'S UNSAFE. *TR

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!
