Complaint
2003
POWER TRAIN
I HADN'T HAD THE CAR TOO LONG AND WAS TAKING OFF FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHEN THE HARD SHIFT FIRST OCCURRED. I REALLY THOUGHT I'D BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER CAR, BUT THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TOO OFTEN FOR AWHILE, THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SO I TOOK IT IN. I TOOK IT TO MULTIPLE MAZDA DEALERS, WHERE I WOULD LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT FOR THEM TO TRY AND REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALWAYS INSISTED THAT THEY COULD NOT SO I GAVE UP FOR AWHILE. IT GOT WORSE AND THEN I SAW A TSB ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE SUPPOSED FIX IS TO FLASH THE COMPUTER CHIP. EVERY DEALER I CONTACTED ABOUT IT SAID THEY'D CHARGE AN HOUR LABOR TO DO THIS, AND MY PRIVATE MECHANIC COULDN'T DO IT AS IT'S SOME MAGICAL THING ONLY THE DEALERS CAN DO. ANYWAY I HAVE NOT HAD IT FLASHED YET, THE CAR IS COMING UP ON 147K AND THE PROBLEM IS NOW SO BAD THAT IT'S DANGEROUS. I WILL HAVE THE FLASH DONE IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS BUT I DON'T THINK IT WILL HELP. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED A YEAR AGO AS I WAS NEARLY HIT BY A BIG RIG WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN IN THE FAST LANE. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS AND SIMILAR REALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEMS, THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. *TR

STRUCTURE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 MAZDA MAZDA6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONSUMER REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER THE CRASH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE B POST ON THE FRAME WAS ON FIRE, THERE WAS ON DAMAGE TO SIDE OF CAR. WHY DID IT CATCH FIRE? A TOW TRUCK APPEARED ON THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INSURANCE LOT WHERE IT WAS CLASSIFIED AS DESTROYED. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT ALSO APPEARED ON THE SCENE TO FILE REPORTS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000. UPDATED 09/14/2011 *LN
