1993 Mazda MX-6
Longmont, CO
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 1993 MAZDA MX6 WITH 105,000. IN 1999 THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT. THEN, RECENTLY, I'VE HAD MY CAR IN 3 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THEY'VE REPLACED SOLENOIDS, TORQUE CONVERTER, INLINE BOOST VALVE AND SO FAR IT ISN'T FIXED. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE BUT MAZDA HASN'T DONE ANYTHING FOR CONSUMERS.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I AM THE OWNER OF A 1994 MAZDA MX-6 (4 CYLINDER, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). BECAUSE OF WHAT I BELIEVE MAY BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OR DESIGN FLAW, I'VE BEEN FORCED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE TWICE OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT THREE YEARS. BASICALLY, AN ELECTRONIC OVERDRIVE SWITCH WILL RANDOMLY BEGIN IT'S FUNCTION WITHOUT HAVING ANY CONTROL OVER IT. A LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WILL FLASH "HOLD" CONSTANTLY UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED OR THE COMPUTER IS RESET. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, WHICH QUITE FRANKLY HAS BEEN VERY FREQUENT, THE TRANSMISSION JERKS AND STRUGGLES TO OPERATE PROPERLY. THIS ALSO RESULTS IN SOMEWHAT OF A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS MAINTAINING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND TAKING SMALL TURNS CAN FEEL VERY UNSAFE BECAUSE THE CAR GIVES THE IMPRESSION THAT IT'S NOT HOLDING THE ROAD VERY WELL. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT I'VE HAD TO SPEND A TOTAL OF ROUGHLY $5000.00 FOR TWO TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND I HAVE FOUND THAT I AM OBVIOUSLY NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR CANNOT BE OPERATED SAFELY OVER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MILEAGE. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OCCURED AT ROUGHLY 70,000 MILES, THE SECOND AT ABOUT 95,000.

ON MY 1995 MAZDA MX-6, WITH 67,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED BEHAVING ERRATICALLY. WHEN YOU PUT IT IN DRIVE, IT DOESN'T ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY, THEN EVENTUALLY ENGAGES SUDDENLY WITH A LURCH. I HAVE READ ON-LINE THAT THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION IS KNOWN TO BE TROUBLESOME. BTW, DATE IS 2003, THE FORM ISN'T UPDATED YET.

I WAS DRIVING TO THE MALL ON I-95 NORTH WHEN MY CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TACHOMETER STARTED REDLINING, SO I STOPPED PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. NOW IT WILL COST ME ANYWHERE BETWEEN $1,500.00 AND $2,000.00 TO REBUILD IT. AND TO GET A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION WILL COST $2,500.00 AND UP. PLEASE HELP ME, I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIRS TO MY CAR. AND I DESPERATELY NEED MY CAR.

1994 Mazda MX-6
Union, NJ
POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MAZDA WILL REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION FOR $2,696.00. THE MAZDA REP WILL ALLOW ME A TOTAL OF $750.00 TOWARD THE REPAIR. SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT, I FEEL THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 1994 MAZDA. I BELIEVE THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE GIVEN ME MORE THAN $750.00 FOR GOOD-WILL ALONE. I HAVE NOT EVEN PAID OFF MY CAR YET.
