Description of the problem | My brand new mazda 6 with only 6000 miles transmission quit on 3/21/16. The cars gears wouldn't engage until the rpms would hit 3000 and then the car would lurch forward. The dealer has ordered a new transmission. This seems to be a common issue with mazda 6 and mazda cx-5. A recall needs to be issued. This is a major safety issue. Someone could have rear ended me or i could have caused an accident. The dealer said this is the first they have heard of this but there have been 100s of reports about this. Mazda needs to issue a statement and recall before someone gets hurt. |
