Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2004 mazda 6 that i loved so much when i purchased it earlier this year, has become a vehicle i hate to drive. my car has a serious transmission problem (as best as i can tell). the first symptom is a horrible whine while idling or accelerating. while driving the noise is accompanied by terrible shifting. my rpms often approach 5 and the car jerks terribly when the transmission "catches". i feel as if my body is taking a beating every time i drive. i have had the car at the dealership on three occasions for this problem. the first time, they could not find a problem. the second time they replaced the water pump, i don't know why. and this last time they found the problem...they couldn't not this time, it had gotten so bad that i warned the driver picking it up to buckle up and hold on. he later reported to me it was the roughest ride of his life. the problem was reported to me as a programming problem and fixed. the only problem with that is here i am 10 days later, and it's right back to where it was before the repair. can anyone say "lemon law"? *nm
