| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On march 27th 2005, i was returning from a 4 hour trip when the overdrive light on my dash started flashing, the transmission shifted into overdrive and smoke began coming from under the hood, transmission fluid covered my engine. i stopped to allow for the transmission to cool, it was fine after this. the same thing happened 7 months ago. at that time i had the transmission fluid replaced. mazda dealership told me that the mazda transmission were known for this problem, that on long trips at roadway speeds they tend to overheat and should have a transmission cooler installed. this is the second time this has occurred, my fluid has only 5000 miles on it. there is no reason for this to continue happening, or happening in the first place. mazda/ford, whoever, should be replacing all these transmissions. *jb |
