| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On march 29, 2005, med center mazda replaced both axles at 52, 248 miles. i asked them to check the transmission then because the car would jolt when put in the "drive" gear from reverse and then hestitate before moving forward. on january 11, 2006, the car would not move in the "drive" gear at all; almost leaving me stranded at the entrance of a major highway. i have not been able to use my car for work and i only live 10 miles from home and am not a "rough" driver. the dealership's attitude is "things happen"; that is not satisfactory! these complaints should be addressed by nhtsa; it is a safty hazard. i was almost hit by a tracker trailer because i could not get my car off to the side of the road quickly! the dealership representative admits that the ford transmission in the mazda car has had defects some of which were exactly like mine. further, on consumer.com; other consumers listed and described the same problem. mazda has not issued a recall even though there are 500 complaints listed on this site according to one writer on the consumer.com site. mazda says that it will cost $3,215 to repair. *nm |
