When the gear shift is in drive, and the brake is pressed, the car shakes violently and so much that it actually creates a humming noise. The vibration is so intense that it cause ears to clog up. Took car to browns mazad dealership, because still under warranty. Was told it was the motor mounts. They had my car for a total of two weeks, waiting on a "part" which happend to be a bolt and when I pick up the car, it was in worse condition than when I brough it in. I was told that the some vibration is normal, but I am literally shaking when the car idles in the drive gear. Nasty attitude. I am still covered under warranty and I asked to have the mounts replaced, but was told it was within 'specs' therefore, live with it. This could become a potential safety hazard, because I have to put the car in neutral gear to stop the shaking.

I was told in a letter by Mazda that the reason my brakes go out is because I ride my brakes and that my account was noted for this. The only problem is no one from Mazda can give me a copy of the documented proof that this is the problem. They can't tell me at all what or why my tranmisson has gone out.
