MAZDA6 LX 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,500 miles

I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA 6. I HAVE MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, FOR INSTANCE IT STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD INTO 3RD GEAR THEN IT GOT STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED UP WHEN I TRIED TO GO INTO 4RTH GEAR. NOW I ONLY HAVE 1ST AND 3RD GEAR. WHEN I PUT IT INTO REVERSE IT SHIFTS REALLY HARD.

IT'S PRETTY BAD THAT IF I PULL UP 2003-2008 MAZDA, EVERYONE HAS BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD INTO 3RD GEAR OR GETTING STUCK IN 3RD. I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET A NEW OR EVEN REBUILT TRANSMISSION.

WE TOOK OUT MONEY FROM RETIREMENT TO GET A CAR SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE A CAR PAYMENT AND A YEAR LATER WE ARE HAVING TO PUT LOTS OF MONEY WE DON'T HAVE INTO IT JUST TO GET IT IN SAFE RUNNING CONDITION. BECAUSE WE ARE NOT A WEALTHY FAMILY AND CAN EVEN AFFORD A CAR PAYMENT, LET ALONE ONE LUMP SUM FOR THE TRANSMISSION. WE WILL BE THE ONES SUFFERING.

THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. A LOT OF PEOPLE SPENT A LOT OF HARD EARNED MONEY ON MAZDA CARS AND TRUCKS. THIS IS JUST REALLY UNFAIR OF MAZDA TO NOT EVEN CHIP IN FOR THEIR MISTAKE. WHAT IS MAZDA GOING TO DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE PUT OUR TRUST IN MAZDA AND PICKED MAZDA AND NOW WE THINK THAT YOU SHOULD HOLD UP YOUR END OF THE DEAL AND FIX THE TRANSMISSION.

MAZDA6 I Sport VE 2.3L V4

I am not sure why there are no complaints on this site pertaining to the 2007 Mazda6 ATX Transmission.

Do a Google search for Mazda 6 transmission problems and you will get hundreds

Turns out the problem I had was very common and the only solution is to replace the entire transmission.

My problem was that it was shifting hard from 3rd and 4th but every other gear was fine.

Turns out this car has a faulty throttle body and a faulty transmission and rather than a recall you will find a TSB for both items.

Other than that this is a pretty nice car but if you buy one then make sure the throttle body and transmission has been replaced with the new one which supposedly fixed the problem.
