This will be round TWO for me. I had a 2003 Mazda and it was almost paid off and I took it back to the dealership in 2008 because of the transmission. Not knowing much about cars, the dealership advised me to go ahead and get a NEW DAMN car and being young mind and wanting something fresh and clean I let them talk me into getting a $29,000 car (2008) year. Now it's been 7 years and the same problem is happening to my 2008. I took the car back to the dealership this past week and they advised that I get a NEW DAMN car or get this one fixed for $4175 in McKinney Texas. I refuse to pay this amount. If I knew this same problem was going to occur in round 2 I promise you I would have getting a BMW.
The other problem I've noticed is the headlining of interior of the car is coming off. I often look inside of other Mazda 6 cars driving by and I can see the lining hanging down. I'm like really! These cars SUCK!!! I will NEVER EVER recommend this car to anybody EVER!
THIS IS F*CKING BULLSHIT!!!! I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR LAST MONTH WITH 102,000 MILES! I WAS TOLD ITS ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE CARS ON THE ROAD TODAY! NO ITS NOT. TRANSMISSION STARTED GRINDING REALLY BAD COMING HOME FROM WORK AND THEN JUST STOPPED!!! I'M SO PISSED!!!! I DON'T HAVE ANY $$$ TO FIX THIS!!!! LOOKS LIKE A NEW LAWN ORNAMENT I PAY 330 A MONTH FOR!
I AM REALLY UPSET. I HAVE A 2008 MAZDA 6 WHICH I BOUGHT IN 2010 AND IN OCTOBER 2013 I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT WENT OUT!!!!!!!!! I AM REALLY THINKING ABOUT SUING THE COMPANY. BECAUSE FIRST THE TIRE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND NOW I HAD TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION. I WANT TO SAY THAT THEY NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF BUILDING THEIR CARS AND TO LOOK OUT BECAUSE THEY MIGHT JUST BE HAVING A LAWSUIT COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I cannot believe my 2008 Mazda 6 needed a new transmission at 75000 - Mazda basically said "tuff luck" when they were approached about possibly covering it... they wouldn't cover it at all or explain why that would happen.
It cost me over $3000 to have the transmission replaced - I am hoping others who have the same problem will report it to Mazda and maybe they will end up doing a recall.
I WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER BUY ANOTHER MAZDA AND I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THE PURCHSE OF ONE TO OTHERS!
