Engine knocking, svc dept advised us to Mazda oil additive, but still knocks even though low miles. Also, the transmission will get stuck when trying to back up and turning wheel to the right. Also, very dangerous/near collision because the transmission would go into 4WD on its own while we were driving 65 on the interstate in heavy traffic.

Have cold engine knock since vehicle was new. Dealer says knock is normal for that engine. Knock is consistently getting worse as engine wears and getting close to the three year expiration of warranty. I do not feel the manufacturer will acknowledge the engine problem and make appropriate repairs &/or engine replacement. They seem to be attempting to allow the warranty period to expire causing unecessary expenses to be paid by the owner.
