WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY ACCELERATED AT HIGHER SPEED. CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT BE ENGAGED DURING THIS ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.*AK THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHCILE WAS IN GOOD CONDTION AND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO HESITATE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND MADE A CLUNKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE REVVED HIGH WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE CHECK ENIGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. EACH TIME THE DEALER TURN THE ENGINE LIGHT OUT IT WOULD COME BACK ON. *NM

THE CLUTCH ON A STANDARD TRAMISSION HAS GONE OUT AND STATED TO BE ABUSED. THE CLUTCH HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED THE CAR IS 15 MONTHS OLD AND HAS 14000 MILES ON IT. *AK

THE CLUTCH HAS BEGUN TO FAIL. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT IT WOULD BE FIVE MONTHS BEFORE ONE BECAME AVAILABLE. *NM THE CLUTCH, STARTER, CD CHANGER, AND PANEL COVER WERE DEFECTIVE. THERE WAS RUST ON THE DOOR SASHES. THERE WAS A SMELL FROM THE EXHAUST THAT ENTERED THE VEHICLE, THERE WERE VIBRATIONS AND RATTLES IN THE DOOR, WHICH HAD BEEN ADJUSTED.

I HAVE A MAZDA 6I.AT 8500 MILES AFTER HAVING MY CAR I HAD THE CLUTCH GO OUT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I WAS SEVERLY STEREOTYPED AS A STREET RACER WHICH I AM IN NO WAY , IF THAT WERE THE CASE I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE 6S . THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM , WHICH I IMMEDIATELY DISPUTED AND WAS TREATED AS A CHILD.EVENTUALLY THEY FIXED IT AND I QUOTE "NOT UNDER WARRANTY BUT FIXED OUT OF KINDNESS" AND THAT WAS THE END OF THAT. NOW AT 13000 MILES MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR I TOOK IT IN AND THE FIRST RESPONSE I GOT FROM THE SERVICE CLERK WAS " WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAR?" AND THAT IF THEY FIND I CAUSED THE PROBLEM IT WOULD BE ESTIMATED $1000 TO FIX IT IF IT WASN'T COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT BECAUSE MY AGE I AM DISCRIMINATED AGAINST EVEN THOUGH I PURCHASED THE CAR MYSELF IN MY NAME AT 18. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER AS TO WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT.*AK

CONSUMER COMPLAINED THAT FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WORE OUT EXCESSIVELY WITHIN 8,000 MILES. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO TURNED BOTH FRONT ROTORS. *AK

IT WAS AT 7,000 MILES ON VEHICLE, THAT I EXPERIENCED THE BRAKES ACTING LIKE THEY WERE OUT OF ROUND. IT WAS AT 11,000 MILES THAT I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL 4 DISK BRAKE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO A CAR WASH AND THAT ALL 4 ROTORS HAD WARPED. *JB

IN EARLY JUNE MY MAZDA 6 MTX BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHENEVER I WOULD ACCELERATE THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE BY 1K THEN DECREASE BY ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD CATCH AND THE POWER WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO THE WHEELS. NOW A LITTLE OVER A MONTH LATER MY CLUTCH IS ALMOST COMPLETELY WORN OUT. I'M TAKING MY CAR IN TO GET THIS CHECKED OUT, BUT THE CAR SHOULDN'T BE EXPERIENCING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION WHEN IT'S STILL UNDER 26,000 MILES. THE CAR IS NOT IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC NOR IS IT UNDER ANY HEAVY LOAD. *NM

WHILE WAITING IN MY CAR AT THE BANK WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON I NOTICED AN ODD SMELL AND THEN THE TEMP GAUGE STARTED RISING FAST. I PULLED TO THE SIDE IMMEDIATELY AND TURNED MY CAR OFF AND WAITED 30 MINUTES. I TOOK MY CAR IN THE NEXT DAY AND WAS INFORMED MY COOLING FAN CONTROL UNIT NEEDED REPLACING, WHICH THEY DID. I HAD TO ASK FOR MY INVOICE WHICH WAS GIVEN TO ME. IT IS WORKING FINE NOW, BUT I FIND IT ODD THAT SUCH A NEW CAR COULD HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM.
