2007 MAZDA MAZDA6 Complaints

THREE OF THE ORIGINAL MICHELIN ENERGY MXV4 TIRES ON MY 2007 MAZDA 6 HAVE FAILED TO MAINTAIN PROPER AIR PRESSURE. TWO OF THE TIRES HAD DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS AND THE THIRD TIRE LOST AIR PRESSURE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALTOGETHER. THESE THREE TIRE INCIDENTS ALL OCCURRED BETWEEN 5/29/09 AND 7/23/09.

I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA6. DRIVING THROUGH RAIN STORM ON I-4 DRIVING SLOWLY FOR ONLY FIVE MINUTES. NEXT DAY REMOTE, ELECTRIC DOORS, BLINKERS, INSIDE LIGHT WOULD NOT WORK. TOOK TO DEALER WHO STATES JUNCTION BOX GOT WATER IN IT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW DRIVING ON INTERSTATE CAUSE WATER TO GET IN JUNCTION BOX IF IT WAS PROTECTED BY MANUFACTURE. IT RAINS IN FLORIDA. HOW CAN YOU TRAVEL ON INTERSTATE AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS NOT BE PROTECTED BY MANUFACTURE ON NEW CAR. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY MAZDA 6 FOR 2 YEARS. TWO DAYS AGO, IT GOT VERY COLD, AND WHEN I DROVE THE NEXT DAY, I HEARD THIS SQUEAKY NOISE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN AND FROM THE SUSPENSION WHEN TURNING. NOT SURE WHAT PROBLEM IS, BUT IT SEEMED THAT ONCE THE ENGINE WAS WARM THE SQUEAKING WAS GONE. I DID CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID, AND IT WAS LOW, SO POWER STEERING FLUID WAS ADDED. ALSO ADDED BRAKE FLUID DUE TO IT WAS ALSO LOW. I HEARD PROBLEM SLIGHTLY THE DAY AFTER A LITTLE. HOPEFULLY THE POWER STEERING FLUID WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IF IT PERSISTS, I WILL CALL THE DEALERSHIP. PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS OVER 50,000 MILES, AND THIS IS THE FIRST SOUNDS I HAVE HEARD. *TR

MY 2007 MAZDA 6 WAS BOUGHT BACK IN JANUARY 07. MY PROBLEM COMES FROM THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH WAS MAKING A SMALL SOUND WHEN I PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY BUT NOW IT'S GETTING WORST I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF MY TIGHT SCHEDULE. *JB

WHILE ON VACATION, 6/23/07, WITH APPROX. 400 MI ON MY 2007 MAZDA 6, I INITIALLY NOTICED SOME STEAM COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND A DISTINCT ODOR. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND MY AT INDICATOR LIGHT APPEARED. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED A POOL OF TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. I THEN CONTACTED THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST MAZDA DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION HAD A DEFECTIVE SEAL THAT LED TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THEREFORE, LEAKED ALL TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE CAR WOULD NOW NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED. AT APPROXIMATELY 3000 MI ON THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED A HIGH PITCHED WHINE WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. IN ADDITION, THERE SEEMED TO BE A LAG IN SHIFTING. I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN ON 9/6/07. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT 2 COMPONENTS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL FAILED; A DIFFERENTIAL SEAL AND A SOLENOID VALVE. MAZDA INSTALLED THE TWO COMPONENTS. THE SEAL WAS REPAIRED BUT THE SOLENOID VALVE INSTALL WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. THE DEALER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO INSTALL ANOTHER NEW TRANSMISSION. AS OF 9/18/07, THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE COMPLETED THE INSTALL TODAY AND WILL CONTACT ME WITH THE RESULTS. *JB

SERVICE DEPT. REPAIRED SOME SPRINGS AND A DOUGHNUT SEAL IN EXAUST PIPE GOING TO THE MANIFOLD.

THAT DAY, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING 55 MPH AND TRYING TO ACCEL, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS FROM 5TH DOWN TO 2ND AND THEN TRIES TO GO BACK UP, ALSO REDLINES WHILE TRYING TO ACCEL. JULY 6, 2007 CALLED SERVICE DEPT. THEY TOLD ME IT'S THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, I ASKED ABOUT THE SHIFTING PROBLEM, THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T FEEL THE VEHICLE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 225 MILES ON IT SINCE I LEFT IT. THE SERVICE DEPT. IS PUTTING ON MORE MILES THAN I AM, AND I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR THAT I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE 2 DAYS OUT OF 7.*AK
