Transmission hold light began blinking, and transmission disengaged and reengaged repeatedly at normal driving speeds. Dealer stated that transmission needed to be replaced. Vehicle was just out of warranty, and dealer replaced transmission at no cost after two weeks of bargaining. Several months later, transmission began malfunctioning again. On repeated visists to dealer (town north mazda, richardson, tx), they were never able to replicate the problem. Vehicle now has 70,000 miles and transmission is having same problem, with much greater severity and regularity. Dealer still states they are unable to replicate the problem after driving over 100 miles. New transmission is now out of warranty, and dealer has indicated that they will not pay for any repair or replacement. After searching your database, it is obvious that there are many problems with the transmissions in this model car.
