While trying to accelerate form a stop my car stalled. The engine shut off but the radio and all indicator lights were on the dash. I had to put the car into park and turn the key to the off position and restart the engine. My car is an automatic transmission and has done this multiple times all at similar speeds. Going from a complete stop or from idling speed trying to accelerate.
2007 Mazda MAZDA3 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 2007 mazda mazda3 and had to replace the transmission at about 50,000 miles. Luckily that was covered under warranty. Now at 80,000 miles, I'm being told that the transmission is bad again and needs to be replaced. *tr the first time it was busy-shifting hard from 4th to 3rd gear when going up large hills. This wore on the engine and cracked the cv boot. After replacement, this issue no longer occured. Now, at 80,000 miles, second gear has totally given out, it skips second and shifts from 1st to 3rd. They say it needs to be replaced again... After just 30,000 miles. This is not normal wear and tear! My extended warranty is expired and the warranty on that transmission is apparently expired as well... Please recall these transmissions... It is not fair to the customer.
Buenas noches! Lamentablemente no hablo ingles, pero quisiera obtener informacion acerca de la falla de fabricacion en el sistema hidraulico (ehpas) del mazda 3 del 2007. Tengo uno y presneto una falla donde el volante se puso muy duro, y en venezuela aun no han hecho el recalls. Ademas quisiera saber si han hecho alguna investigacion del generic electronic module, que controla el funcionamiento de: los limpia para brisas, las luces, el sistema de doble transmision, espejos retrovisores, sistema de control de las ventanas, y otros. Mi vehiculo tambien presento fallas de ese tipo y creo que es una falla de fabricacion de ese modulo (gem) si tienen alguna experiencia o quejas de los usuarios, podria por favor enviarme esa informacion.
Transmission failure. Service bulletin #05-010/10 issued 8/6/2010. I took it in to have the same symptoms that is stated in the bulletin and they said the fluid was a little low so they put a quart in today. When I was driving home the transmission blew up. Please check the forums there is a lot of good information on those sites. The only problem is the the information disappears quickly. I don't know why?
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 mazda 3. Whenever the transmission was in 3rd gear it slips into neutral, which makes the vehicle drift backwards. Also when driving up a hill the vehicle will slip into neutral instead of third gear. He was in the process of taking the vehicle to the dealer. The failure mileage was 80,000.
Clutch pedal was depressed, shifting from 3rd to 2nd as the gear lever hit neutral there was a faint popping noise, clutch pedal froze in the down position, I sensed something wrong and allowed forward momentum to pull to the curb. I attempted to finish shifting, gears were unusable, clutch pedal frozen down. This all occurred in a half a second or less. Luckily I was in the right lane and there was surprisingly little traffic. 2 blocks further and this would have occurred in heavy rush hour traffic at 65 miles an hour. After 5 minutes of making phone calls for assistance, the clutch pedal released and I was able to slowly limp to the dealership. There were no prior signs of clutch wear except for a couple prior days in which the clutch felt a little softer then normal but so little I couldn't tell if was the new shoes or the car. The car has 38,000 miles. It is used primarily to get to work with 50/50 street and highway driving and roughly 36 miles a day. With 4 models of this brand over 20 years I have never had a clutch repair with an average life of 90-100k miles.
I have been getting my car regularly maintenanced (and tired rotated and balanced) every six months and I have all the receipts to prove this. Dates as follows: november 14, 2007, march 6, 2008, august 25, 2008, april 9, 2009 and sept 4, 2009. I was informed that my tires were 'cuppling' and that I need all 4 tires now as well as a 4 wheel alignment. There are toyo tires and I have one 34,000 miles on them. I was hearing rattling sound coming from the console, dashboard and passenger side door while I drive. I was told it was wires lose and they fixed it....but in fact they did not. I have also had problems with the power-train (reflashing) and battery died before the car was even 6 months old. They changed the battery and supposely fixed the power train.
