Mazda USA mazda mpv 2002 dear sirs: I own a mazda mpv 2002 model which has been having minor sporadic trouble for some time. Between 1500 and 1800 RPM it would sometimes jerk and sputter and then it would settle down and continue. I've taken this to two different dealers during routine scheduled service and they said that couldn't find anything until the engine light came on. Well after several months of this, finally the engine light came on , I replaced the coils 1,2,3 I noticed an improvement but eventually the problem recurred and was told to replace the remaining 3 coils plus a hose. Four days after leaving the shop on a trip of 50 miles the engine lost power on a highway creating a dangerous condition for my family. After having it towed to the same dealership. I was told it was unrelated and that I needed to replace the transmission to the tune of $3400 after having already spent $1200.

Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 65 MPH the overdrive light flashed on and off then the transmission failed. The vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop who installed a transmission kit. The same problem occurred a second time and the same repair shop determined a rebuilt transmission should be installed. Updated 10/6/2006 - the transmission overheated while driven in hot weather and caused the parts to melt down.

On mazda mpv minivan 2002- over/drive off light blinks, and car bucks as it tries to shift. If I shift it manually from 2nd to 3rd, and then drive the light will go off, and it will start to shift properly again when put in drive. Mazda service wants to charge me $3600.00 dollars to replace transmission, when it is probably a faulty sensor.

2002 mazda 626 with 37000 miles. Had a new transmission about aug, 2004. Started having shifting problems about six months ago. Nelson mazda in nashville, tn told us someone filled the fluid too high when we had our oil changed. Even though it was obvious something was wrong, and we were only 2 weeks out of our warranty, they would do nothing but "adjust the fluid". This week it started shifting bad and before the day was up it would not go into reverse. We took it to a local trustworthy garage who said the trans. Fluid was "burned to a crisp" and needed a new transmission again. Nelson mazda will do nothing to help. Nothing. A car should not need have a second bad transmission in 3 1/2 years and 37000 miles.
