Filed Sep 27, 2021 · Electrical, Engine · KY

Hello i am a 2nd owner of a Mazda 2007 6. And the man i brought car from said it always did it to him as well.i would explain it as in stopping or speeding up the dashboard lights flicker or goes off, the engine gets real loud and car jerks and shakes and loses power check engine light comes on and AT.and Cars dyes in reverse a few times on me. Auto lots said that it is common and known for electrical problems and engine issues and pieces called camshafts position actuator and transmission range sensor and gears. And the man owned before me has replaced them multiple times. Its dangerous to be driving specially on interstate and car stalls or lose so much power that i only get about 20 miles an hour

I have an automatic 07 mazda 6 s grand touring that is having a problem with the transmission jerking. The car only has 100k miles on it. The jerk normally happens between gears 4-6.

The car has very serious issues with the transmission. When driving it jerks violently when switching gears from 2nd to 3rd gear and some times to the 4th gear. The dashboard some times shows the car has switched to the 3rd gear while the car is still revving abnormally high in 2nd gear. The transmission has some very serious and potentially deadly issues. This issues tend to occur frequently when accelerating from a stop. (the car's acceleration is very weak, I don't know if this is related to the issue or not )

I have a manual transmission and there is a clunk noise from 2nd to 3rd gear at high speeds all the time and seems to be getting worse. My friend has an 2006 mazda 6 manual with the same problem, was wondering if there was any kind of recall on this because we have the same problem on similar vehicles

The transmission in my 2007 mazda 6i ve started shifting hard and slipping. The transmission, after changing transmission fluid by dealership, has now gotten worse. 2nd and 4th gear do not work. 2nd gear is skipped and the transmission is slipped into 3rd, and going into 4th, the transmission fails to shift into 5th, as 4th gear doesn't do anything but rev constantly, like it is in neutral.

The other day I was driving and I was trying to speed up to get on the interstate ramp. My car acted like it didn't want to shift out of 3rd gear and wouldn't accelerate much. It then shifted into 4th gear and there was a very loud thud and the car jerked. The thud and jerk have begun to happen almost every time the car shifts from 3rd to 4th gear.

While traversing an intersection my mazda 6's idle climbed to 3000 RPM without shifting. In order not to stress the engine I was forced to drive at a maximum of 15 MPH and being on a highway with no parking or emergency shoulder I was frightened that I would become involved in or cause an accident. I was fortunate enough that neither occurred and I was able to get to safety. Upon investigating I discovered that this problem is not covered under any sort of manufacturers warranty and is the subject matter of many online discussion forums. It appears that this problem is all too common. I believe that it is in the interest of civic duty for the manufacturer to be held responsible for the replacement of a part that is defective and could potentially pose a great traffic safety risk.

I started hearing noise that sounded like I had ran over a bump in the road, then I noticed when my car switched gears it started to sound like a loud thump. This was unbelievable to me as my car only had 28k miles on it. I took the car to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. However, when I took them driving and accelerated and the car changed gears, sure enough..thud! The service manager said turn around carefully and get back to the dealer because this car is dangerous to drive because it's slipping out of gear. They had my car for 6 weeks trying to get a good transmission from mazda to put in my car. Now it's 3 years later and my car has 82k miles on it. I had a broken motor mount two weeks ago and there has been a noise in the front wheels that I have been told is the strut mounts but they can't seem to hear it. My daughter and I took a day trip this week and the day we got home I was running some errands. One place in particular is very hard to get out of and into the flow of traffic and you have to accelerate very quickly. When I did, my heart dropped because what did I hear but the familiar thud! Yes, my transmission was slipping again and my car is sitting in the shop as I write this waiting on another transmission. I don't think my transmission will ever go out of warranty because they have to keep replacing it. I just pray it doesn't take 6 weeks for them to receive one that they consider good enough quality to install into my car again.
