2007 mazda6. Consumer states problem with clutch *tgw the consumer stated the clutch pedal would vibrate when it was depressed. The dealer replaced the clutch and flywheel. However, the vibration continued. The problem was then diagnosed as a bent connecting rod in the engine. The vehicle has an aftermarket cold air intake. The dealer stated while driving through a large puddle or creek the aftermarket intake sucked in water which cased the rod to bend and therefore the warranty was denied. The consumer didn't believe that the intake had sucked up water. The consumer stated other mechanics said it could not have sucked up a substantial amount of water.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 mazda, mazda 6. The contact stated that whenever he would press the clutch pedal to change gears, he would hear an abnormal clicking noise. The failure began to worsen to the point that the clutch pedal would not return to position once it was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the dealer advised the slay cylinder would need to be replaced. The contact replaced the cylinder on his own however the original failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to a different authorized dealer where the contact was informed the firewall was cracked and was causing the failures. The vehicle was not serviced for the failure. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 43,518.
2007 mazda6 with "noise" in the front end, many people with same problem reporting online. The noise, a clunking, has been there since the car was new, but at 45k it became worse, where one could hear it constantly upon turning the wheel/braking. Like front end was falling off. Now the dealer says it is the rotating arms in the front and that it is not dangerous to drive it this way with the constant groaning while one turns the wheel. Also, online folks said they had thicker grease put into the steering column (which was extremely loose all the time). The dealer did put the grease in and now the steering is a little stiffer and better, but the noise in the front end continues. What began with a new car having a small "clunk" with the turn of the steering wheel, has become a full blown issue. People online all have repeated my exact complaint on this car. We all wonder, "is it really safe" to drive? Warranties are of course gone, though power train warranty still in effect, (car not yet three years old, but exceeding mileage for warranty ) mazda will not honor their power train warranty, even though' the rotating arms are connected to it. As with most people complaining online, mazda replaced my brakes --I paid out 800 today and 250 for a rental car. Certainly, based on all of us consumers having the exact same complaint, something should be done to reel in mazda to do what is right with these cars. (see online blogs for investigation). Thank you.

Mazda sedan6 purchased 05/2007- current mileage 2800- discovered oil leak at engine rear main seal. Service mgr offered to correct problem. Oil leak not noticeable-oil dropping on under engine shield and coagulating. Low mileage might indicate problem existed at time of manufacture. If so, replacement of vehicle is proper action on part of manufacturer/seller.
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.
