I was driving to work in my 2015 madza6 when I noticed the car is swerving a bit to the right. I thought my car had a small alignment problem. So I continue driving as I did not see here any beeps and there's no warning on my dashboard. It was about 3 to 4 miles later when all of the sudden, the car was swerving a bit to the left and right and I can hear growling sound which seems to come from the tires. I was driving at about 45 MPH at that time and there were some snow and ice on the road due to the 3 to 4 inches of snow overnight. Without hesitating, I drove to a nearby parking lot and checked my car. Yap! I had a flat tire on the front passenger side. If that's is so, why didn't the tire pressure monitoring system (tps) gave me a beep and lights up on the dashboard? Also, I remembered taking my car to the suburban madza6 dealer in troy michigan sometime in december 2014 to have the tps fixed due to a madza recall. So why isn't the tps on my car working? My odometer shows only about 8065 miles when this happens. I changed the flat tire with my spare and took the flat tire to discount tire (248-3931900) in auburn hills, mi and unfortunately, they told me my tire is bad as it was driven for quite a distance with low tire pressure. The tire still has about 80 to 90% thread on it. The next morning, I complained to madza USA (1-800-2225500) about the tire pressure monitoring system. I explained to jessie whom I spoke to about what happened. The case number is 1-1-91037814. He checked my car record and admit I did have the tps recall done. But he said there is a recent tps recall but I was not notified through mail or phone. I told jessie that madza should be responsible for the defective tps and should also pay for my tire. Instead he only give me a $100 coupon to be used for madza product and services. I hope to record this complaint for other madza6 owners.

Even though it says it can use the lowest octane rating, I noticed some hesitation when starting from a red light. The cure for this was to go up one grade of octane now no more hesitation.

My 2004 mazda 6 was demonstrating a racing engine/problematic automatic transmission and shifting issues (the tachometer was fluttering and racing) as I was braking on a major road from 40 MPH to a stop at a red light. The car would not slow. I manually shifted down from 4th to 3rd, and it still exhibited the same 'bouncing' revs on above 2000 RPM. As I applied my brakes the car was definitely hesitating to downshift and wasn't slowing well; I put it back into automatic "d" shifting and pressed firmly on the brakes to try to slow the vehicle. I halted very close to the next car in the line despite having started braking well before I needed to safely come to a stop in the vehicle. In first gear at a stop, the tach was fluttering from 1000 to 1800 (well outside the normal idle range of 900-1100) until I put the car in park, engaged the parking brake, and shut the vehicle off. When I restarted it seemed to be okay but it has done this on several occasions.
