I brought my 2009 mazda6 in for the recalled front cross member corrosion safety recall. After an inspection I was told it qualified for a replacement. I authorized the work and picked the car up a few days later. We did not receive the normal maintenance sheet. After driving the car the next few days the at (automatic transmission) light came on and transmission started to slip. We serviced the transmission fluid with 3 quarts and found damage and leak just above the cross member recall repair. We returned the car to the dealer and informed mazda customer care. Walser mazda of burnsville said the transmission line has rusted and repair costs would be around $400. I said the damage to the line was when the recall repair was done. The car was driven less than 250 miles since the repair and leaked out 3 quarts of fluid. I believe the sharp edge of the cross member damaged the transmission line when the recall repair was done. Damage should be the cost of the dealer. Document possible damage when this recall is preformed.

I purchased my automatic transmission 2016 mazda 6 from the dealer as a certified pre-owned vehicle with only 1,800 miles on it. I had the vehicle for only a week when I started to run into issue. The result was a new transmission for my car at only ~2,700 miles. The transmission was slipping which made driving and acceleration unsafe. When I would come to a complete stop for a few seconds at an intersection, after releasing the break pedal, there would be a slight delay before my car kicked into first gear. The car would stall a bit and then it would kick forward very abruptly. The issue would also occur when I would shift my car from reverse to drive. The car would continue to roll in reverse a little bit after I've shifted to drive, then it would stall and kick forward very abruptly. I took the car into my local dealer to get it checked. I was able to reproduce the issue fairly consistently so I was able to show the service technician the problem. After the dealer spoke to mazda, the dealer informed me that my car needed a new transmission at only 2,700 miles. The new transmission would be covered under warranty.

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.

It has a very rough shift from first to second gear. It doesn't grind or clunk, it's just a violent shift almost like its slipping.

My clutch started to get stiff and I couldn't push it. Eventually the clutch plate fell apart and the fell through the body of the car. Then that clutch plate fell apart. Then I got a whole new clutch on 6/7/2013 and it felt bad but the dealership said "it's a self-adjusting clutch, it will loosen up over time." then in may 2014, the noise came back and I could barely push the clutch peddle again so I took it and they said it needed a clutch master and a clutch slave but it made it worse and the car made a horrible sound after they put those parts in, so they said the entire clutch was bad and they'd replace it under warranty, but the noise didn't go away so they said I needed a whole new engine. Their faulty clutch blew up my entire engine because the gears were slipping. So a great car had a blown engine because of a faulty clutch.

When accelerating or climbing enough to invoke a downshift, the transmission occasionally slips or disengages causing very high RPM, followed by a sudden downshift and very hard jerk. It almost feels like being hit from behind. This failure poses an extreme rear end collision hazard. Mazda has issued tsb 05-016/06 to deal with this problem but my dealer informed me that mazda now recommends a complete transmission change in lieu of a valve body change recommended by the tsb. This transmission should be recalled, it's unsafe.
