2007 Mazda Mazda6 Powertrain (other) Problems

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

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

FOR IT HAVING SO FEW MILES 60K AND HAVING BEEN SERVICED WITH SYNTHETIC TRANSMISSION OIL, THIS CAR SHIFT HARD FROM FIRST AND SECOND AT REGULAR TEMPERATURE. ON COLD STARTS CAR SHIFT HARDER AND AT TIMES TURNS OFF OR LOSSES POWER.

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. *TR

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. *TR
