Consumer Description

2002 MAZDA MPV ES HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING ON INTERSTATE. WE DID MAKE IT TO A EXIT RAMP, BUT COULD NOT PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD. WITH THREE CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 8 WAS WORRIED ABOUT THERE SAFETY. MAZDA HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE INTERNAL PUMP IN TRANSMISSION GOES WITHOUT WARNING, STRIPING OUT GEARS. MY COST FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION IS 2800.00. UPON RESEARCHING THIS I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG MPV OWNERS. FIRST AND FOREMOST I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF OTHERS WHEN A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. UNABLE TO MOVE A VEHICLE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR ROAD IS DANGEROUS. SECOND I HYPOTHESIZE THAT A DEFECT MAY EXIST WITH THE INTERNAL WORKINGS OF THE TRANSMISSION IN FINDING SO MANY OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM THROUGH MAZDA CLUBS, AND COMPLIANT WEBSITES. *JB
