Consumer Description

MY FAMILY & I JUST EXPERIENCE THE SAME CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AS DESCRIBED IN THESE ENTRIES. WE HAVE A 2002 MPV ES WITH 54,000 MILES AND WERE RETURNING FROM A WEEKEND GATEWAY TO COER D ELEENE ID. LUCKILY WE STOPPED AT A STATE PARK TO STRETCH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT, 130 MILES FROM HOME. AFTER ARRANGING FOR OUR MPV TO BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST MAZDA DEALERSHIP I PONDERED WHAT WENT WRONG AND IF I OVERLOOKED SOMETHING. I CAME UP WITH THE FOLLOWING ITEMS. I PERFORMED ALL THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. I BELIEVED I MENTIONED ON TWO SEPARATE SERVICE VISITS THAT THE VEHICLES RPM ARE RUNNING HIGH BEFORE A GEAR SHIFT OCCURRED BUT I DON'T SEE THESE COMMENTS IN THE CUSTOMER INVOICE. DURING OUR TRIP I DID NOTICE THE SHIFT FLARING BUT ONLY WHEN GOING UP MODERATE TO STEEP HILLS. I'M ALSO VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MAZDA, I WAS EXPECTING A MUCH MORE RELIABLE & DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. I NOW QUESTION IF I'LL EVER PURCHASE A MAZDA MADE VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR
