Consumer Description

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. *TR
